Outright disrespect from line manager
(Nightshift)
Hey, just wondering whether or not reporting my line manager to Rightline would be effective or is reasonable. I basically was in a bit of pain as I had a lot of leg pain in my right leg, I was completely fine and able to bare it and didn't see the need to call in sick until it flared up mid-shift while I was carrying stock and almost gave out, my mind basically was like 'once I get this to the area, I can put it down and give it a break' and as such I had to quickly cram myself between a gap between two rollers which were completely obstructing the way (which caused me no additional pain), my line manager then came up to me and started to try and ask if I was okay, which I responded with yes and explained the brief flare, in which he tried to start a whole debate about me needing to ask him to move a roller which I didn't deem necessary as I was not injured in any way from doing such and I tried explaining my thought process to him especially when in severe pain (I have stated I consider myself neurodivergent on my application and I am currently on the waiting list for an assessment and have been since 2023) and then he just kept counter-arguing it all by basically accusing me of saying I was upset over not being able to take a break, which I didn't mind not taking (which I told him), which agitated me as he was disregarding my feelings and the difficulty I consider myself having which I believe managers may have access to, when I started to break down from the unnecessary debate and explain once again, he laughed and smiled in my face and then when I called it out he denied ever doing so and instead kept on adding pressure onto me and getting very rude. Throughout this I consistently insisted we drop the topic as I wanted to focus on my shift as it was the last for the week and I could recover, and he carried on 'instigating' responses from me when I was very much emotionally distressed and overwhelmed by the sudden event. I have had this issue with him before when I first started last year where his plan for the shift was overstimulating me because it was a mess, which me and other colleagues on shift agreed with and I was still fully capable of working just didn't want to socialise and he kept pestering me and insisting I go take 5 even when I said I really would rather work through it than come back and get stressed again, and then he told other managers about it in an insulting way and I was pulled aside by another manager who informed me of what he had said. I personally believe him to be very emotionally numb and unfit for the role of manager as he is incapable of supporting colleagues and instead resorts to arguing with them and I am uncomfortable with him being my line manager especially since he is our only night manager at the moment and I am on shift with him every time. Sorry if this is a bit incoherent, just need some advice please, I love my job but he makes it really hard for me to want to be at work when he does this stuff. Also to note, he insisted I was delaying the entire shift when it was in fact him by trying to debate something that didn't need debating, when he could've pulled me aside when we finished up all our tasks.
