Having a very difficult time right now.
Ive been accused of bullying at work. By the woman who called me a liar about my autism and constantly ignores me when i try to speak to her.
We work in a nursery in a baby room and some of the examples my manager gave of my apparent bullying were...
Answering a question. (Deputy manager asked me why the playdough was out as we are meant to have a reason for having it out to put it on planning, i said this staff member had got it out because she thought i needed mark making for my observations) so i literally answered a question.
Asking her to make sure the steriliser is filled enough with water to submerge the bottles.
Mentioning that a child hadnt been signed in that morning.
And saying i was annoyed at her for lying about me. She said there was cheese all over the floor on monday morning. The floor was cleaned friday night and the manager checked the room over so how she can lie i don't know, but she is doing. And me saying that shes lying is apparently bullying. So i cant even defend myself because i get accused of bullying when i do.
Apparently other staff members have complained about me moaning about her (which i admit ive done. Everyone has had a bit of a moan about something thats bugged them when theyve been in the staff room)
I admitted this and explained that i feel she is targeting me. That she has blatantly lied about me on a number of occasions, which the deputy manager is aware of, that she called me a liar to my face about my disability, which ive spoken to the manager about too (and is one of the things i mentioned i was annoyed about in the staff room to other staff members as they saw how upset i was and asked me about it) and that she physically gets up and walks away from me when i try to engage her in converstaion or she is very abrupt with me.
My manager doesnt seem interested in my side of this.
She doesnt particularly like me anyway. She tried to give me my notice when i first started a year ago and i went above her head to the owner and argued my case (she gave me notice for time off...which she told me to take because i had been in hospital. I had damaged my wrist and was told to avoid heavy lifting. I said id come to work but asked if someone else could change nappies. I was told if i couldn't change nappies i couldn't do my job and to stay home until i recovered. So i did then the day i went back was handed my notice! So i spoke to the owner when she came in and she agreed i didnt deserve my notice and said i still had a job)
Im just really upset by all of this. I wouldn't dream of picking on someone. But i feel like im being targeted and i dont know what to do about it.
