Name changed because this is outing.
I am registered blind. In my first job my manager was a horrible, bullying bitch. She made a point of singling me out because I have a disability.
She told me that because I was disabled I would never be promoted.
Told me that accepting a lift home from a colleague was in appropriate and I must never do it again.
Fed my guide dog Haribo.
Used to organise team lunches which were out of town meaning you had to drive there and then told me that because of this I wouldn’t be able to go. She told the rest of the team that I’d said I couldn’t go so no-one would offer me a lift.
Someone eventually reported her to the company’s equal opportunities officer who pulled her in for a chat. She went ballistic. Halled me into the office and demanded that I tell the equal ops officer that whoever had made the report was being malicious and if I didn’t she would have no choice but to start disciplinary proceedings against me. I’d been offered another job by then so I handed in my resignation and left within a month.
I was 21 then and a lot less confident, it was my first job, and as someone with a disability I knew that to rock the boat would have made things more difficult for me.
Anyway, three months later she left the company and went to work in a managerial position at a different company. Apparently most were actually glad to see the back of her because turns out she was a bitch to others as well.
Anyway after just three months working for the other company they had a re-structure and she was made redundant. And because she hadn’t been there long she got 0 redundancy. And then to top it all it turned out that her DH had got her sister pregnant. Oh how I laughed.
