The problem actually stems from a bullying culture if you dig deep enough.

I've never cried at work, but I was taking care of some little bits left over from a large virtualisation project when the SAN threw a hissy fit. The root cause was **** all to do with me, but I was the only representative on-site and there was a moment when I very seriously considered simply packing up and leaving.

I went back into work after the weekend when my daughter nearly died 8 years ago. It was a shocking weekend.
