So I've been at my current company for 9m after being made redundant whilst on mat leave from my previous company.
I started as a part time staff member , although my previous role was managerial, this fitted with my family life. I really enjoyed the job, could see a long career ahead of me etc... my manager was on long term sick, had worked directly with them once. Many staff had stories of how said manager was a character, and not to get on the wrong side of them. Brushed it off, didn't plan on getting on the wrong side anyway, I've always got on well wherever I've worked.
Shortly after the manager returned from sick leave, the opportunity came up (4m after I started) to step into a managerial role I took it. They weren't overly supportive, but other managers were and so were the staff.
Witnessed a couple of incidences where said managers "character" came out, but it wasn't directed at me so I ignored it.
The more I learned about the role, the more processes I found weren't being followed (cash, stock/inventory management etc) the more I felt the manager was covering something/a few things up and being dishonest. I'm very much of the mindset, if you see a problem and don't raise it then you become part of the problem (guilty by association).
Anyway, a few weeks passed and it was eating me up. I went to my area manager and explained everything. They agreed something wasn't right and would look into it. I said my manager would make my life hell if they found out it had come from me, they were intimidating, manipulative, a bully.
I went on a weeks hol, my manager removed me from the manager whatsapp group, and cancelled our meeting.
I come back from hol, added back to group (they never remove people from the group even when on holiday), first day back I get called into the office and told a staff member is leaving because of me. Spoke to said staff member, they said I had annoyed them once or twice but i wasn't the reason for them leaving, it was a mixture of things and they'd been offered a new role closer to home with more hours.
Am told I'm on my phone too much (discussing with a colleague and/or area manager the issues I'm having) so make conscious effort to not have my phone on me.
Manager literally ignores me on every shift, fine. Just get on with my job. Trying to make things as less awkward as possible. Sometimes they're ok, sometimes they're not. Playing mind games. Humiliates me in front of staff members about my lack of planning, despite having to constantly change my plan and being micromanaged (if I'm running shift, let me do it my way).
My other half got a new job, meaning he's going from nights to days, so I handed my notice in at work.
First shift back I get called into the office, and the long as short of it is that all the managers dislike my behaviour, my attitude stinks/has changed, I'm a backstabber, untrustworthy, etc... two of the managers were supposed to be coming to my hen party next month?! I classed them as almost friends not just work acquaintances...
I've got 3 weeks left. But I'm dreading every day. Anxiety levels are through the roof. If I leave now and don't work my notice, will that reflect negatively on me?! Am I a wimp if I go to the gp and ask to be signed off with stress?
