I have today come back from work feeling upset and just need to know where I can go from here.
Long story short is that I have worked for an organisation for over 10 years. My role is public facing, and can be emotionally draining at times. I need to be vague as I don't want to be outed.
Today I was told by my line manager that the top manager wanted me to to take on an additional role currently handled by somebody else. I explained I have no time to do this and could not take it on. I was told that if I didn't agree then the top manager said I will face capability. My line manager was upset delivering this to me and agreed that I am stretched as it is.
I went directly to the top manager who denied using that phrase. The manager said capability is a long process that doesn't happen in the way I was told. The top manager also said that they would speak to the line manager about this.
I spoke again to my line manager who repeated that the top manager had been clear and they (line manager) have accurately told me what was said.
I feel offended and hurt, I work hard and have never been any where near a disciplinary / capability action in the work place.
It is clear that somebody is not being completely truthful. I feel like my role and my effectiveness is not valued and I am upset that, despite many years of loyalty and commitment, I have been treated with little respect.
I'm not sure if I can face work in the morning and I don't know what my options are.
Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks
