What should I do?
A few weeks ago, I discovered that my supervisor had been secretly recording me during a discussion. His phone was hidden in his laptop, and I only found out when it accidentally slipped.
I immediately escalated the incident to the highest leader in our company, who assured me that HR would be informed and the matter would be addressed.
Before I went on my planned one-week leave, I was told that my supervisor might resign from his position. During that conversation, it was also mentioned to me that he has many children — something that honestly felt like an unintentional guilt trip. I left for my break carrying guilt, questioning myself and wondering if speaking up might cost someone their job.
But at the end of the day, what happened was still misconduct — especially considering that this person was my direct supervisor.
Eventually, I gathered the courage to formally report the incident directly to HR. I was informed that an NTE (Notice to Explain) would still be issued, regardless of whether he resigns or not.
Since then, things have felt different.
I started feeling like I was being pushed out — as if people were slowly ganging up against me or creating a narrative to make me resign. I’m still on probation, which makes everything even more difficult and honestly, more frightening.
On top of that, I’ve been hearing rumors and negative feedback allegedly being spread about me.
Since this incident happened, I haven’t had peace. I no longer feel safe at work. I struggle to sleep, overthink constantly, and carry anxiety every single day.
I’m now considering resigning because the environment has become too toxic for me. But part of me still wants accountability for what happened.
Has anyone gone through something similar? What would you do if you were in my position?
