Those who raised serious grievances against managers, what was the outcome?

[Quirkyme]

I know that plenty of people raise grievances against managers. However, I mostly hear of the managers getting a little slap on the wrist and eventually the person who raised the grievance leaves.

Have you ever raised a serious grievance against a manager, like I mean, the grievance being hugely incriminating beyond belief? What was the outcome?

I’ve reported my bullying manager this week regarding committing multiple data breaches sharing my personal employment information on an open platform, and I’m in the process of writing a grievance including that and many other events. When I’m going through the incidents and evidence now, basically reliving it all… I honestly can’t believe what’s occurred, it’s so shocking it’s unreal.

I’m not sure what will come of it all.

Have you been in a similar situation? What was the outcome? Were they moved suspended/sacked? Or did it have any bearing on their future employment/promotions?

Did you receive "justice" or a result you were happy with or did you have to escalate it via tribunal/lawsuit?

This was LA too.

Also, you've clearly not heard the old adage about being careful about the way you treat people on the way up because you don't know who you'll meet on the way down.

Not all underlings remain underlings...

Bit of a late post but here is the gist of it on my end:
Raised a grievance against a duty manager because even though I had a doctors note saying that I could sit down when needed, (I still have Plantar Fasciitis after working retail for over a year) she wouldn't let me sit down or tell me to go and do something when she saw me sitting down. Raised a grievance in early April; went to give my statement in early May (General manager was messing around with it)

Any who; had to go on sick leave at the beginning of June because on the way back from giving my statement at head office I had an accident on the way into work and ended up with a grade 2 ankle sprain. I was off for two weeks and then tried to get through the pain for a week and couldn't take it anymore so went on sick leave as it was also making my Plantar problem worse.

July rolls around, still on sick leave and I get a letter in the post from the person who chaired the meeting where I had to give my statement. He got a statement from the Duty Manager as well. Even though I provided witnesses, there was no indication of such in the report. Essentially boiled down to a "she said, she said" situation so it was dismissed.

I get back to work in the beginning of September (new GM has taken over the store) had to explain everything in a very last minute "return to work" interview and thought that was the end of it.

Last shift of the week, I start my shift early because I had nothing else to do and it got a bit busy. Went upstairs to get the keys I needed for my shift and I suddenly get pulled into a meeting by the GM.

More or less got made to apologise to the Duty Manager for talking about her to other people (it wasn't any name calling or anything malicious; it was just me venting because the issues had gone on for so long and I guess I vented to the wrong person who went to tell management) and made to apologise for the reasons behind my grievance. Duty Manager didn't apologise on her end even though I told her what my reasoning was, and the GM didn't make her apologise.

I had another 5 hours of my shift left and had to come in the next two days after. I was so depressed after leaving that office I didn't want to eat anything (had to force myself to eat because I would've regretted it later) and I didn't want to be there because I didn't know who I could trust.

Next day, another Duty Manager who was always nice to me since she got Supervisor noticed that I wasn't alright and asked if I was okay. Filled her in a few days later as she knew I had a problem with the other Duty Manager anyway.

Ended up handing in my notice two weeks after that meeting because I was just emotionally done with the place and the job.

Still upsets me two months later of how the whole situation was handled. It took me a week or so to work it out in my head about who snitched on me to management but I didn't trust anyone the same way after that.

Sorry, this turned into a venting session. For anyone reading this in the future; only raise a grievance if you have solid evidence and the workplace isn't full of favouritism. Still probably less stressful to find another job and wish everyone else luck in dealing with the issues themselves.
