Well today I called my boss a c**t, walked out of the office and drove home. I guess this is going to be bad for my career.

Oh, Dear!

talk about 'burning bridges'!!!  :-o

I do understand your frustration. really. I HATE working near jackasses.

Just don't put yourself in a position where you may say or do something you will regret.

When I met people I dispised, I just never spoke to them.

If such people want to insist you talk to them, just say you won't do something that could hurt you.

It really is better to just leave.

I really don't care. They can sack me if they want. I might get away with it since I think they might be causing me to have some kind of breakdown.

Perhaps you should have gone for the subtle approach?

That wasn't such a good move, Moto.
If your job was so unpleasant that you could call your boss that c word and then walk out, it wasn't a job worth holding onto. You should have resigned and kept things as amicable as you can. You're going to move into the health sector and there's no telling what sort of references and previous employers they are going to check. It's not worth the risk that this dude says something at a later date that comes back to bite your arse. You need to manoeuvre carefully. Take note of the following:

1) When you work in a hospital, you are subject to intense scrutiny. If you have even the slightest smudge on your record you probably won't get hired. This means previous employment AND the criminal background checks.

2) The Trust (as an employer) is not sympathetic when it comes to you justifying poor conduct by insinuations that your actions were as a result of a breakdown. That's a double failure: the conduct and the admission of a critical weakness. Regardless of how these guys have treated you, you can't behave like that and expect to get sympathy from a prospective employer.

3) You absolutely positively CANNOT pull a stunt like that in a hospital. You'll have a very short career. Trust me, there is a lot of stress in a job such as the one you want to do. A future employer will look at this and ask whether it is worth training you for 3 or 4 years if you have this volatile nature.

See what I mean? You may well have legitimate claims against your boss and company, but failure to follow proper procedure is a greater evil in the eyes of the prospective employer, than the events that lead you to walk out.
Sometimes you do have to put up with crap, or gracefully ditch it and start something else.
What you did was an own goal.

Then you need to go to your GP asap and get signed off for stress.  Just to be safe.

I can patch things up with the boss. We're friends outside of work and have known each other for a long time so that's not a problem. Though at this stage I'm so low that my future career is the last thing on my mind.

That's a good thing, I just hope he understands.

You seriously need to get off work due to stress.  If you quit due to stress then you can sign on incapacity.

He will understand. We're good mates. I've already apologised by email but I'll talk to him tomorrow. Getting off work would help but there are loads of other things stressing me out. Unfortunately I'm starting to cave in rather than rise above it.

@X-Ray
I'm fully expecting my new career to be stressful. Work-related stress isn't an issue for me. In fact I thrive on stressful work. But being treated like a second-class employee (along with the rest of the team) is just getting too much. Add to this all the stuff outside of work and I'm on the verge of cracking.

I had a long chat with my boss who said that if anybody approached him for a reference he would have nothing but good things to say. I feel like somebody has just stepped off of my chest.

Glad to hear it Moto.  I was a little worried for you there (as I'm sure everyone else was).

Do you have to work your notice?

I was worrying about myself too. Now I can concentrate on sorting my *real* problems out without worrying about work! I do have to work my notice but it's bearable knowing I will be out of here in 4 weeks.

Thanks all for the support. I love you guys  ;-)

@Moto

Congratulations mate!

Something tells me I might not be a million miles away from doing that myself...
