My manager is giving me such a hard time. She hasn't liked me from the start and made that very clear. She is now very obviously trying to manage me out. I am at higher management level and she treats me like an office junior. I am 15 years her junior age-wise if that makes any difference.

I am struggling so much.

I am good at my job. I think I'm going to have to move on for the sake of my mental health.

I'm in the process of challenging all of this but don't see it going anywhere.

Op unless you have been there for a serious amount of time that makes redundancy payments worth it, look for another job.

Better to look while you still have a job, or alternatively go off with stress and use the time to job hunt.

Thank you. I don't meet the criteria for length of service to claim unfair dismissal etc. I think leaving is my only option. I've worked so hard to get to this position. It feels so unfair.

Op been there got the t-shirt. I've never quite forgive the B who made my life hell. I don't know why I didn't fit but I didn't, moving on was the best thing I did.

And yes I did end up at my GP because I was stressed out, he signed me off for two weeks - is that enough time to find another job? - couple of interviews and I had a job sorted in that two weeks.

Very important that you make a time line and keep notes of everything. Screen shots of everything.

Join a union or check whether you have legal insurance. Familiarize yourself with any company bullying policies. If you get invited into formal meetings, exercise your right to be accompanied.

If you are struggling to the point that you are on the verve of walking out, tell your doctor. Get signed off for a month and use the time to recover and then job hunt. Be honest with HR on return to work and consider asking for monitored phased return. Improvement plans should be detailed and specific - legitimate 'managing out' is a lot harder than managers think.

If in doubt, call Acas - they give great advice, uncharged.
