Hey all,
I'm battling a living hell at work. I have been basically pushed back and forth with co-workers, managers, etc.
I was dx in Dec 2011, and really feel that the job has helped with the stress, etc. We had a crazy employee, that made the work environment horrible, and ultimately had to be transferred due to a code of conduct. I have everything noted, jotted down, of what this person did. To patronizing comments, physical abuse with other employees, and all around jerk. That's the first part, kind of happened in 2009-2010.
Now, this is where it gets interesting. Ever since I kind of told my co-worker of my diagnosis, things have gotten unbearable- feeling like constructive dismissal. I am in financial services, and at one point was doing all operations, meeting with clients, etc. Once this banker was transferred, two new ones came in. I have been kept out of the loop with any clients, was never introduced, have no interaction with these people, and am basically ignored. In addition, I was scolded for verbally telling people to call our hurricane hotline for emergency funds, b/c these people got jealous, and was asked why I had to have a big mouth. See, its more psychological abuse than anything.
A few weeks ago, I wore a derby hat (bowler), and my wife put some tape on the sides. Now, I just got a call from HR saying that I wore a religiously offensive hat, and that I said my name was Rabbi "#(*$R, and that I would do a circumcision. I never said that stuff, and I just got a second call from HR today, to go over the story again, and felt like I was being pushed to a wall with this situation. It's like I was put in fight or flight mode, many times. For about 6 months, these bankers have kept all business to themselves, with any service. I used to keep a client list on my computer, to update with any new clients, but it seems these people are doing their own thing. I'm never even given a chance now to pick my days off, ask for a weekend off, etc. No more personal time.
Two weeks ago, I was asked to make phone calls to set up appointments. I was so micromanaged by these two people. They kep asking me question after question, "oh how are you going to do that, and we can see it". Every response I had wasn't sufficient, and it really seemed like they were trying to get me soooo pissed. Total micro manage.
Please, anyone out there, let me know if I have a possible suit. I am not scared at all of the repurcusions, but feel I have a strong case against this company, and how it could have possibly attributed to my early diagnosis, given the work environment. Please, help me, I need some strategic guidance here. This aint fair. It's getting to be a daily battle, with each day getting harder.
