Dh got a new job 6 months ago, quite a big promotion in a new company. He was working on the same level as this woman (we'll call her S). Their boss was P who basically headhunted dh. Dh by all accounts made a great start there, sorted out quite a few problems but he could tell quite early on that S had a problem with him. He tried to sort it all out but she's one of these people who'd rather sulk and be funny and moody than bring things out in the open and she resented dh's 'attitude'. Think also she's a bit miffed that dh hasn't fallen at her feet (she's all tit job and botox) and she's said to a number of staff that she finds him aloof and arrogant. blah blah blah...
Dh had only been there 4m when P announced she was leaving for another job. Dh was a bit dismayed but felt confident enough to carry on. P's job was up for grabs but dh decided he didn't want it as it would be loads more hassle and admin, and he prefers the practical side of the job. He told the big bosses he wouldn't be applying but S did and has been given the job on a 3 month trial basis. She's made it quite difficult for dh straight away, mainly by not communicating with him and he has to find out what's going on through other people. When he complained about this to her, she took him to the big boss as a grievance and inferred that he's jealous he didn't get the promotion and is being obstructive to her.
6 weeks ago P got in touch with dh and offered him another job with her new company - same role, same pay and much nearer to home for him which would be better for us as a family. he went of the new job, got it and handed his notice in 2 weeks ago. happy days

... but since then S has gone out her way to make him feel marginalised, even though he's got 2 more weeks to go. e.g. she cancelled his appraisal (the results of which he could have taken to his new job) and also concelled a course he was due to go on (again, which would be useful but i spose i can see her reasoning as far as cost goes); she's put him down for all the late shifts and even some very menial jobs within these shifts (jobs that get paid £8K when he's on £30K!!!). She will NOT talk to him at all now other than to say good morning when he initiates it. She's taken to locking all the offices he should have access to with the excuse that she thought 'someone had been rifling through her files'. On a poster up in the foyer is everyone's name and role in the team (the usual corporate bollocks!) Two people who are also leaving at the same time as dh are on that list but his names' been left off!! Best thing of all is that there's a tv in their coffee room and dh checks the teletext when he's in there to check the cricket scores. A few days ago the remote control went missing, so that the tv channels could all be watched but teletext can't be accessed. Dh was sorting out something in one of the big storeroom the other day and found the remote control in a box!! He;s not sure whether he's now being paranoid but I think it's just the petty sport of thing she'd do - so he's hidden it somewhere else now, which will drive her mental!!
She also acts like this to a few other members of staff but because dh is only one step down from her and is male i think she feels it doesn't constitute bullying, and with the others she cat like this because she thinks that's what bosses do. It's getting him down but he figures he's only got 2 weeks left. However, I think he ought to write everything down that she's doing which is unprofessional/unco-operative/obstructive and then on his last day lodge an official complaint in writing. Nothing will come of it of course, but at least it will draw attention to her bad management and she might not get the permanent job.
or am i just a petty bitch like her???!!!
