DH was in a middle management role (c60k so mid/ high) but was getting bullied by the his manager, taking credit for his work, rumours, jibes, constant negative feedback downplaying positive, basically actively trying to manage him out.
it broke him, I mean nervous wreck, had a break down. That got used against him and tried to force him out. After months he managed to secure another role in the same company and he’s just gone from strength to strength and it’s been so lovely to see. Nominated for an award, even still being new in that team and just found out he won! (I know it’s largely arbitrary but still) and today the bonuses revealed. His old boss tried to say he didn’t qualify for one ‘due to his attitude and performance’ but the new one is just so happy with how he is, they pushed back and he got the full bonus amount.
it’s not about the money, so I don’t want to seem like I’m bragging but his old manager did everything in his power to try and hurt DH, mentally, professionally and financially and I’m so glad it’s blown up in his face.
don’t really have anyone to say this irl too, aside from dh but I’m just so so glad there is some justice / karma in the universe. And by trying to hurt him, his ex boss actually benefited him In the long run.
