Grievance update.

When i took out a grievance months ago I did wonder what I had let myself in for.
I reached breaking point of the nastiness and gossiping so it was my last resort.
I know lots of people think I may as well have a target pinned to me yet after investigation which we are awaiting a letter I was pulled aside and reliably informed that one of the bullies is on a final warning so now on their best behaviour.The others are too so I have no idea if they are on warnings too or just aware of this other one.
How my worklife has improved.
I just thought I would update in case anyone else was considering this option rather than leaving an otherwise good job.
Sometimes situations can be turned around.Or at least I believe that they can.

I also raised a grievance and things have since improved immeasurably, am in the same workplace (different manager).

Shame about the very stressful time I had to go through to get to this point though!

I raised a grievance and was dismissed as a result . Eventually settled a tribunal action but it’s generally a final step.

Heelanahandbasket sorry to hear that.
I did consider this might happen but I wanted out with the old treatment anyway it was so depressing.

I have the option currently to raise a grievance but not sure I have the strength to do it . I was sworn at really badly at work and am floored by it , now paying for private therapy and off sick . How bad was it to do ?

Well I've never raised one before in many decades.
I told my boss who wouldn't deal with it and told me to take it higher so I did.
The whole team was spoken to so I then had to work with the bullies and my boss knowing I had reported them.
At first I thought it was a huge mistake but now I can see improved atmosphere.
The tension was so bad before I couldn't go on.
