I think Im about to lose my job and need some advice

Every day I worry about my job. I have been depressed off and on for about 6-8 months. I've done some research on "contructive discharges" and it seems to fall in this category. My boss hardly speaks to me anymore, so it has become quite a stressfull situation. I will not be able to find another job making the money I do right now. I have even been hospitalized because of the pressure that I have been feeling. Now I owe about $10,000 in medical bills to add to my situation. The other situation is my parents. They are elderly and still haven't finished paying for their house. I live with them to help with the bills, but my father can't continue working on his part-time job because of his health. I live with my parents to help them, but can't afford to pay all of the bills. Should they do a reverse mortage?(I hate that it would come to that siutation) I'm single so I don't have anyone to help me. I have tried to find another job with a decent salary but have had no luck....

Unless there's a whole lot more going on than you mention, it isn't constructive dismissal. Your boss not talking to you, or barely talking to you, isn't constructive dismissal.



Continue looking for another job, and realize that you will very likely have to take a pay cut unless you are at minimum wage now. You might have to adjust your definition of a decent salary when referring to a new job.



Good luck - you are obviously in a bad situation, and need to get out of it even if it means making less money, even if it's a lot less.



As to a reverse mortgage for your parents, assuming they qualify that would be a possibility for them.

You are in a bad situation. You are doing the best you can and you tell yourself you are a good person and you will feel better. You cannot do anymore than you are doing. You are working and helping your parents, your suffering from depression and I am sure you are a functioning wonderful beautiful person. Pray on it. Karen

if you feel that you are being hospitalized cause of some stupid job, THen Get the hell out of there, from what you are saying, yep sounds like they are after ya.



declare bankruptcy, tkae a job for $8 an hour, or give a one week notice and leave and you'll feel much better the minute you leave the place, i know cause i've been there done that.



your health and well being is at most importance.

I would start looking for a new job. Cut expenses and start saving money. Save enough for 3 months w/o working.

I would check to see what jobs are available in your line of work. Maybe moving to another area will yield better results.

hi there smilies/smiley.gif



It's sounds like you've got a lot on your shoulders right now. Maybe even talk to your HR rep, because the way your boss is treating you is definately a form of insidious harassment, it is not right.



There are some online jobs that i've been successfull with. (i personally work online as a virtual customer service rep for a card company)



I recommend taking a look at these companies/directories---And to my knowledge, none of them should charge you a start up fee. (never pay to join a site----very few legit companies will require you to pay them in order for them to pay you!)



AccuTran Global (Transcription Services)

Axion Data (Data Entry)

Precyse Solutions (Transcription Services)

OSI Business Services (Accounting and Book Keeping Jobs)

Working Solutions (excellent Directory)
