Slanderous Accusations - What Can I Do?!

mickeypops

Hi. You haven't told us whether your manager accepted your evidence that the accusations were unfounded, and considered the matter closed.

If he did, then I'm not sure what you're getting so steamed up about with the manager, to be honest. He received a "complaint" about you, which he is duty bound to invesigate. He did so, (presumably) rejected the complaint and so that was the end of the matter..... except of course that you are rightly annoyed about an anonymous colleague trying to get you into trouble. Or do you suspect that there was no email from a colleague and that the manager was making it up just to have a go at you??

Nope, I think the same thing. So an accusation was made and disproved. Slanderous accusations? Please! Moving swiftly on...

I work in the public sector...and in recent weeks we were asked to fill out a supposedly confidential questionnaire regarding our experiences and thoughts about being at work, and the way in which our department is run.

So have you seen the results of the questionnaire? In my experience, surveys in the NHS are not handled directly by the NHS organisation but by an independent company (like Picker or Ipsos MORI).

The answers which are Yes/No or from a pick list are aggregated and so do not identify the individual.

For the free comments, they remove names and individual identifiers in relation departments (avoiding identifying the complainer or complained about) - at the most possibly splitting between admin and clinical staff or leaving it possible to identify comments about the Chief Executive. These free text comments would not report on the gender or age of the writer.

All the ones I received in the NHS were all from Survey monkey and it was all to easy to work out who had done your reviews and who you had done reviews for.
