What is the name of your state?Minnesota
HI - my manager is a bully....I know this now after spending lots of time researching her illness. In a nutshell...She has one person she will bully until either A) she gets them fired B) they quit C) they move to a new team with new manager
I have reported her to the union who in turn did talk to her. (at this time I did not know there was such a thing as bullying) Today I spoke with HR - I have requested to be moved to a new manager and was denied. I told HR that my mental health and self esteem are at stake. Basically I was told it in my head and that the manager and myself need to come to a working arrangment. I am afraid of her and also told HR that - the lady thinks I am being dramatic....She did not say that but that's the impression I got although she did say she would "investigate". Since I have been under her wing (Oct 2004), I am the 3rd victim - one was fired, second moved when a position opened, and now myself...Last week she was so mean that I sat and cried at my desk for the WHOLE day.... My work is suffering as I don't do much but HELLO - there is a correlation here and I attempted to explain to HR who said - you need to ignore and concentrate on work....But that's hard when I am on edge and can only concentrate on what she is going to pull next. I hate coming to work now and my migraines have gotten worse.
What recourse do I have as an employee?
