Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy’s own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
Two years ago I graduated and landed my first “grown up” job. I was beaming – those years of study had paid off. However, 18 months in and my position in the company had become untenable. I was frequently in tears after humiliating dress-downs from the boss in the open plan office, as well as struggling to deal with a highly stressful, pressurised work load.
I have since left and obtained an excellent and exciting opportunity with a much more positive company.
However, I feel my past experience is holding me back.
My self-confidence is shattered and I don’t feel like I can move on from my corporate break up.
