Going off sick?

[BlueOtter9]

To preface this. I’m in a management role that’s under constant scrutiny and I’m near enough burnt out and exhausted. My manager is just a b**ch there’s no other way to describe her and I work with 2 other women exactly like this. I have found that any stick they can find to beat me with. They will do so.

1. ive now resigned. I could no longer take the anxiety, shaking, palpitations at night and the knots in my stomach when I’d drive to work
2. One lady, let’s call her Jessica. Jessica is my manager. She micro manages me. I probably can’t even breathe correctly by her standards. Everything I do. She watches. Everything I ask my team to do. She corrects. She requests the most rediculous deadlines out of me. For example: your team haven’t completed x. Tell them to do it within an hour. I then tell the team. They don’t do it. I then do it for them. I tell her the deadlines too tight. She says it has to be done. I feel incompetent. I tell her she needs to be better at giving me notice. She says I need to be better at telling my team to do things correctly.
3. I have been made aware she tells my team to speak to her immediately if there’s any issues. So they all always over look me. I then end up looking stupid because I’ve missed information
4. a woman on my team forwards all the correspondence I have with her to my line manager and blind copies her into emails.
5. I get spoken to like a child. E.g “who told you to put this in place. See me asap please as this is important and we need to discuss” needless to say I have now stopped seeing her when she clicks her fingers as I am no longer wanting to deal with her.
6. everything I do isn’t good enough. So I could tick EVERY single box that she asks me to do. She’ll then say “yeah but did you do this” and it makes me want to cry because I try so hard and I just sometimes want a, “that was great. Thanks for sorting”
7. I’ve been asked to work with a very very experienced senior leader whose mannerism is so blunt and direct it makes me nervous. I meet with them twice a week. Last meeting I felt so anxious as there was a report I needed to do but my manager hadn’t explained properly what I had to do. So I sit there looking stupid, because I couldn’t do a certain section. The senior leader turns to me and said “blue otter I’m asking you have you read x document before or not” in the most patronising tone you can imagine.
8. Colleague In my dept also just keeps taking info to my line manager so she can berate me in meetings with it.
9. my line manager said the other day “oh you’re moving to x place. Me and the senior leader there go way back. We worked together at x many moons ago” it’s like I can’t escape her poison anywhere I run.
10. I am tried. Like. Really tired. I can’t face these people. I want to just get out and escape. I’m scared it’ll look unprofessional if I go off sick. I went off sick at my last place before I left there, I had an injury but they were not pleased and I’m very scared my manager could just think well she’s useless let me make life hard for her.

Id personally put in a grievance against your manager via HR. You can do this even if you've resigned. Collect and present any evidence you might have. And if you have an exit questionnaire, maybe be honest there. These people might have other grievances against them, so could be dealt with if the company has a slice of integrity.
