I am being bullied by my line manager at work, she talks to me appallingly but no one else, constantly puts me down, blames me for her mistakes and makes me feel unwelcome. I brought this up with our manager who was furious with me, telling me my manager is lovely and would never do this, I’m the rude one and my manager isn’t leaving so it’s up to me if I do.
No one else has these issues with them, although 2 colleague’s have witnessed it and can verify I’m not lying.
I feel like they are both trying to push me out as they don’t like me, I’ve been told I’m not good at the job despite working here for years before them, and often end up crying throughout my working day.
I’ve applied for a lot of jobs so I am hoping I can leave as soon as possible, but until then I’m in a difficult situation where I feel on edge and my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t feel happy with letting them get away with this by just leaving quietly either, as it’s likely they will do it to one of my colleagues next and almost makes me seem guilty in all of this.
I have no hard evidence any of this is happening as unfortunately I didn’t record the conversation with our manager, my only proof would be my word and my colleagues. My managers would turn it round on me if I made a formal complaint as I’m now labelled as the trouble maker, although a manager from another part of the company is aware and isn’t happy with them, it would still be difficult to prove what I’ve said.
I’m desperate to resign because the stress isn’t good for me or my family but I know I will have a hard time proving I had no choice to leave because of being pushed out and treated badly.
I also work here because of a tupe if it has any effect. I feel the tupe contributes to them hating me because I wasn’t hand picked by them.
I’ve spoken to citizens advice and my union is unwilling to help as I joined them recently and they won’t help with any issues that began before joining. I feel completely lost with no support or way out. If anyone has been through this or knows the legal system I’d appreciate hearing from you.
