Just wondering if anyone had ever been bullied at work, i dont mean physically bullied, but mentally bullied.
The situation im in at the moment feels like i am being bullied.
I have been in my current job for 3 years, at first i loved it, then the receptionist became ill, and i had to cover reception, which ment over time i got extremely bored with the job. I have been trying to get other jobs for the past year, but no one wants to employ me. But today ive just had enough, Ive been bollocked twice for something that wasnt my fault (im not just saying that either) (this twat asked me something about someone elses computer folder, and i didnt have a clue what the answer was, so of course that deserves me getting bollocked) I get grief from this man and women everyday, ive been to my boss about it, but its such a small office he wont do anything about it, I feel like leaving tonite and never ever coming back. Would they be able to do ne thing to me if i didnt? (come back i mean)

It sounds to me like you've done everything you can to stop it. They all sound like pricks where you work. Are you in a union? An industrial tribunal sounds good to me. I wouldn't stay there, really, I'd start looking elsewhere. They couldn't kick up a fuss, and if they did, tell them to fuck themselves because they treated you so poorly.
If you are sick of it and decide to quit hand in your notice and take the notive period off as holidays!

If you've tried your best to sort things out and it's still going on, or getting worse, leave if you can. They don't deserve you! You may be able to take them to a tribunal and claim for 'constructive dismissal', but the best thing for you all round is to get a better job.
