I work for local government and recently, during my one to one with my line manager, she asked if I was ok as I didn't seem to be my usual happy self. I have been having problems with my husband and haven't been getting along for the last few months so I got a bit upset and told her some personal information as she seemed quite understanding and caring. I assumed this would be between the two of us and wouldn't go any further. A couple of weeks after this I was off sick for a couple of days with the flu and when I returned to work had to have a meeting with the boss above her to explain my absence. My line manager was also in the meeting. I was upset to be asked about my problems at home and it was obvious my manager had divulged our conversation. This has really upset me as I had thought information shared in our one to one was confidential and the higher manager doesn't like me and has now got information against me. Is there anything I can do? I was going to ask HR but they are all for the managers not the employees and I may be mis informed.
