Thank you. Feeling very drained tonight. Never in my life have I wanted a job more. This would be a huge promotion at work for me. I never thought I would find a career and want to progress. I think I feel like I have to grab life with both hands.

Well done for wanting to do that, if you want something badly enough you need to grab it with both hands and that is exactly what you are doing I feel in my heart your are starting to make plans now and it’s amazing to hear that, when will you hear the decision xx

I didn’t get the promotion. I am absolutely gutted and sobbing. It’s not fair as I am more than qualified to do it.

Stuff had happened with church that has upset me too. Just feel like giving up. No one wants me :sob::disappointed_relieved:

So sorry Becca, it sounds like you set your heart on this. I know it must be gutting. :people_hugging::heart:

I had, it was an internal post at the school and basically what I am already doing but would have been a proper promotion for me. I feel very let down. I am the only specialist person within the schools trust who does my job. But if you are support staff you are just overlooked.

I really need my mom tonight. :broken_heart::sob:

Aww I’m so sorry Becca I know you had your heart set on the promotion did they give you a reason as to why, it’s not that you are not good enough at your job your too good enough for them, try not to be disheartened your worth more than that xx

They said it was because i don’t have the strategic experience, but everything else in my interview was amazing. I am qualified to do that job, but as usual it goes to a senior leader. I was never going to get the job and I feel like they have taken all my ideas and someone else will get the credit. I am crushed. I will be emailing the principal with my feedback.

Don’t want to go to work today. Don’t see the point :cry::broken_heart: just one heartbreak after another as well. Got issues at church too that I feel are unfair.

I dont know what denomination you are and what your church structure is like, but is there anyone in the church you can discuss your issues with - an elder, prayer group leader etc?

Oh no, I’m so sorry. :worried::people_hugging::heart:

There are people u could talk to. But I hare confrontation. I just feel like firstly no one cares & I feel invisible.

So how do you gain the experience if they don’t give you a chance x

Exactly @Lisa_L51. In education you only get somewhere if you are a teacher. Support staff are not worthy of anything.

Well that’s wrong because without support staff a school can’t fully function xx
