I’m a British Citizen living overseas and looking to make the move back home. I would like to have a job offer in hand when I make the move.

I’ve been working in a management role for the last 5 years but don’t have any specialized skills that would make me sought after unfortunately.

I know it’s not a great time to move back (it actually seems that it’s never a great time to move back to the UK), and that it will be incredibly difficult.

I’m just looking for success stories/motivation that it is possible really. And also tips on how you made it work if anyone has any (that don’t involve moving back right now haha).

I already have a UK address and phone number that I’m using to apply.

Thanks!

I need tips on how to survive 3 months in a toxic workplace.

I handed my notice in a while ago and am finally in my final 3 months. But my manager is making my time at work hell.

It’s at the point where every day he’s sending messages to nitpick things that have never before been an issue. Or questioning things I’ve done in a very rude and passive aggressive way. It feels like he’s going out of his way to ensure he finds things I’ve messed up on or areas where I’ve slightly not followed procedure.

To be clear, I’ve been doing this job for 4 years, and only now is everything I do wrong.

And to be honest, I feel awful. I get a sick feeling in my stomach at the thought of going to work. Or every time he starts typing a message. Or sends a message asking for a ‘quick chat’ or ‘meeting’ about something, because I know I’m about to have to defend myself and my actions. Or any time we have department meetings because I know my contributions will be publicly questioned and scrutinized, while everyone else can essentially just speak freely without judgement.

I’m under a lot of stress right now, it’s a busy time of year so the workload isn’t really manageable anyway. Plus I need to prep a handover.

I just desperately want to be left alone to do my job, get things done, and get out in 3 months as unscathed as possible.

This guy was promoted 10 months ago and it’s been bad the whole time (but not this bad, it’s ramping up significantly). I’m not used to working under management like this.

I’ve also never left a workplace on a bad note and I didn’t intend to do that here despite many issues over the past year, but right now I feel I’m being pushed to the point I might have to just walk early.

Had anyone had any similar experiences and have any tips on how to not let it bother me or how to cope over the next couple of months?
