Let's say I work in a resteraunt (I don't but don't want to put myself). I'm waiting staff, working closely with chefs. We need to work closely obviously but are on separate teams.
Two women in the kitchen have been persistently awful to me since I started. They whisper, roll eyes and constantly undermine my work and make it impossible to ask for help when our work requires us to work together.
I have complained to my direct manager about thus. I've been in tears crying, and suffered sleeping problems since. I know the women were told off for this. Since then the openly cruel behaviour has stopped, but the atmosphere has remained awful, and my work is still criticised and put down, often patronisingly.
I think the main reason I am no longer getting as hard atone is because they have started to pick on another member of staff instead.
My manager wants me to take my complaints higher, to the top boss and hr team. I'm worried to do this, as I think they will say that they are no longer rude to me (which from An outsiders view seems true). I am torn ; I don't want to mAke things harder, but I feel they need proper intervention. I don't feel good sitting by whilst they bully someone else, and I am being left alone instead.
So my Aibu is, am I being unreasonable to take my complaint about bullying further, even though it is currently improved??
