Managed out

[Trix1]

I am getting a bit of a rough deal at work lately from my boss, my colleugue said that in her opinion and from what she has seen my does not like me and is trying to manage me out, I never really thought of this but now she has got me wondering.

What exactly is being 'managed out'?

I assume it means giving you a rough deal so you end up handing in your notice and leaving. That way, even if they have no reason to sack you, they still manage to get rid of you.

Sometimes it can mean working totally to the rule book to catch you out/make life difficult for you but "within the rules" or giving you enough rope to metaphorically hang yourself.

QV, It does sound very much like how you have described, whilst others I work with do not get picked up for the same things, when I have said this I have been told "we are talking about you not about any one else!"

Never bodes well to make examples of your colleagues but that aside - you need to keep records and dates and times of incidents etc in case they are doing this and you do end up leaving one way or another. You may then, if you have enough "evidence" go to tribunal.

Can you think of any reason why you are being treated in this way? Have you made a complaint in the past about a work issue or anything,or have you ever raised a grievance? There are certain circumstances in which if you are "victimised" for having raised certain issues (e.g. health & safety; something called a "protected disclosure"; if it's related to unlawful discrimination and other circumstances) you get some extra employment law protection. This area is pretty complicated though, so keeping a record at this stage is probably your best bet, as QV has suggested.

Also contact your union, if you have one. It's pretty unpleasant - consists of making someone's working life so miserable they resign.

Being managed out sounds like management speak for constructive dismissal to me. Definitley a diary job, like QV says.
