I told my boss that I had depression two years ago.?

Question

I work as a part time librarian for two years. Sometimes, if my boss asked me to do extra hours, I would say yes. But some of the staff did not like me and they sabotaged my work and spread the rumor that I took money into my pocket. Then I told my boss that I was not suitable to do more hours that I promised to take, she said I did not have a good work spirit and report my absence to the HR. I told her that my colleague was trying to smear my charactor but she did not want to take that. She said it's all personal problems. So I told her and the HR staff that I had depression and could not take more hours than that. After that I was doing my part time hours as usual. The boss left because she too could not tolerate the horrible work that those colleagues did to her. But she still held the believe that I was doing wrong for not taking the hours as promised. Now I saw the other branch had a full time position, I applied for it but after they interviewed me, they said I am not suitable

for the job. The people that I worked with act as my referee and they all told me that I should not apply for it because I told the boss before that I could not take more hours due to depression. I really want to leave the work and move on to another library becuase my colleagues are so mean and they don't want me to be with them because they like to be lazy, and the new boss did not like every body at work, he is such an asshole too. If I have another chance to be interviewed for another position, how do I tell them that although I have depression (which is true and I was hospitalised for that), I can still handle some full time work provide that I don't need to stay in the same library anymore?

Answer 1

The only way out of your dilemma would be to have your doctor give them a statement saying that you are capable of working a full time position. Even then, you would have to convince HR that you can do the job AND get along with your coworkers.

Hello, Im sorry that you're going by way of this, it have got to be rather difficult. To get to the factor, I have a historical past of melancholy and anxiousness, additionally I know the way it feels to be unemployed (for a well yr) that is under no circumstances a cause to cheat. Your accomplice has a difficulty with being trustworthy. I am sorry to sound so harsh however many times, us females, we have now such a lot religion in our companions and relationships and feel with al our hearts that we will difference the trouble and if it is going incorrect, once more, a few how we discover a solution to blame ourselves (I did not take a look at difficult ample, I must have permit him so A and B) The fact is, even supposing you have been a absolutely unreasonable individual, if anybody loves u, they'll love u. The finish. If they do not, they'll attempt to make it paintings or go away. Cheating and mendacity is a character, individual flaw, now not whatever u can push anybody to do. The Western society and psychology places such a lot emphasis at the "If you do not ..... s/he'll cheat" it has received us right into a giant mess. Ask your self, if it have been the wrong way circular, could u cheat? I had been by way of hell and again once more, I had been refused such a lot of rights, and such a lot of matters by and large one must get freely in a courting, however dishonest has on no account crossed my brain and it wont.

Answer 4

i also have a problem with my collegues but its different from your situation. i know the feeling but i learned to believe in myself and not to listen to what others are saying because it will always BRING YOU DOWN. if u want to keep progessing you have to learn to close your ears & ignore them. Yes, i know its difficult because some people can not see other people happiness. There are so many types of human & that just how life is. If your collegues give you a hard time & bad mouth you, what i can suggest is that you stop reacting to those people & try to look that you wasn't effected by their comment because it is only important for YOU to know who you are.

You can also try to socialize with your collegues to let them know the truth about yourself.try invite them to your house party etc. People like when being nice too. Maybe you should compliment them sometimes such as "i like your hair", "Oh..your skin is radiance. What are u wearing?" or something like that.

Answer 5

You don't need to tell anyone that you had depression. It is a desease, a health condition, just like diabetis, and this is none of their business. So don't tell your potential employer that you had depression. Also don't use it as an excuse, too. It is just a desease like any other.

Don't use these people who are mean as references. Your boss doesn't have to be your reference. If there is at least one collegue that was nice to you - use him/her as a reference.
