Recently I have been told by my manager that she would be changing my working pattern. I asked for an informal meeting, which was ignored I then contacted ACAS and the equality commission who have advised me on my rights. I contacted them again explaining that I had to do this and was hoping they would have agreed to have a chat with me. They finally got back saying they would but no date has been put in place. That’s the basic back story.
Last night I went to work to be told that there is Xs retirement meal on Monday. I haven’t been told, we are a very small team, due to nature of the job and a recruitment crisis. My manager and deputy is going, the lady who is retiring and another member of staff. I was informed by a service user, as they are also going and will be paying. The service user said they want me there and got upset when I said I hadn’t been told.
When the lady who retired (after being on sick) the manager had said some time ago, to the service user, when X is better we will all go out for a meal. I was included at this point, as the service user, discussed it with me, telling me the list of people going.
The lady who has retired spoke to a colleague, who happens to be my best friend, last night and mentioned this meal and perhaps it’s best that I don’t go due to the issues with my manager!!
This means there has also been a breach of confidentiality.
I feel v cross and feel they’re behaving like bullies.
What would peeps do in this situation? Tia
