It was proven during an investigation that another member of staff had been bullying me. A behaviour agreement was drawn up that we both had to sign. I don't think my bosses actually thought it was happening and during mediation it was clear the bully didn't agree and even bullied me in the meeting. It left me a wreck and affected me in many ways. My boss hasn't taken another complaint I have made seriously and said it comes down to 'perception'.I try to keep out of the bully's way. Yesterday she got the wrong end of the stick which I know is easy to do but her reaction humiliated me in front of the people I work with. I said nothing. I later emailed my bosses with my account and haven't had any acknowledgement at all. They have always been reluctant to talk to this person, normally if they do she takes a few days off afterwards. I have struggled everyday for the past 3 years to go to work everyday. At its peak my hair was falling out, my neck seized up, I wasn't sleeping and I was paranoid. I felt a bit better once it was all in the open when I thought I was believed but I don't think I was now, especially by my bosses. I feel drained and frustrated. I don't want to leave a role I enjoy. I did resign before I made my complaint official, my boss took it far to easily,she said she was very sorry to see me leave etc and would give me a glowing reference. She said she would be making it clear to the bully that I was leaving because of her! This didn't sit well with me. I withdrew my resignation because another boss talked me out of it, she came across like she believed me but has since turned on her heels.
I feel like suing them for the damage they have done to me. There has been plenty opportunity to nip this in the bud early on but I was told to deal with it myself as they couldn't get involved. I have kept a log of pretty much everything.
