Totally OT - Bullied at Work UPDATED

Ahhh thats really bad and im sorry thats happening to you- the only thing I can really think off is note down everything that happens sign and date it, including when you talk to your manager etc then at least you have proof if ever you need to rely on it.

I really really hope things improve for you soon

sending hitched vibes ?

Oh hun thats awful. I totally know how this feels, i let it go on for nearly 2years and i was so miserable! Eventurly they won pretty much and made sure i transfered to another dept by writing some awful stuff about me to my boss. I was to weak by this point to fight it and gave in. DONT LET THEM WIN!

Ps keep a diary of events as proof should u need it

Thats so awful - the others are right, keep notes of everything that is happened, when it happens as a record of it all. Discrimination in the workplace (or anywhere else for that matter) should not be tolerated. If your supervisor doesn't sort it out don't let it stop there - go above them.

Good luck and just remember that its not you thats in the wrong

Thank you xxxxxxx

I've experienced this at both ends of the scale as a worker and as a Manager dealing with staff who have bullied others. Unfortunately when I was bullied at work, there wasn't any legislation in place (1970's) for dealing with these matters and I eventually gave in and left for another job. In later years when I became a Manager, I had to deal with workers who were both bullying and the subject of being bullied. I was aware this was already a problem when I took the job of Manager as the Regional Manager had already informed me of previous problems (although this had never been remedied by her!) Within a very short time, the bully was already having a go at me which I nipped in the bud straightaway. It wasn't long before I had a queue of staff asking if they could have a word in private. I made it quite clear that bullying and bitching would not be tolerated in any shape or form and after a couple of months, the bully in question decided to leave. Once these people are confronted and "stood up to" they soon cave in and move on somewhere else. As the others have said, keep notes of everything and if possible try and get witnesses to back up your claims. Approach your Manager and if you don't get any joy from them, tell them you are not happy with their efforts and will go above their head if the problem is not solved. Good luck and hope it gets sorted soon.

Umbrella - so sorry you're going through this. Know how it feels. I ended up being asked to leave one place of work because I got so low my work suffered. Every day I'd go into work and they'd comment on what I was eating/ when I was eating/ what I was wearing. This was my manager. She was thick as thieves with the MD so had no way of sorting it. She used to mock my outfits loudly in front of the whole office (just because I had a penchant for patterned tights and wore my hair up) and everyone laughed at me. Was like being in the playground again only the bully was a married mother of two with a huge chip on her shoulder.

Please don't suffer in silence - it's truly dreadful and you don't deserve this. Like the others have said, speak to your boss again, note down the incidents, seek advice from a senior manager if possible or go to HR and like one of the previous posters said speak to a union if you are part of one.

Also, I'm a great believer in karma and one day it will bite your supervisor on the backside.

Big hugs to you as I know how terrible it makes you feel x x

Saw your post last night - thinking of you today, let us know how it goes x

Hope everything goes ok today, i've also been bullied at work and looking back im soooooo annoyed with myself that I didn't speak up. I ended up leaving a place i'd worked at for 10 years because of this and it knocked my confidence for a long time afterwards.

I hope you manage to speak to someone who can understand your point of view and get something sorted out for you.

This probably hasn't been a lot of help to you but at least you know us hitchers are thinking of you x

Just seen your post, I hope everything goes ok today ?

What everyone else has said really. Let us know how you get on today x

I don't know what to say, I've been through it myself and actually quit a job because it made me so unhappy. Hope today went OK for you, ?

Thanks everyone- update above x

Make sure you get an apology hun you deserve that at least!!!!!
