Thats it really.

Long story which I won't bore those of you that don't know about it with.

Went to final meeting with service head and HR bod and basically they said was not to discuss anything other than my returning to work and what I wanted.

I said this was not fair - I was incensed by the lies in the report and wanted that investigating. They said no - as my initial complaint was reinvestigated by an outside employee and they found that my complaint had no grounds then that was the end of the process.

So basically the lies which surfaced in the interviews of rasict lady and the horrid bitter, jealous bitch lady will not be looked into as they came under the heading of the initial investigation which is now closed.

I had a bit of a meltdown and said that that was utterly unfair. I had been accused of accessing medical notes of children 'I know' (I do not know any children with access to our service), accessing HR records of colleagues and sharing their increment levels with horrid lady (I am backed up by HR (the financial, records part of HR that deals with that side of things) that I would not even have access to that information). I also brought up the 'file note' which mentions my pregnancy dated and signed by nasty racist lady before I was even pregnant. I said if what they were saying is true then I should be fired and if it isn't it does back up my claim of victimisation.

Apparently as these allegations were not made formal then I shouldn;t be at all bothered by them.

The Service Head was completely unmoved, said if I was so upset she would look into it informally but that is as far as she will let it go and apparently she has the right to decide whether something is investigated or not.

So now I think it is time to just leave, wait until the time comes that I have to tell them whether I am going back or not and tell them that I am not. They actually said my work place was the office where the 2 women work and they thought I would be happy to go back there. They were shocked when I said I would find jumping under a train preferable.

All I am now bothered about is getting the lies removed from my HR file. I will never need to ask these people for a reference but I am not having such serious things said about me and it lying there for anyone to read if they have access.

Thats it really.

Makes me wonder why I bloody stood up for myself in the first place.

Thank you for all of your help and support though lively mumsnetters.

Thank you.

I immediately think when people mention privatising the nhs that it would be a good thing. People would start having to be accountable for their actions.

You know a couple if really really serious things happened at work that seriously compromised patient safety and when I asked HR Manager why no one was held to account she said because next time people do something they wrong they won't admit it if they are chastised in any way for anything.

Mc I'm sorry to hear your story. Other stuff I hear about the NHS drives me nuts. A bit of proper management and accountability (and firing) would do it a big favour.

I knew it would be NHS as soon as I read your OP. They truly have the most toxic management in the land & lying about people seems perfectly acceptable. Even being caught out lying in writing seems acceptable to that bunch of buffoons.

If you can cut free & move on I would tbh. If you leave could you look at constructive dismissal or going to the papers? I have no idea as I don't knkw your full story but I think you can get nowhere within the NHS as they just lie & cover up - you may get somewhere outside as usually they've very blatently tried to cover up their incompetences.

Madamecastafiore · 05/06/2014 16:31

Yep good old NHS.

I am going to cut and run but want to make sure the lies do not remain on my personnel file.

I still just find it unbelievable that I can prove the lies and falsification of documents submitted for an investigation and they are not interested????

Give me a banker as a boss any day. People may hate them but if I had gone to them with the racism I had to listen to they would have actually done something about it.

This happened to my mum. (She's a nurse who whistleblew about patient safety, so quite obviously was then subjected to bullying). She wrote to the head of trust if I recall correctly insisting the lies were removed. But yes it wasn't easy. NHS management is a whole different scale of toxic

Also knew it would be NHS. The HR culture is ridiculous.

FrontForward · 05/06/2014 22:17

Madame. I really sorry you are in this situation. It must feel very unfair and upsetting.
