hi everyone, i need some advice about a terrible situation i am in at work. i work for a very large company looking after the elderly and i live in tied accomodation. i recently found out that i was pregnant and the tenants (who live where i do) seemed to be very upset by this. i have heard several comments made about my personal life and my unborn child. malicious rumours are now being spread about me, also in the town where i live. i have been signed off sick for the remainder of my pregnancy as i was also trapped in my office by one person who became verbally agressive towards me and also tried to hit me. he was removed and the police were called. thankfully i had a co worker with me at the time, and she has also been subjected to some of the malicious rumours etc. there has also been malicious complaints made about myself and my co-worker (unfounded) and my employer seems to be doing nothing about this. i feel that i want to resign and seek constructive dismissal but on speaking to the local council regarding housing, i was told that if i resign i would be making myself voluntarily homeless, therefore they will not help. i feel trapped in a job i cannot carry out due to the fear of these people. i am also finding it difficult leaving the house as i am scared someone is going to confront me. i believe this behaviour has been going on for an extremely long time to my 2 predecessors (who i am trying to contact) is anybody else going through a similar situation or can offer me advice on what to do. many thanks.
