Favouritism and nit picking at work

I am really fed up and don’t know wether to pull up mymanager about the way they have spoken to me.

Firstly, I am leaving but have had no choice. Was told that the job isn’t for me and that I have to choose between career and family. Have been declined for early finishes of 30mins and not given flexible working rights. They have not even promoted me applying for flexible working just told me that it would be a no and that the job isn’t for me.

Secondly, I have been had ago at for discussing concerns with higher management about concerns at work. Very risky situation and just general conversation was had. This manager is higher up but regularly promoted by manager to approach them if needed. Discussed worries with them as they are far more experienced in field.
They have then gone to my line manager saying that I shouldn’t of approached senior manager and then manager has gone mad saying I have made them
Look inadequate and I should of made more of an effort to speak to them despite me already speaking to them and waiting all day to catch up. This manager knew i had chatted to the senior manager before I went home and was seemingly fine about it. I feel senior manager has been sly as they have told manager to pull me up and have a word with me over it. Senior manager is singing my praises though to other staff for being pro active?

Then they told me about not submitting some data on the day I said I would. I explained that meeting finished after work hours so already worked over and was late for a private appointment. I knew I hadn’t submitted this so still submitted data the following day whilst on annual leave. I’m not sure why they have had ago at me despite me doing it in my own time and before they have told me that I had to do it?
I have noticed that another member of staff isn’t submitting data and filing half finished pieces of work and nothing is being said to them.

I’m feeling really pushed out and as if they are trying to pick faults at every little thing I am doing and I really want to pull them aside to tell them I am not happy with the treatment. I need them to complete my reference before I leave so ideally don’t want to piss them off too much.

They do have the right to refuse flexible working if it doesn't suit the business.

Seems a bit harsh when you submitted on your annual leave- were there any consequences for it being late?

Yes I am of the understanding about flexi working but they have other staff who finish early on different days?

No consequences as it wasn’t urgent. We all miss things in the data and we are just reminded at meetings to try and get it done on time. It felt more of a general moaning tbh

If you need a reference I would advise counting down the days and not saying anything.

Just take a very deep breath...
