I have been working for a owner operated company for over 10 years and .....have been the target on off for most of these years. I started this position with much confidence, I find myself a mere shell of what I used to be. It's difficult to look for another job, I don't feel confident. Even though I know I do a good job I am constantly critisized and verbally abused. When it's not me it's my co worker. It hurts me even more when she does it to others. I don't know what to say to them but apologize for her actions.
On Thursday after a 1 1/2 weeks of filling in for employees out of office and on holidays, she emailed me that an employee did not get back to her about an order. I followed up for her and emailed her the information. When she came in later that morning, she proceed to verbally attact me. Screaming and yelling that nobody cares about her work and that her stuff isn't important to us. (This is so untrue everybody jumps when she calls) She then brought her husband into the event. I didn't know what to say, and of course if I say anything it's twisted and thrown back. When she left at noon I said good bye, which was totally ignored. She didn't speak to me for two days. When the employee who made the error came back, she has been just as nice as could be to her but pretty well has ingnored me except to send me emails from her office (6 ft away). These emails have instructions for me to follow up on things I usually do, but I am to report back to her with the answers. When I reply she is voicing (not emailing) me questions as to why I did it this way and I should have done it that way. She's trying to set me up to fail, I can see that. Today she has cancelled a meeting I set up with a customer because she decided it wasn't a good time, really seems at this point it was becasue I set it up. And then her husband the other owner sent out a blanket email to all employees about how we are going to do a certain job this way now. Well this job is a part of my job that I have done for years, no meeting no discussion just now were going to do this. Which means they have now taken part of my job away. They sent it to everyone. I know this is bully on her part but is it harassemnt? I have put up with this for long I don't know anymore, this is one of many things most have been worse. They own the company what can you do but leave. I am shell shocked. |
