Work and nightmare colleague

[AmBeyondMyself]

A colleague made horrendous allegations about me and I was investigated. Of course the allegations were lies and my counter grievance of harassment and bullying was upheld.

The company has done nothing. They will not provide me with the details of the allegations, the 'proof' provided, the measures they took to investigate or why they investigated me on the word of someone who has history of lying.

For example the police should have been informed given the nature of some of the allegations (causing physical harm to the person concerned and to others) but they cannot give me details of police involvement. I've been told not to speak about matters and over two years on, people still view me with suspicion.

The behaviour has just carried on but the colleague is just more underhand. Management have ignored me. I have been told to just deal with it.

I've escalated matters but HR seem to be stalling in the hope that it will all go away. The colleague has not been disciplined. Company policy states that my colleague has committed several sackable offences. The Union Rep has been useless.

The injustice that I feel is huge and to me it isn't fair they can get away with this without any repercussions at all.

Is an harassment order an option? If not, what can I do?

I am deeply unhappy and have severe anxiety every day I go to work with this person. Another job is not an option for me.

Can anyone help? Please?

When you say another job is not an option what do you mean?

Has anything else occured in the two years since this happened?

Other job not an option due to my location. I also care for a family member and the hours fit well. I cannot afford to leave.

Constant bullying in the form of belittling, intimidation, screaming, interfering with my work. badmouthing to colleagues and contractors.

The company is burying their head in the sand and will not deal with it. Managers and HR know it is ongoing but have been spectacularly unhelpful. I've followed reporting procedures but they are employing all sorts of delaying tactics and the union rep is going along with it due to their own relationship with management.

I'm at the end of my rope.

HR are there to serve managers, not you sadly. Can you try again with your union? Why are they so useless?

Is this person above you or the same position as you?

Could you be moved away from them so you dobt gave overlapping work?

Sounds to me as though management atent going to back you so the choice is leave or put up and shut up. Doesn't make it right but unfortunately without the union on your side you're on you're own.

They are the same as me, they have just been there longer.

There is no chance of a move unfortunately.

I have been sucking it up for years. I just wondered if there was anything I could do legally, whether it be the individual or the company,

The union rep is waiting for a promotion - hence the reluctance to rock the boat.

I know HR are all about the company and not those affected. They have made that abundantly clear. They agree the person has acted terribly - they just will not do anything due to staffing issues - we have been short staffed for years.

The trouble is I don't think they can tell you the allegations. They are satisfied they're false.

Could your manager be persuaded to separate your work from this persons so they cant interfere? Tbh it doesn't sound a big enough problem on paper to deal with. Obviously to you though it is.
