I work at a stressful civil service job and have done for the past few years . A few months ago there were some new starters . One had previously had a warning for harassment at his old role . He kept making comments to me and for someone reason ( I’ve been told I’m not liked and this is the reason ), I was seated next to him . I was mocked by other staff about this.
I told my manager and they temporarily kept my in my old seat . I’ve now been placed with him permanently . I spoke to the union and they said I’m being bullied The managers are part of the problem and mock to . I hear them slag off staff all day.
I have asked to move seats they have said no. They mentioned a role( sort of promotion ) I could do that would take me to another part of the office , but they have given it to someone who has been there 3 months.
I feel very depressed about all this and previously I have had good friends in all the work places I’ve been . I won’t be able to cope in my new seat, should I resign ?
