Senior Guinea Pig
My manager had a go at me today as I have had too much time off sick this year. I suffer from fairly regular migraines, have joint problems, depression and have just had the flu that was going round my OH's work. She said that while she knew I was actually ill she wanted to get to the bottom of why I was ill and then proceeded to analyse me for the next half hour and it mainly focused on my depression.
She wanted to know why I was depressed and when I said that I can't actually put my finger on what makes me this way but said that my bullying colleague does not help matters she did nothing but defend him even though she is fully aware of what he is like. The bullying has tailed off somewhat lately but I just cannot stand him. He thrives on making me feel about 2 inches tall and I hate people like that. He has a problem with my veganism which was how it all started. She is his friend and was one of the select few invited to his recent wedding (I was the only one on our team not invited and she could not see how this singled me out).
Then she decides to blame the depression on the fact that Ross works in what is sometimes a very dangerous job (threatening clients etc). Yes I do worry but he can handle himself.
So anyway I came out of the meeting feeling like complete cr*p and now feel that I have taken a huge step backwards when I felt I was doing ok for once.
Rant over
