return to work

[needee]

I work in education and I'm I about to return to work after 6 weeks off with work related stress. A big problem was the relationship I had with my manager. I felt bullied and often haraassed. The time off has made me able to reflect and I'm considering raising a grievance. Can anyone help?

Not sure what help you need, only you can write the letter.

Just put the problems in writing and state that you are raising a grievance. After that it's up to your company or organisation to investigate.

You really need to iinvolve your professional association or union to help you with this matter.

Please be careful. When you return your manager will still be there and will probably behave the same. I was also bullied out of a job once and it is a most harrowing experience and hard to bounce back from. Please check out the website BULLYONLINE, where you can read about bullying in the workplace. It is rife in the education sector and those who complain usually end up losing their jobs. So please be careful and clever and do your research before going on the attack.
