Question: Had a bad employer now scared to accept any job offers what to do? I have a great job now, but unfortunatly it is a temp job and is ending in a few months. I was so scared to accept the job i'm in now because of my previous employer. I had a horrible employer before the job i'm in now. They treated me badly and just shot my self confidence down. The company I was at had a horrible newer employee that treated me like crap, I would tell the boss how I was treated and what the person did and what they lied about (she tried to get me in trouble a few times) the boss always took the other person's side of the story. (though i was at the compnay longer than this new girl)\nThe boss was horrible. She was rude and mean and I never felt once that she backed my decision and work...though I did great work and was complemented about once or twice during the year I was there. I just had such a horrible exp. thier, I am terrified now of accepting any job...I'm scared it will turn out to be as horrible at that job. The ppl were terrible there, down rite mean...

Answer: When you work for a tyrant it is demoralizing, demeaning, and it can damage your self esteem beyond repair.  I feel for you--and I am in the same boat.\nI can only tell you to do what I haven't yet done myself.  Move on.  Take a new job and hopefully you will be able to work for people that appreciate you.
