I don’t want to be too outing and cause trouble but anyway I fought for months for my manager to take me seriously when asking for support in regards to a small part of my work (regarding my mental health it suffered and that’s why I asked for help).
I was still doing the job required even without the support and if introduced it wouldn’t have impacted that or made more work for others. In fact for a long time they made the task more difficult for me.
It upset me greatly, it ate away at me into my life outside work and I felt worthless. I was very honest about this to my manager (always in private as have other members of the team literally shouting in meetings) and now my end of year performance has been severely downgraded as I in their opinion hadn’t acted professionally.
What they don’t consider is how they acted and they purposely didn’t give me any help for months despite begging them and I reached breaking point because I’m a human being. Only then did they actually support me.
They are a big company, so many others in team have a massive amount of support (including the exact support I asked for) and they are huge advocates of mental health awareness.
