DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER making a small mistake at work, I was demoted.<\/p>\n
Since then I\u2019ve been treated so badly that I\u2019ve started to feel suicidal.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a 42-year-old man and have always taken pride in my job, and given it my all. But I inputted some data wrongly, which was costly for the company.<\/p>\n
I admitted my mistake but for months, while the company investigated it, I lived under the threat of dismissal.<\/p>\n
Eventually, they decided to give me another job instead, one which pays less and is beneath my capabilities.<\/p>\n
Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.<\/p>\n

I had no choice but to accept it. I\u2019ve lost all my confidence, can\u2019t sleep and am struggling to function.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve had no support from anyone, including HR. They just sided with my manager.<\/p>\n
So I\u2019ve realised the company doesn\u2019t care about me, despite my years service. It feels like my whole life is unravelling.<\/p>\n
