I'm in a much happier place now thank goodness but my time there led to a monumental breakdown and my mental health was awful. I was suicidal.
In a family run organisation with less than 8 employees. Basically I got sent home more than once because I disagreed with the ceo having us come in to work during covid rather than wfh and put our lives at risk. She insisted it was an essential service we provided but it was services that could easily be done by telephone and online. The woman also admitted she was doing this so other similar organisations didn't look poorly upon her organisation. She also decided to increase the number of clients we were seeing at the height of the pandemic. So all this because I dared to disagree.
Once I was working from home, I was left wfh for a month without an invitation to the weekly meeting until the very end. I was literally ignored by her, so isolated by her and my manager (her son) and when I requested access to the server she refused, telling me I didn't need it. She said I wasn't to contact any of the people I worked closely with and I was sent a list of tasks everyday. Not by her or my manager because they ignored me, but by another colleague. Everything that was said in my probation was awful. That I was doing an awful job basically. They passed my probation though on extension!!!
It affected my self esteem massively and I wish I had filed a grievance. The best thing I ever did was to move on. I still feel bitter though that they made me feel like this. I'm always second guessing myself in my current job and my confidence is sometimes really low. My management tram couldn't be more supportive though.
Sometimes I think maybe it was me but was there any need to treat me like this?
