Difficulty telling people how I really feel.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, better not thinking too much and being on auto pilot to survive.🚁

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope and @Former-Member,

it has been such an interesting day. @Faith-and-Hope, something sort of similar happend to me at work about 2 and a half years ago and it took me about a year or so to get over it. I did get help from a lawyer and I did go through the Fair Work Commission in order to try and get justice...

Long story short, my case went to mediation, my ex-boss said such stupid things and even so, the case was not resolved and nothing happened!

It was up to me whether I wanted to proceed to court or not, but I decided not to. The reason being that it could go on for years.... I did not want to spend any more energy on it. I feel the same way with the situation I am in now, as I only ever worked a total of 6 days there, so I don't feel like giving it any more energy. I already feel good about myself and the way I handled it. Somehow, that is enough.

@Former-Member, I am very sorry about what happened to you. I don't want to trigger you.

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine. She took out health insurance and then had surgery, only to find out the surgery was not even covered by her policy!! She totally believed that it was covered, but they changed her policy terms without her knowing, and then they pretended that they had sent her a letter telling her of the new terms! She received no such letter!

They are evil bast-rds. She tried and tried to chase it up, but she never had any satisfaction.

I think she felt like I did.... that it was not worth spending more time and energy on.

I don't know what else to say. Only that there are some very ruthless people in this world.... I doubt they suffer, I honestly doubt they ever lose sleep or anything due to their disgusting actions.!!

Probably even Hitler slept well at night.

I guess what I was trying to say is...they know they will get away with it @Sahara!

@Former-Member,

yes, perhaps some of these terrible people are getting away with some very dodgy stuff. I think the best thing to do is to speak out.... tell people you know what happened to you and name names. That is what I have done in the past. The feedback I have gotten is that everyone knows someone who has also had problems with the same employers that I have struggled with. So it becomes common knowledge and these people get a 'bad name'. Everyone seems to know what they are like.

Otherwise... I don't know.

I guess I just plan to gravitate towards more genuine people. I think that the more you shun the awful people, the more luck you will have in meeting the good ones. If you hang about and sort of tolerate the crooks, you will become 'tainted' by them. They will drag you down.

I have seen people in this town who still work for my ex-employer (from 2 and a half years ago) and they have become stuck. They are just going through the motions.... they choose to associate with a terrible, exploitative, crooked guy and I think they start to believe they deserve nothing better!

@Faith-and-Hope,

yes, eventually people get their 'come-uppance'. They eventually have to pay for what they have done, one way or another. Perhaps it will be when they meet their maker?

Lol, I had to laugh when you wrote "you will have to change the title of this discussion to something else"

Oh yes, it's so funny.... I am finally telling people what I really think. xxx

@Sahara,yes everyone knows what they are like,can't discuss because Im trying to keep calm,they are known for that conduct, doesn't seem to affect them ,but recently when I went for a job interview involving customer service,I live in fear of coming face to face with them,which was one relief not being successful.

I have as mentioned shut off from the world,don't talk or avoid people who can possibly upset me,or are just pure gossips.I live in a small town too,don't shop in it.thanks😴
