I work for the NHS in a community based role which involves a lot of driving from my office to patients homes - district nursing type of role. I've been in this role for 15 years with no issues directly with me but as a whole there have been team issues with a member of staff of a lesser grade engaging in intimidating behaviour towards other colleagues. Largely I had escaped her clutches as I don't in general get involved with the team bitchiness and keep to myself, get in with the job. All of my appraisals have always stated how I'm a good team member and up to date with my work.
Several weeks ago this lady had a run in with me over something minor she accused me of not following process in filing forms (she's admin) I called her out and said it was a simple error, easily fixed, and when did she become my line manager?
Since then she has tortured me and my manager is afraid of her so stays on her side. I did make my manager aware that how she speaks on the team floor lowers morale but this was ignored.
Recently I was called into a meeting with my manager who told me I was being investigated for 'misuse of my time and being on unauthorised leave over the summer while she was on leave' two dates were cited - both of these dates had been signed off by my manager in May and she signed them off. I put this to her and she stated when she receives an allegation she has to investigate. I told her ok but now that the matter was cleared up was that it dropped and she said no, that hr were being informed. I asked why, and she said hr would want it noted on my record? I told her I had my evidence of my leave sheet and it felt a bit off and that I knew who had made this up cos there was only one person on the team who would do that but I did say I felt a bit like a witch hunt.
I'm looking out now and as much as l love my job and how it fits in with my family, I hate how I have been treated and made to look as if I was some sort of criminal taking off without asking.
Should I just wait for outcome of HR and is it time to move on?
