Bullying and compromise agreement

Helen1971

Suzy, the best advice I can give you is to get out with a clean reference and as much money as you can negotiate. You might as well get the solicitor to help you; he's already involved now, for good or bad. I think you've pretty much cashed in your chips with your current employer. I'm sure it's been an upsetting experience so I think the best thing now is to move on and make a fresh start. Good luck.

OP, I think this is the best advice you've been given I'm afraid.

A lot of people won't understand the stress caused by inappropriate behaviour in the office (yes, being screamed at in the middle of the office is inappropriate, don't let anyone say it's just management). If you get that and undermining consistently (amongst other stuff) it is bullying, I believe it's in the ACAS definition of such. Tbh, the fact the company aren't willing to do anymore after mediation failed I would take as a sign that you should go anyway. The situation isn't going to be improved, and they aren't going to back you. I had a similar thing, but I was fortunate enough to be moved although they tried to sack me first (OH and legal backed me, sack me = winnable tribunal).

After everything you wanted someone you could trust no doubt, and I bet you thought that was the solicitor. I can see why, but sadly I think that was the final nail in the coffin with them. You may as well use your solicitor to get as much as you can, and make sure they get you a good reference.
