Selena, it’s your decision. It’s your life and your career
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Can I be rude? I don't mean to be, but I think blunt is probably better...Originally Posted by selena
Our eldest is almost 18. He's been looking at universities and courses. He has chosen that after his A Levels this summer he is wanting to go to a uni on the other side of the country to do an amazing sounding law course. Both of these are HIS choices as it's his life.
My daughter is almost 15. Last term at school she had to pick what options she wanted to take for her GCSE exams in 2 years time. Marc and I guided her, but it's her life and her decision. We chose to let her do the things she loves to do....
Our youngest isn't sure what languages or sciences she wants to do. She's heavily dyslexic and her spelling in English is appalling, however she is excelling in French and Spanish and all 3 sciences and art. What options she picks are HER choice. It's HER life.
Do you see where I'm getting at? My Mum insisted I took Business Studies A Level. I hated it. Every second of it. I did brilliantly in it, but hated it. I would have rathered done something different... I will never make my children take something if they don't want to (unless it's compulsory lol)
It's a sad fact, but your Mum isn't always going to be here and do you really want to be tied to a job you hate and is making you ill when you have so many hopes and dreams of travel and freelance and being your own boss? You will never be as young as you are right here, right now. Do whatever YOU want. Do NOT live your life for her.
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

One word to what Suzi posted - AMEN
I couldn't have put it better, you can guide your children but NEVER push them in a direction they don't want to go.
You can't live someone else's life they're taken so just live your own.
Either work for a different company or set out on your own either way don't stay in a job where you're so badly treated.
Life ain't easy for any of us, you're a talented translator Selena so go for it.
77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"

Thank you everybody.
I should definitely go.
She has become dangerous. Especially two last incidents proved it.
Yesterday a man came to her office for translation services, he was from Israel.He shouted at her that she hadn't done her services properly. A translator from my company did it.
Generally, she is good at her job.
But this man came and asked for stamp of sworn translator, because the girl is not sworn.
This man was very nervous and he seemed crazy too.
She asked me to put my stamp and sign like I had done it. I replied instead that I should check it carefully first and refused-NO. He didn't want to wait for proper check
and I refused. She shouted, called me all names, jumped.
A colleague of mine, also sworn translator of English and Romanian, just like me, a good translator who worked nights too. She became sworn this spring, also pair English-Romanian.
We had been recognized as specialists able to translate into English and to present a clear message of Romanian text.
Well, she decided to leave after New Year, because she cannot tolerate it anymore.
She has told me today she cannot imagine how I still survive in this chaos.
She came to my boss yesterday with a statement that she wants to leave.
My boss threatened her and said she would not let anyone sworn go in that simple way, because we will regret.
But she can let her go if she resigns forever and never works as a translator in Moldova.
She has no right because she didn't give us this right, but the Ministry of Justice.
Now the girl has told me she wants to leave in 2 weeks.
She told me other translator who left the company, had also been threatened
I asked how she thinks to sort it out.
The girl said she would go to Labor Inspection and to Police and will record everything if necessary.
My boss has become crazy and dangerous.
Now I think what to do next.
Also: one of managers treated badly my customer (this lady has mental problems due to her). They shouted at her and she was mocked. My boss has began to call people "idiots, carrots, Aspergers".
If I have mental problems, this has nothing to do with her, and that does not make a nothing.
Sorry for any mistakes.

You really need to to resign Selena you can't possibly work under such conditions.gif "(bear)")

I would have gone yesterday, if not my mother.
I don't know how to escape from this witch.
I have suicidal thoughts.
Selena, I don't know how we can make you see that you have to leave. If you are having suicidal thoughts then you have to do something about it. You HAVE to get help from the psch/mental health team and you have to leave....
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Thank you for your support.
It will be hard to find an official new job before New Year, but I can definitely look up (although have a little time).
Just might God give me strength because it has become impossible.
I would also like to share some of my feelings, inner battle.
I'm feeling sometimes lower in comparison with others because of my mental problems, of this strugle (not related to my work problems). Like I'm feeling guily because I'm unable to be like average persons and to overcome these horrible thoughts.
