Tell your manager that unless they deal with this withn the next week you will put a grievence in about them.

Or just do it.

Managers agreed to monitor the situation for a trial period.

However during the meeting he pulled me up on my attendance to work (all stress related illnesses I might add) and generally made me feel rubbish about that. I think this had something to do with me giving in so easily. So I caught up with him the next day and said I was happy to let him have his trial period, however if I was put in a difficult situation again I would be going above his head to Managing Director (who's only instore once a week - my day offf..)


Think I'll be looking for a new job anyway, but now my sick days will go against me.
If asked about my time off sick, is it slanderous to mention problems with a collegue as a possible trigger (stress trigger)? Obviously wouldn't name her to the new company.

Thanks again guys xx

I work in a shop, have worked there for 2 and a half years. Since I have been there an older member of staff has been a right pain in the :mad:. She went for a promotion about a year ago and didn't get it, a 21 year old girl did. Since this she has done nothing but make everyone elses lifes hell, when the main manager isn't around (which is pretty much all the time)

Things came to a head not last week, the one before (22nd? approx) & after having her spend the day yelling at me, making me do her job (covering the assisant manager who was off on hols), and putting me down in front of customers. I decided I'd had enough and put in a complaint including everything that I'd complained about before (verbally) and the incidents from this day. The manager did nothing about my complaint, except tell her one had been made. So obviously she made my life worse...
Anyway comes to Monday last week (28th) and I wake up start getting ready for work and suddenly feel really sick/sweaty/shakey etc etc. Ring in work sick, an hour later I'm fine. This carried on all week. Got to the weekend and felt okay and this woman wasn't working so weekend was absolutely fine. Monday morning comes around and I'm supposed to be working with this woman at 9am. By 9.10 I'm throwing up in the bathroom and having the same sort of sweats/shakey feeling. Get myself down the doctors and he says it sounds like an anxiety attack stemming from her treatment of me.

Spoke to manager etc he feels despite the fact 4 other members of staff complained about her as well (there's only 8 in total anyway..) there is no need for an investigation into her behaviour.

So as it currently stands; my doctors signed me off work until the situation is resolved, my manager is refusing to resolve the situation.

Is there anything I can do apart from keep making myself ill going into work? I would leave if we could afford to live on OH's wages but it's just not possible at the moment..

Any advice would be great, sorry for long post. If anyone wants me to clarify any points just ask, I've rambled a lot!

I suggest you install CCTV in all rooms of the workplace. Or install a mini one in your clothing and report back to the manager after a week or a month and he may listen to you.
