I will start by saying I can handle it generally day to day but they are awful and the whole team are unhappy and have been for a while. They do not see people as people with their own feelings they only see them as commodities to benefit from (me) or as waste and pointless. When you are in the waste pile it’s really unpleasant but it’s not good being in the benefit pile either
I have close networks with other departments and I have easily negotiated a move out of the team. It will be in part to my own detriment as it’s further to travel and I have such good relationships with everyone else but I think will be better for me mentally! I wake up every day and consider calling in sick (but I don’t)
I cited different working approaches and goals between us. HR are handling this well on my end but manager will not stop pressuring me for what decision I have made. I am avoiding telling them until everything is in place with the other department because I do not trust manager. HR have made it clear this is not their decision it’s mine but this hasn’t stopped manager trying every manipulative trick in the book to get a reaction, using emotional blackmail tactics, anger, crying etc etc. Today I ended up telling them that I place the welfare of my own family and my income over my managers own needs but I don’t even think they hear that
I might have to be there for another month or 2 and am working on a handover strategy and tying loose ends. But how do I mentally cope with this for 2 months?!
