Very pleased to see that right will prevail Colin, well done you for sticking to your guns and now this person will find out that bullying isn't the way to go, especially with someone else taking the same action as you. It's good to hear your Solicitor feels you have a strong case too, all power to you.

Keep us posted and hope the new job is fine.

WELL DONE MATE

Oh Colin, what a lovely man you are, you have integrity and have stuck to your guns, knowing in your heart that you felt that the dismissal of this lady didn't hang right with you......

During the 60's and 70's there were plenty of jobs about, you could leave one job and go straight into another, but it seems that today some people are taking advantage of the shortage of jobs, by forcing their ideas on others.....

Good for you Colin, and very good luck in your new job....

Well done Colin!
You weren't alone - even at work!
Bullies always need targets - we just all need to stand up to them.
Strangely, since the person who bullied me has gone to a different department, other people within the department I am in are realising just how 'controlling' she was!
Although I don't get her pay, I'm now essentially doing her job. (Ironic really as she insisted I was incapable of doing my own job - let alone her apparently 'more responsible' job).
Little things - like her insistence a certain form be filled in - many thought it was an 'official' document - not just a form she had created.
Her insistence people did things a certain way - as if the whole department would fall apart if they didn't - they're amazed when I tell them it's not THAT important - if they make a mistake it'll take me a few minutes to put it right.


As they say, what goes around comes around

Glad you stuck it out, it can be harrowing going through these procedures and easy to give up. Hope you get compensated and that you get on really well in your new job.

good luck in the new job Colin and well done.

I hadn't caught up with what had happened Colin, but I am very glad to read that you have a new job, and in standing up for your own rights will hopefully stop this person from doing the same to someone else.

Well things are moving...the senior manager concerned is now subject to an official griveance investigation. One of my own staff has also resigned and is pursuing the same type of grivance against the same person....and even better my solicitor has said I have numerous elements for a constructive disimssal claim.
Please dont let work place bullies win - fight back its a great feeling

Well done, Col - sounds like you've come out on top.

One thing I remember being told was that "Bullies are Cowards"
Good luck in your new job

I just want to say as well Colin, good luck with the new job. I hate bullies of any kind and as we get older we do not expect to find it away from the playground but sadly people bully others in all walks of life.

Also been following your thread.

Why can't we have more bosses like you

All the best for your future

Hi Colin

We've not spoken before but I've been following this thread and I'd like to say "well done you" you're a gentleman.

All the luck in the world with your new job

Colin I am so sorry that you felt the need to resign, but I am amazingly proud to know you love.
What you did was a really wonderful thing, something to be proud of.
There is enough cruelty in this world today and you stood up for your beliefs.
I am proud of you and hope all goes well in your hearing.
So, did you save that woman her job, or is she too being bullied into leaving?
Good luck Colin.

Hi Colin, well done for sticking to your principles and considering the feelings of the woman who had suffered a double miscarriage.
I hadn't realised you had a new job lined up but I am glad you won't have to work with these selfish people any longer and wish you luck with the new job.
Lizx

Well I have resigned!!!!
The company is in no doubt of my reasons or the fact that I am now prepared to take this further.
I am on sick leave pending the termination of my employment and actually start my new job very soon.
If by chance you are wondering what kicked off the bullying ....I was told to sack someone whom had suffered a double misscarriage...I refused and the bullying began....
...Thanks so much for all your PM's, advice and posts....without you guys and gals it would have been sooooo much harder

Good luck Colin, at the meeting, it's time these companies realised they can't ride roughshod over people's feelings.

Col

If you can, get someone to go with you so that you have a witness to the meeting. Go well prepared with times, dates etc and be prepared to stick to your guns.

I wish you the very best of luck.
