Help please! My line manager is the company MD. I informally discussed my concerns with Head of HR. I was advised to raise my concerns with the MD face-to-face. I did this and scripted what I wanted to go through so that I was coherent, unemotional and thorough (15 pages of enlarged text). The discussion lasted 3.5 hours. I asked him to adjust his behaviour towards me as what we was doing, and what others have witnessed, describes bullying and suggests constructive dismissal - mainly by undermining me as a senior manager in my role and responsibilities, but other aspects too, e.g. setting me up to fail, humiliation in front of colleagues and clients. I talked again with HR explaining that nothing had changed and that I would move to a formal written grievance. That was on Monday. I was writing the grievance and collating evidence when on Wednesday my MD calls me to a meeting room at 6pm (I work beyond 5:30pm basically every day) and reads out a letter informing me that he is planning a restructure, and that if carried out as planned, then my role will become redundant. FYI: I manage the biggest business sector in the company and have the biggest new business/opportunity pipeline. Redundancy is a nonsense. I have been invited to a meeting to discuss this redundancy plan on Monday, where I can be accompanied, and I have been put on 'paid leave' until the consultation is complete. Surely 'paid leave' is not right? On Thursday I submitted the formal grievance. HR were aware of my growing concerns but now seem only interested in the redundancy. As the grievance is against the man planning to make me redundant, surely the grievance needs to be addressed first? All of this has made me ill and my doctor has signed me off for two weeks for work related stress. I fear that the MD will push ahead with the redundancy in my absence and without my grievance being investigated. Would this be allowed? I've also been told not to talk to colleagues, but I need to talk to some in order to collate the evidence to support my grievance. Reading redundancy information on the web suggests that only 1 week of notice is required for redundancy (even though my contracted notice period is 3 months?). I work in the UK and my 2 years of employment are up on 27th November. All very convenient? I feel victimised, and that the redundancy is retribution for me speaking up. Can anyone advise? Thanks.
