Thank you. It definitely is

Someone at work has made my life difficult from day one, undermining me and telling lies to my boss. Monday on my day off she went to my boss and told her that I had a job interview across town

Last week I had a day off because I was feeling rough she told my boss she saw me shopping

Another colleague said to me yesterday "there is lots of stuff flying around about you" so decided enough is enough. Mentally and emotionally

Have you raised the issues you are facing with your HR dept? In my company any harassment cases are immediately investigated as part of a confidential investigation. There is also a zero retaliation policy to protect employees

You should perhaps get some legal advice .. This sounds like a potential constructive dismissal case ??

I think anyone out there that has their notice in and they've got a job lined up they've got to think for themselves is it a better job? Is it a better paid job? I keep saying to myself that I've been at the same job now for nearly 15 years and I would love that an opportunity would come my way so I could move on, unfortunately with the money that I get from the job that's the only thing that's keeping me there

Good luck. I did this myself a few months ago and am now near the end of my notice period.

Firms try to create beliefs that people belong in a firm, or owe the firm loyalty to stay, or whatever, but this is really simple ... you have a contract of employment with them, and one of the rights in that contract is to terminate it and leave. It’s just business. It’s just business when they make decisions that staff are unhappy about and it’s just business when you decide to take your life or career in a different direction.

The firm may not be happy that you are leaving, and if that is the case that’s a positive, shows you were doing a good job. But most of all, you leaving is an inconvenience for them, as they need to replace you, are losing experience etc. But that is their problem! Don’t let them try to make their problem your problem.

Good luck!

Sounds like a right cow. You have to wonder why people behave like that. Chances are she is just jealous of you as you look amazing.

Feel free to point the finger right at this person when you are asked why you are leaving. Quite possible that this sort of behaviour is not news to your bosses

I waited until I'd accrued enough annual leave to cover my period of notice, dropped a post-it note onto the bosses desk saying "I resign" and just walked out. Possibly one of the most satisfying and liberating feelings I've ever had in my life. Best of luck, OP - your life is yours, nobody else's and you only get the one shot at it.

I’m so sorry you are experiencing this. I had something similar but the culprit was my own boss. I put up with it for years and put in grievances but she was “friends” with HR director & the grievance was handled by a VP instead of her peer. They didn’t uphold it which I expected but they recommended mediation and I agreed but my “boss” never agreed to a date. I’m the end I moved to a different role in a new department and had never been happier. It was my dream job without even knowing it.

I’m only sharing my experience because sometimes your gut instinct to move on or away is the right one. You can fight back but you still end up moving on.

I hope you get support and peace soon lovely if not do you want us to beat her up and steal hers sandwiches??

Oh god! What a nightmare!!! Just makes my blood boil that people can put others through that!

I've had issues since I started there and always thought that it must be me, am I too sensitive? Could I have deeper issues

I tried to raise the issues during supervisions and she would query my mental health, am I perceiving things because of how I felt and I thought well it must be me....

Now I know it's not, the place was causing my mental health, it is a vicious circle

I relayed my reasons and concerns which was met with "oh you know what working with women is like"

I responded "and there was me thinking I an working in a professional environment with grown adults

Apparently my mental health factors in my perception of what things are said

As for the lies that was met with "yeah well people assume"

Wow, that is terrible - How can they not recognise and take action when you've highlighted its a toxic environment

I can't believe the response you got, it is staggering to think this will happen again to other people

Sounds like your boss isn't willing, nor capable, of acknowledging there's a serious problem in the work place.

Mentioning mental health could be grounds for discrimination though.

Still though, you're out of there now. The only way is up.

Oh I think you've made the right choice to go if that's their response. Definitely. But I'd also think you may have a case for constructive dismissal. If you've got any work emails related to the difficulties you've had - make sure you save them so you've got the evidence trail. I found it so stressful that I didn't take them to tribunal but wish I had in hindsight. Employers need to be kept accountable for this behaviour - blaming your mental health ffs. Hope you feel great now you've done it!

In your 3 weeks left, are you going to speak to the people who told lies and spread rumours about you

Wow that's awful! You are better off without them. Hope the 3 weeks go fast.

Maybe if your 'mental health' is so bad they should pay you to leave now so that 'you' don't cause any more problems. Dicks. X

I’m so proud of you for getting out! Using mental health to gaslight you and as a tool to constructively dismiss you is unacceptable. Make sure you take any examples of things that have happened with you when you leave and if you do have someone there you trust ask them if they be a witness to any situations they saw that you have a record of. If you have stuff like this it’ll help you at citizens advice to take legal action. I think you have up to 3 years after leaving to follow it up if you want to.

I know you might want to leave it all behind you but consider it because it might help any doubts you have about yourself.

And enjoy that week off knowing you have a better work life ahead of you xx

Wow, that is terrible - How can they not recognise and take action when you've highlighted its a toxic environment

I can't believe the response you got, it is staggering to think this will happen again to other people

... Will you get to do an exit interview with HR? "

My boss is also the director and the HR lol

Just happy that I stood my ground and told her concisely challenged her points....At least it's out there

The next 3 weeks will be interesting x

Thank you for all the support and kind comments. I'm torn at taking it further, she can't keep doing it. However I feel the best action to take is to walk out with my held high.

And I got offered another job, same as what I am doing now but in a place closer to home. I worked there a few years ago and offered me the job straight off the bat and cancelled meeting everyone else they were due to interview

So it feels like a weight has lifted

Great news.

As for your boss, maybe when the next person becomes a victim but goes the whole way with a complaint then he will realise what he has allowed to happen.

But you walk away knowing you’ve come out of it a better person x

Brilliant new about the new job!

At the very least now you have raised awareness that persons bad attitude and unprofessional behaviour.

Should this situation reoccur it may make it easier for the next person to e 'heard'

And yes you can walk out of there head held high.

Good luck with new job....exciting new adventures ahead of you x

In a way similar. But it is time that, perhaps, both of us need to be a little bit more kind to ourselves. It is time that someone learned the value of respect and though it will benefit me not, it may benefit my wonderful team and demonstrate their value and that is worth more than me staying.

I shall ride horses and laugh at the rain for a while, I think I may have earned it. As for you. Though no one gives you value, save yourself, I am joyed to see that you have found that worth in yourself and are now giving those riches to people that deserve them. You will be good.

I am amazing at my job, I know. 25 years of supporting families and caring for other peoples children. Children who now as 25 year olds remember me tell me this.

Managing staff through nurturing and supporting people is key, my staff need love, support and positivity just as the children do. Why would they not? People rarely remember what you say but they do remember how you made them feel

I've looked after babies of babies I used to care for and each one precious. I love seeing them grow wondering what they will be as adults, kids career or ASBO

Hell I can even recite the Gruffalo from memory and create bear hunts in the garden! That makes me cool as fuck in any 3 year olds eyes

See, you are a natural giver, a nurturer. I bet you will leave a lasting impression on your team too....But you won't have left them, not while they take your knowledge and guidance with them as you go. Signs of a great leader, never underestimate the force of that x

New chapters. New books. I haven’t felt this free for some time. What will be, will be Ms Gruffalo x

Oh no, didn't you know! There is no such thing as a Gruffalo!

A Gruffalo? What's a Gruffalo? Why! Didn't you know

Good, glad you feel that weight lift...and it is a weight xx"

On a side note I rescued a mole from the riding arena today (he had somehow got in and couldn’t get out). I picked him up by his stubby little tail and put him outside the fenced arena. As I placed him softly on the grass the other side of the fence he turned and squeaked angrily at me, I swear he was shaking his fist. Whilst the horse I was supposed to be riding looked at me in the “I’m a bit simple” way that horses do as if to say “what doing with velvety squeaky thing?” ”. It was the single trigger point to me resigning. Life is beautiful if you just let it be beautiful

"Thank you for all the support and kind comments. I'm torn at taking it further, she can't keep doing it. However I feel the best action to take is to walk out with my held high.

And I got offered another job, same as what I am doing now but in a place closer to home. I worked there a few years ago and offered me the job straight off the bat and cancelled meeting everyone else they were due to interview

So it feels like a weight has lifted "

Great news. Sounds like your current job was just being poisoned by this person, then your boss was taking their side and gaslighting you. It's the sort of crap that nobody ought to have to put up with (far too common though ). Hopefully your new job will bring back enjoyment in your work, and being closer to home will cut your travelling costs (every little helps) and give you back a few minutes every day (really, time for ourselves is the most precious thing there is).

With hugs, Polly xxx
