Manager at a top blue-chip company. Moved teams 12 months ago for development. Four weeks ago, my manager brought in an external contractor, told me to train him — turns out he’s taking my role. No clarity on my position since, but senior stakeholders now present him as me.
I’ve been excluded, undermined, bullied, and gaslighted for months. HR keep pushing informal “solutions” despite things getting worse. Stress is making me ill, but I’m scared going off sick will hurt my career.
