I have been working in a bank for almost a year. It has been by far the worst experience of my life, I have encountered racism, victimisation, harsh and unfair criticism and double standards apply to me and not my colleagues. It is apparent to everyone apart from management!
I was put on a Action Contract, after ten months even though my probabation period was due at 6 months. This was due to their lack of organisation.
Ever since I have worked there I have become ill, I can't sleep, I frequently vomit am dizzy and have lost weight.
Last week my father who is abroad had a heart attack and I immediately left to visit him as I am his only family. I immediately emailed work and explained the situation, followed up by a call where I left message (due to time difference). I am in hospital nearly 12 hours and am staying with friends and haven't taken my mobile. I opened my email account a couple of days ago and found maybe 20 threatening emails from my boss and his boss. I spoke to my mum in London and she said that they had sent letters, and bombarded my mobile with calls. My mum had spoken to them to say I haven't taken my phone and that I am not very well myself. I today find out they have come to my house. In every correspondence they have put you must call us regardless of time or day. I am not in a position where I feel comfortable talking to them, especially as I am so emotional at the moment.
I want to resign and would like not to talk to them as I know they will be childish as usual and start screaming and shouting. Which is the last thing I need at the moment. Is it OK to send an email or registered post, a resignation letter. Or should I call and take their abuse to finish by saying I resign. I have tried to be as neutral as possible and want to leave on nice terms.
