Tarot reading has worried me

Nannan2 It is only the Tarot reader who implies the blonde woman is on the side of the manager - and she is HR, not PR, that is, Human Resources, which used to be called Personnel. It is her job to deal employees' problems, so she is supposed to be helping her get training and so on.

Just concentrate on doing your job instead of worrying about the tarot cards . What will be will be . If you give the the job one hundred percent , there nothing else you can do .

Do you consult a Tarot reading expecting the reader to only tell you the good things?
This person has done you a favour by warning you of something which MAY happen. Stop worrying and try to do something to prevent it happening.
It does sound, though, as if you are unhappy in your workplace. Perhaps making a fresh start elsewhere would be a good decision?

Tarot readers and fortune tellers are bloodsuckers preying on the credulous! Don't have anything to do with them. They can no more tell the future than anyone else as Absent's hilarious account illustrates! You sound like an anxious person who has little confidence in herself. You could ask your doctor to refer you to a therapist for some Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to help you negotiate the usual vicissitudes of life.

Goldenage That is what I was going to suggest too. A reputable preferably recommended counsellor who could give you skills to increase your confidence.

Don't take this tosh seriously - it's used to financially exploit and/or control others.

Stop.It.Now.

Google cold reading, it will give you information on how these con people do it.

Honestly - are you seriously giving this tarot reader the time of day? There is. I thing whatsoever scientific about this practice whatever your beliefs might be - you are wasting money and would be much better off spending it with a counsellor or psychotherapist who would be able to help you explore your own personality and put you in a better place in terms of your work relationships - I know people will call me judgemental but there is nothing at all in tarot reading other than people praying on the fears of others and getting paid for it and please remember that this person has lots of information about you from previous readings when you have disclosed - please see someone who is trained in psychology/counselling and your own self-esteem will have a chance of improving.

A load of stupid nonsense
You are responsible for your actions
This influence is inhealthy
They make money out of you
A load of old bull
From bits of card with weird pictures
Superstisious nonsense
Get out more
Take a brisk walk
Hug a tree
Help others less fortunate
Volunteer in a homeless shelter
Live real life instead of going down these pointless rabbit holes
It is not making you happy
So why go and see them

Elegran,the blonde PR woman wont help her,shes helping the manager! I wonder if theres a head office or CEO though where a complaint from all the others can be put in about the bullying boss and the HR woman? Take no notice of tarot reader,our luck is down to us! Dont go to him again!

Also you could try and make Stockholm Syndrome work for you. See if you can't strike up some sort of rapport with the people who might cause you trouble. Show sympathy for her cold, look up and take interest when they talk to each other in your presence and smile readily at their feeble jokes etc. Pretend you like them.

Absolutely agree with *Ginny42

If you're really worried that there's a hidden agenda, keep a diary of all communication with your manager and the HR person. What they said and how you responded. If it becomes necessary, it's best to be able to produce chapter and verse with dates, rather than a vague 'I remember once you said...'*

Doing that is imperative if you think you might be in a dodgy situation, regardless of any tarot reading! Keep a diary .... and make sure you have an excellent paper trail as per Eglantine21

Tarot cards are open to interpretation and can be read in more ways than one - give the same cards to more than one person and they will see something different.
I have been in a similar situation to you at work . You often find that the people concerned that are in a higher position than yourself , have their own hidden agenda, so whatever you do, as far as they are concerned, you won't win.
However there may be a way around them - keep a diary, keep asking about training that you need and ask for support from your colleagues. Any meetings that you have, try and record them on your phone or make notes and double check your copy of the minutes that will have been taken - I found that just by changing a few words, the manager concerned, who also typed up the minutes, completely changed what had actually been said at the meeting! Ask if there is someone else in HR that you can see and discuss the lack of training etc with. Join the union and make sure that a rep is with you at all future meetings with the manager/HR.
When all is said and done, do you really want to work at a place where you are not given the help and support that should be given ? You may well find that moving to a different department may be the best thing.

Clairvoyance and other psychic means are meant to be taken as warnings, not irreversible fate. Now you have been warned of what might happen, you can be on watch and take precautions. For example think of what might be said to trip you up and think up your best response. I wish you all the best!

Exactly!!

Ineedamum I use Tarot cards but they are not the be all and end all, as we often change things we do in life, please don't pay any attention to this reading as you could go to another reader and get a completely different reading! Personally I would not go back to her, as she has you worried and that is wrong on so many levels!! Sending you hugs XXX

You can turn this around love! Believe in yourself, interact in work more, try a little harder and even approach someone for help if you are struggling. Don't have anymore readings if it is going to worry you like this. If your manager is not helpful approach someone in a different department. Failing that there is always the grievance procedure if you think you are mistreated. Good luck

I'm glad to read that you are taking notes. Write out a diary, times and what this horrible boss says and does. It will be invaluable in the future. Stay away from the tarot cards and try and be strong. Sending you virtual Hugs. Xx

Forget the tarot. It’s just bits of card with pictures. Someone just like you and me made them up.

But on the tack of taking notes. Don’t just record the difficulties. If he says it will take twelve months to understand the job or stuff like that record that: when, where, what he actually said as accurately as possible.

If he says he is reasonably satisfied with something record that and send him a brief email thanking him.

Put your request for training in writing. If you do any independent training tell him so in an email.

When he gives you a task confirm it with a memo.

I can’t stress how important it is to have a paper trail.

We all worry about the future but nobody , not even tarot readers, can tell you what it holds?

And you know, you MIGHT lose your job. You are on probation and it might be unlucky timing as management may be proving theyre tightening their belt at the end of the financial year after overspends (May is always gonna be a safe bet for work troubles for that reason. People on temporary contracts always have trouble at my work in the last quarter) And last in last out. But its not a foregone conclusion.

Your performance cannot be tip top of you have this imagined deadline of May at the back of your mind after seeing this person. Try to see it for what it is: they gained enough info from you to know that your job is currently stressful and insecure. Thats all.

When people fixate on psychic predictions they make them come true.

You let more slip than you realise. People have "tells" and psychic readers are often super attuned to body language etc.

They read you as they speak:
"There is a blond lady....."
now they read whether you assiciate the word "blond lady" with comfort/friendship, fear/anger, or grief. Before continuing depending on your "tell":
If your tell was friendship/comfort: "she is the only one you can trust/confide in and will help you when times get tough"
Fear/anger: "she will be complicit in a bad thing that will happen to you"
Grief: "she is guiding you and watching over you and wants you to know that things have a way of working out in the end, even if its tough in the short run"

I was wondering how much this tarot card reader was costing you per visit? It’s certainly costing your peace of mind.

It`s all bulls..t.
You will make yourself ill with worry and that could cause you to loose your job.
Life is what you make it not by stupid readings.

I would avoid anything like tarot cards.
they are really rubbish .

They they are probably designed to get people anxious so other people could decide to try and buy things to ward off other things.

No one can predict the future - surely if they could, they would all be predicting the winning lottery numbers. Your tarot reader is irresponsible and should not be worrying you with tales of woe. I wouldn't believe a word he says - it is just entertainment, how could your life possibly be predicted by choosing a picture card?
