Hi, I work a remote job - and have worked for the same company for the past two years. I was assigned a new manager earlier this year. Initially, we seemed to get on fairly well, but then she began micro-managing me which I found stressful. In our meetings, she would regularly call me by the wrong name but quickly correct herself, she’s done this consistently in over 3 of our meetings I would say.
I unfortunately have had two bouts of sickness (one in May, one in June) due to two separate flus/bugs. The most recent one being particularly severe and has taken me a good 4 weeks to fully recover from. My manager suggested, in our last meeting, that it was stress related. Don’t get me wrong, I know stress doesn’t help your immune system, but I caught this bug from my partner at home as he had it first - that is unfortunate and can’t be helped. She said she would need to speak to HR as we may need a formal meeting due to it triggering my first sickness warning - fine. I can accept that, if that’s the procedure. Nothing I can do about that.
later in the meeting, she went thru my stats, incorrectly feeding them back to me, and a bit of an argument ensued, it then led to me bursting into tears. She carried on talking at me about data, but I said to her I’m in no fit state to continue this call, I’m going to leave the meeting now.
I’ve since handed in my notice - I’ve been offered a new job elsewhere. She’s been so blunt with me, and no check in to see how I’m doing following me bursting into tears.
Do you feel like she’s failing in her duty of care here? I feel it’s very subtle, subtle bullying going on but I don’t know. Due to be meeting her again today, and I feel so on edge and nervous. I feel she owes me an apology, doubtful I’ll get one.
Any advice on this situation? I considered raising a grievance but I’m leaving now so I’m not sure there’s any point… still have to work there for another 5/6 weeks though
