  1. Thanks very much Gemspan for your kind advice! I have just received my Grievance outcome letter today that states I have no witnesses (due to my colleagues being scared for there own jobs) and my grievance of bullying cannot be upheld. I am writing an appeal letter to the MD stating I am not happy that my manager’s manager is protecting this bully! I am very concerned that the minutes from my grievance had 39 comments wrong or missing and, that I asked for them to be amended. Can they go ahead with an outcome when I did not sign the minutes? I will be starting another job soon of which I am delighted with, but feel it is so wrong people are bullied in work and that the company gets away with it again and again!
  2. I will go ahead with it!!! It’s not about the compensation it’s about how they made my life not worth living for three months and it affected my husband and children. One of my problems or worry is that I work for a National Newspaper who has top London Lawyers behind them and being a newspaper this would never be published which is why they keep getting away with it! I’m told by the union that bulling within Newspapers is rife.
  3. Thanks so much for your advise. I was very luck to leave my job on the Tuesday and to be offered a BETTER job on the Friday. My feelings are that I don`t want them to get away this again!! I am one of many victims why should there be another!! Thanks again.
  4. Hi Thanks so much for your quick responce!! I`m glad you mentioned "Diarised Version of Events" because at my grievance meeting I handed over a thirty two page document of events over the past three months. I made sure I saved the diary in my Yahoo email account so I was able to access the information anywhere and at anytime. I spent many night without sleep worrying about work, once awake I would go onto my Yahoo email account and document the event on that day and my feelings then send the email to myself at work and also back to my Yahoo email account, that way the document was saved and it also had a paper trail with a time and date of which I have many! I made sure before I left work I deleted all emails. I`m told there is a 2nd meeting tomorrow of which I am not aware of. I will keep you informed. Thanks again! Regards.
  5. Please can someone help me! I Don`t know where to begin, but I will try...... I work for a large company and have done for the past three years. The company announceda number of redundanciesdue the the credit crunch. As teams would be smaller I would be working under another manager. This manager has made my life and my familys life hell for the past three months. I did report him to his manager off the record, but has since been targeted by both of them. I have left work on the sick due to stress and will never never go back! I have made a grievance complaint to HR and have had my first meeting with them along with my manager`s manager who happens to like this person! I have recieved my minutes from the meeting and found that 39 of my comments were not added, I have requested them to be added. Since being off work I have found another job and just want to move on with my life, but do not want them to get away with this!!! This manager has done this before and the company had settled out of court only last year. I have also sent a covering letter to the MD to make sure he is aware of the cover up his managers are doing. Below is my letter to the MD.... Dear Mr.......(MD), I would like to bring to your attention concerns I feel you may not be aware of and are being kept on the sales floor. I have raised a grievance against my Manager...... This action is being considered with regards to being “Bullied and Victimised”. I had made an informal complaint to ......(his manager) on the 22nd September 2008 . He was told to “back off” by his manager, but has since continued to victimise me. I have requested on a number of occasion to return to my local office where I was happy working. I feel let down by the company as my manager has, I understand, also been accused of bullying other members of staff that have since left the company. I left work on Wednesday 14th November in tears. I have since spoken to my GP who has confirmed I am a victim of Psychological Stress and to remain off work until further notice. I was employed by the company almost three years ago and have enjoyed working on the team along with my past manager of whom I hold in high regard. My concerns are that I feel I’m being set up to fail by mangers who are now closing ranks to protect themselves. Accounts are being taken from members of staff and given to more favored staff, leaving accounts to look under achieved but remain highly targeted. This allows the Sales Representatives to fail and for the Company to give disciplinary action leading to the resignation of representatives. Up until July 2008, my department had six fully skilled members of staff, of which only one is still employed. Surely someone should ask why retention rates are so poor? Morale on the sales floor is at its lowest, with many sales staff looking for positions within other companies. I feel with great sadness that it appears I will be forced to leave a company and a role that I have otherwise enjoyed highly and in which have shown a degree of personal sales success. I have grown up since a youngster surrounded by the newspaper and was very proud to be working for the Company. My position was advertised, I was placed on a two week induction course, given a company car and received three years business support from my trainner. I have a very good relationship with my clients, namely.......and the local Councils etc. I sadly resigned from the forum at Head Office because I was taken into two meetings, without notice, to see the assistant director for speaking out at the forum for ideas that I genuinely believed would bring in much needed revenue for the business. I also felt very unhappy that my manager was taking minutes, when I only reported him two weeks earlier. My manager enjoyed this meeting and has since abused his power as a Manger in the following ways…. Bullying Victimisation Persistently wearing me down Offensive & Abusive behavior Intimidating attitude towards me Malicious behavior Insulting behavior Abuse of power Unfair penal sanctions Humiliation Making me feel unduly vulnerable Undermining my role and ideas Causing me undue stress Ridiculing me Excessively supervising and monitoring me Setting unreasonable and impossible targets so I’m set to fail I`m off work with no pay due to this sickness taking my level high. Again, I feel I’m being punished for being sick when my manager put me here. I have two young children that will suffer this Christmas as I will not receive a salary. Finally, I would like to point out that I am not a serial complainer and my work ethic has always been one to protect my Manager and keep challenges at a local level, but I simply cannot carry on in the emotional state I have been placed in by my manager. I ask only one question, “If your wife was continually crying and your children were not looking forward to Christmas, how would you feel?”. It’s breaking my heart. Please find attached my first informal complaint. I have set a meeting with HR. My Lawyers and Union Representative acting on my behalf are…..... Yours sincerely. Please can you advise me on if I have enough to take this to court, and can I still go to court if I resign before HR has got back to me on the grounds of Constructive Dismissal. I need to resign in order to start my new job. Do I also need to inform my new company that I am looking to take my old company to court, I don`t want to! This manager has swore at me, talked about my sickness in front of other members of staff and had been looking into the transfer of wages into my bank account. Regards, Tottydude x
