Just putting this here because I don't have support at home and needing to get this out of my mind.
I had a grievance investigation meeting recently as I'd put in a formal complaint against my manager due to lack of support, their conduct, and not adhering to several company policies. I felt that I gave a lot of evidence to support my claims, however, felt let down by colleagues who declined being invited to interview to support my concerns around this manager's lack of professionalism. So, it feels like it'll end up just addressing this manager's poor practices and lack of transparency, not their bullying behaviour. I don't intend for them to be sacked, I just want senior manager to take my concerns seriously about this manager. I don't feel they'll do much other than suggest retraining them and have them apologise to me. A win for them really.
I don't know how to feel at this point. I explicity stated I couldn't work within that office anymore, not near colleagues or this manager and the investigator said she understood from what i'd said. I told my colleagues I was told that they'd all declined and that I understood reasons why (they wanted to remain impartial); none of them acknowledged it or responded- so feeling a little beaten there. I told my friends a while ago I was putting the grievance in and they told me not to; updated them today and no one replied. Great supportive friends I have.
I'm glad to be leaving in some ways tbh. Though sad because liked the job, yet the atmosphere was awful and overly pressured. That's it really. Manager is being interviewed soon and we both will find out soon enough the outcome. Thanks for reading, in a low place rn.
