Sorry for bad english, just need to vent and i hope the nice internet strangers don't go too hard on me. If inappropriate for this sub i will delete.
So i work for this company over 10 years. I never worked somewhere else, and since i started things got more and more “corporate”. I worked alone the last 7 years in a store, 40 hours a week, with just customers to talk to and for some years a nice colleague to call sometimes over the day. All the work and responsibility was on me, and for the most time i could handle it. Things got more strict, i could handle it. Over the years i often felt like they tried to gaslight us in the stores, criticism was often talked down or ignored. I think i keep it short by saying they wanted us to make more money faster, with less people, with less ressources, not asking questions, not criticising the company and feeling absolutely thankful about it. I stick with it because i have fear of change.
So, it came like it had to, in the beginning of 2022 i was diagnosed with burnout. I have depression for like 5 years now and the past 2 years were extremely rough for several reasons. I often communicated loud and clear that i needed help. I have become very open about it with my ex boss (he quit in march), but he didn't do shit about it. I opened up more, hoping that someone would do something, but nothing happened. I thought i just had to be stronger than this and kept going on until a meeting with the new boss went awfully wrong and i got a mental breakdown. New boss got me in an awful situation on purpose with another, higher boss and i felt trapped and attacked. I was sick for several weeks, and when i came back i was still alone with all the work of weeks on top. Then new boss sent me to a new store, because mine didn't “get the needed sales”. Now i am in a new store i hate, with still no help, and new boss hates me because i am uncomfortable. She said its not good that i say what i think about stuff at work because this is the reason i “see everything so negative”, and if i could just focus on the good things i wouldn't be so unhappy. I have this thing that i speak my mind when i think something doesn't make sense, i am highly educated in my field and don't like taking BS when i see it. So, hive mind of reddit, is this as over the top as i feel it is? Or am i just a whiney thing that needs to “shut up about things i will not change” like old boss told me?
