does anyone work for their local council - need some job advice!

[locala]

I've recently started a job at my local council - was delighted when I got the job but I absolutely fucking hate it! I am on the verge of handing my notice in! it's already typed out and just needs the date adding!
I only work in admin - nothing fancy but I was wondering if councils have a thing where you can move to another department temporarily if they need an extra hand or something. I guess a bit like an internal agency type thing. I like working for the council but not the department I'm in and I don't actually want to leave the organisation but just the department if you see what I mean. I've looked online at their internal vacancies but in all of the 6m I've been here only seen 2 jobs both of which weren't relevant to me.

I know Im bumping an old thread but I am sharing my experiences of working at a council.
tldr, I handed in my notice due to a very toxic line manager, but also because the culture was quite weird vs places I have worked at in the past. I have done more pressure / higher paid roles than what I did there but oh boy, did it not prepare me for this.

Long version

Problems with the line manager could be summarised as:

1. aggressive towards me. 1st couple of months they would always be ciriticising my salary (I negotiated a higher salary but still within pay band) and keep making comments about my work - stuff like "at least you have shown it some love, or have done a half assed job". this became full on aggression to the point they were ghosting me in work and storming out of meetings / verbally refusing to give me any help whatsoever (also in writing but less rude).
2. making very interesting comments about myself, like saying I need to speak less intellectually with people at work during my 1st performance review before saying outright in the 2nd one that I should stop speaking with people at work, I shouldnt talk about my work with colleagues and to not seek advice from her line manager. She also said nobody liked working with me (which is interesting as people in the office would seek my advice over hers / generally chat with me, whereas nobody would speak to her, something you could tell peeved her off).
3. she was enjoying seeing me in pain / would deliberately schedule meetings where she would bad mouth me for times where I had to present / talk with stakeholders because she knew it would be detrimental for me. Once, she made me spend 2 hours sticking labels on books despite seeing I was limping, and she was grinning during the whole experience despite seeing I was struggling to walk.
4. she was lying quite a lot in performance reviews during probation to portray me in a negative light. She scheduled a review for my birthday and was sledging me quite badly, saying things which was very incorrect and would get very angry when I corrected her. Not only that but some of the things she said made me lose complete confidence in speaking with her managers as the things she said about them made it seem like they were untrustworthy (i.e. conversations I had with a senior 2 months before the review about a project where a service user I had encountered refused to acknowledge my attempts at helping them somehow got twisted into my line manager saying that I told the senior that nobody likes me because of my ethnicity, or that another senior manager who keeps making a joke about correctly pronouncing my name every time he sees me had in fact been deeply offended by the 1st time I corrected him about it and was very upset). Also made up a false allegation about not caring for people when I was telling colleagues a scenario where my mum gave some people we didnt like some 6 month old frozen chicken and I said if it was me, I would have used ghost chillies. Line manager overheard and was concerned and I said I dont care about it as if someone hurt me, they deserved it, and that I would eat their chicken instead as I have a high spice tolerance (which is true btw).
5. she skived work...a lot. There were many weeks in july I had noticed that she was bunking and working 25 hours a week but presenting it as 37-40 hours a week. Some days, she would only be in for 1 hour in a day. In contrast, she told me that I couldnt claim overtime and in fact wanted me to work 50+ hour weeks during 1 month and that I wouldnt be able to claim toil or flexi till the following month (as I found out, it was due to her planning some last minute holidays).
6. she refused to let me help people with things I had capacity for, wouldnt let me attend meetings with stakeholders (even giving me false dates about meetings and setting up meetings literally on the hour of the meeting). She also refused to help me with CPD as well.
7. in addition to lying about me, and the meeting policy of hers (ie do it for times I would be massively stressed and make me fail at work), she scheduled a formal review for a very short period of time. I spoke with my union about it and they said it would be time before they could help me. I relayed this in writing and in person to the line manager but instead she sends am email scheduling it for the following week saying that I agreed to do so (which is BS).
8. telling contents of performance reviews and 1:1 meetings to her old direct report who was working in another job in the department. Said direct report was always badmouthing my line manager (I wouldnt respond as it was blatant) and was always texting someone when badmouthing her / whenever I spoke with them (most likely the line manager). they would also mention certain phrases I would say in meetings at some point the following day or week and always looked a bit intimidated when trying to speak / approach me.

I think thats a summary of her but I wrote a detailed 11 page diary to Citizens advice bureau, who, along with quite a few other people, told me I should resign with immediate effect as it was quite clear she didnt like me at all and was trying to get me kicked before probation period was finished. I decided to take sick leave as I was quite exhausted (most likely heat exhaustion or working 61 hours over 6 consecutive days) and my GP was so appauled by this they gave me a 1 month sick note to try and find a way out from the job as they were mortified by it.

I handed in a resignation with immediate effect and, whilst a bit sad over it as I want to work with the council for some projects, I am glad I do not work for the council
