Sorry NHS, I’ve tried, management has broken you!
Hi folks I was on about a month ago if you remember at all, I was on break talking about being abused at work by my line manager, the abuse has been horrific, sustained and gone on for nearly two and a half years at this point. Basically I now have GAD, panic attacks, anxiety, pre diabetes, sleep apnea and depression thanks to the person concerned, I also took six months off work, and went through a brief moment (Half a day probably) where I no longer wished to be a burden to my family. Cut to October came back, promises were made that have been broken and exposed as utter and complete lies, the abuser is now trying to sack me for want of a better phrase. I wrote all this in a post, and thanks to a lot of you for replying, got some good advice and support. I have launched a counter grievance (One allegedly needs to call it a Resolution meeting now, I’m sure that will improve my panic attacks greatly!), spoken to my overall manager, tried to avoid the bully unless it’s work related, meetings set with HR etc. Which sadly has achieved naff all! The collusion between management and the HR department concerned is quite appalling, a well oiled machine that has quite obviously been plotting my removal for several months now, the volume of work I have been given despite the conditions I have spoken of is double what I had BEFORE the breakdown, as a result I have now been accused of missing deadlines for targets that five people between them would be struggling to meet. As a further result many of the working targets are not being met, as a further result this is leading to front line equipment used by clinicians, ward staff, paramedics and GP surgeries not have equipment that can actually be covered for repairs….essentially because the department seems more interested in trying to break me than assisting the city they actually serve. Again I appreciate all the advice from the last post, but I will tolerate this nonsense no more and will be leaving the trust within the next two months. I will not have my health or life threatened by rich abusers, nor will I have my wife become a single parent because the father has had a heart attack. I will upon leaving be making a formal complaint to multiple bodies about this wretched and outrageous behaviour, and at some point in the next years I will be seeking legal advice. I will also be writing about my experiences in other formats and platforms, and frankly could not care less if I were to be breaching any laws preventing this. I would rather be sued and help someone to survive what I have, than see someone go through this like me. Most of all I am concerned for my city, in that the health of it, no matter how small that contribution, is predicated on the work we are supposed to be doing. I hope HR and the management team sleep well knowing my abuser has been wrapped in cotton wool whilst equipment needed for urgent care lies idol! Again thank you to the people in the NHS who work hard to make it some semblance of what it should be, it is shame that managers and their friends at Palantir do not practice that same work ethic.
