You can sit nice and clean in the warmth playing with your mouse rather than having your hand round the U bend.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Firstly....
116 123 (This is the number to dial for the Samaritans)
Secondly, calm down and think about the opportunity here. When there is a crisis there is always an opportunity for you to become a hero and to gain valuable experience. It is with this that you can step up to the plate and really show your worth as an employee. You are doing all the right things but I think there is some great advice on this forum from some experienced folk. You need to calm down and man up
However, if you want to quit cause the job got too tough then go for it.Comment

In your shoes I'd be spending most of my energy trying to find the next role then getting out ASAP. Leave the mess for them. It's not your problem.
I find it a sweet feeling - walking out of a nightmare. They're all stuck there stabbing each other in the back while you're revving off to the new gig.Comment
