Bear with me please, I need to get as much as possible down. Sorry if I drip feed, or if the thread is disjointed in parts.
I have previously posted about a colleague ‘J’ about her bullying towards me in the dept (A) where we worked. The bullying incidents included isolating me from others, telling lies about me, and undermining my work. Name changed since then.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, dept A closed in the summer. It was sad as I loved the job despite ‘J’s bullying.
After dept A closed, we had to work together in a different dept and again I was subjected to ‘J’s bullying. I asked my supervisor about the possibility of me working in a different dept (B) ,which was agreed mutually, and it became common knowledge that I was to move there on return from annual leave.
On my return, I found ‘J’ had been given the job in dept B instead. Gobsmacked wasn't the word.
‘J’ then gloated to the rest of our colleagues that while I was away, she had been offered a job (the same as dept A but in a different hospital within the Trust), but turned it down due to commuting issues and homed in on the job that she knew was for me.
A few days later, I was offered the same job that she turned down and I accepted immediately. Away from her, different hospital, a job I love. I could finally be myself again. I was delighted. (Hope its not too complicated up to now. Sorry if it is.)
Unfortunately, ‘J’ has confided in mutual colleagues/friends recently that she hates the job in dept B after all(!), and wishes she’d accepted the job in dept A (the one I’m now in). She then proceeded to say nasty things about me before our colleagues put a stop to it.
Since this, people have been ringing the dept I’m in, asking for ‘J’, and seeming a little surprised to find that she doesn’t work in our dept. She had been giving out our number saying she worked there. Also, the phone has been slammed down on me on a few occasions when I answer it and introduce myself.
I feel harassed. Not sure whether to tell my new line manager, or leave it, as I’m not sure if she’s just ‘letting me know she is still around’ or after my job (which she has form for, obviously). Wwyd?
Been in Dept A since August and I don’t want to rock the boat with my managers, but I want her to leave me alone.
Sorry again if the thread is a bit confusing....:/
