Grievance meeting coming up....

Posts: 13 Forumite
I've been off sick since Xmas with various stress related ailments and I finally got well enough to pursue a grievance. I handed in my notice at the same time, because of the bullying I'd experienced and the complete lack of faith I have in them protecting me from further bullying as they failed to protect me over a period of several months during which I repeatedly and in writing told them what was happening with this other person - the only person my job role specifies I actually have to work alongside.
I sought advice, and was advised to send in my grievance letter rescinding my notice, as I actually loved my job role - it was the bullying and treatment I got I was trying to get away from as it has left me unable to do my former role still, I'm having to sell my pets, as I have no energy to look after them, or money due to sick pay and have had to get all sorts of tests done and have hospital apts coming out of my ears, I can just about cook my own food each day. I have received the letter inviting me to the meeting, and saying if I don't feel up to it I can do it all by correspondence - not sure how that would work - or I can take a union rep - not a member - or a colleague - considering all the ones I know are in some way involved/part of my evidence.....how is that supposed to work?! Feel like it rather leaves me high and dry?! If anyone can offer advice it would be appreciated - e.g. I have tons of emails/texts/photos as evidence - do I take all of that to the first meeting? I just feel like they'll just want to brush it under the carpet and continue as though nothing has happened.

If you are not a member of a union and you have no colleagues that you have faith to act correctly on your behalf (if they can act?) then I would take their offer up to do by correspondence.
I would write the letter clearly setting out your grievance and include a timeline, with details of what evidence you have and await their response.
It may even be worth seeing if you can get a free hour with a solicitor. Do you have legal cover on house insurance/car insurance?0
