I need help!
Long story but here goes
Back in January I had a work incident which saw me off and on from my job as supervisor.
My work colleagues didn't like me much because I made them work harder as they were slack in their job which I had been warned of prior to taking on the role.
Due to my absence, the workers and the meddling client got together and started shit including false accusations and targeting towards me which was over heard by other parties.
I lodged a formal grievance as per regulations and instead of mediation I was stepped down as supervisor.
I also live remote, so that means I am not entitled to my housing for my family of 5.
We simply cannot pack up and leave, we don't have the money for that...
I have since developed severe depression and aniexity from all of this. I can't leave my house due to fear of seeing the other work colleagues.
I was never told I was doing a bad job, counselled or anything else. I feel so bad.
Just need kind words from other IM's because I'm scared what I might do. Have tried to reach out but being remote is hard.
Just feel like dying right now. I feel like I have let down my family.

This is not your fault! Unfortunately there are childish bullies out there that get great pleasure out of others misfortune. Don't let this incident define you. Hold your head up high knowing you are a good person.
A similar thing recently happened to my mum, she sued for unfair dismissal and won. It didn't get her job back but at least some piece of mind that the company didn't get away with what they did and was paid a decent sum of compensation. If you feel you have grounds to go down that path you should fight for it.
Please keep your head up, you know and the people who care about you know that you did nothing wrong and that's all that matters, I know it's hard to not be affected by what's happened but you really just need to keep your head up and not let these people feel that they have won.
