New manager

I work in a field that is in the news most days.

We have a new manager who was great at first but daily we are getting awful emails that seem to read as though she is speaking down to us and we're all stupid and beneath her. Since she started we are treated like kids. Can't sit where we normally sit etc. We're being told what seats to sit in for how long for etc then we swap with someone else. She will talk about other staff members act like she's friends with us but when she's not with us there's a completely different side.

Today we get an email saying "we are the reason the Gps are getting bad press" now we are strictly told what we can & can't do and not once have we been told to start booking F2f appts. Other wise we would as it's easier for us to do this instead of getting the abuse we do. Throughout COVID admin staff have said the GPS haven't done enough in our opinion and have left patients needs out and not really cared if they need to see a gp or not.

It's getting to the point now where I dread checking my emails. None of us know who to turn to. And to scared to say anything because we know it will be spoke about and laughed about.

Why do you have to swap seats? What a ridiculous notion. I have my desk at work super clean and everything in the right place, right height etc I would never swap unless I was given 20 mins or so to clean the new desk and set it up exactly as needed to avoid back pain/eye strain etc. We also do risk assessments regularly to make sure our desk Is set up correctly so we can't just hot desk. She sounds like she's on a power trip. I'd talk to her personally and say XYZ (stupid ideas like swapping seats) need to stop, are you aware of the tone of your emails (some people are oblivious) and just talk to her like an adult and see what happens.

Oh and go above her head if needed. Especially if you all feel the same but don't feel you want to speak to her directly. This is adult life not the school playground.
