Hi
I was approached to take on a new job role at the start of the year. This role includes providing rotas, being responsible for 70 clients and 30 staff amongst other things.
I accepted and I love my job but...
from day 1 a colleague just didn't like me. I genuinely have no idea why except her friend was dismissed from the post I took.
i made my manager aware and she said she had already noticed and spoken to her once. She spoke to her again.
Things settled but then sabotage on the computer systems started. These could have become dangerous but the sabotage selected was always to look like I was incompetent.
An audit was put on the system to trace as my manager agreed something was amiss. These things usually happened when I was returning from a day off/holiday.
An audit message appeared so everyone knew it was in place so things died down but the atmosphere was awful. Little things still happened but they were addressed with"oh my mistake sorry" by my colleague.
i handed in my notice 3 months ago as I had had enough of watching over my shoulder.
I was asked several times to stay as was good at my job and my manager said to not let her win, etc so I took back my notice.
Two days later I was placed on a probation for 2 months "to see if the dynamics of the workplace settled."
I was shocked but I had nothing to hide. I was also advised by my manager to extend an olive branch to the colleague. She is trained in all departments and my manager said she would be hard to replace and the directors think a lot of her. I emailed her but she rebuffed and said she wasn't aware there was any issues.
Things did settle and then last week I was taken in the office and told I was no longer on probation. I never received paperwork to tell me I was on it, let alone off it.
Id been on arranged annual leave for 3 weeks on and off and then 3 days after having My probation removed, I was taken into the office and told
"The directors have serious concerns relating to your ability in your role and you will be immediately stood down."
Ive never had any warnings so I was shocked and upset.
I was offered a new role on the same pay but upstairs out of the way where I would no longer work direct with my team. The lady who holds this post currently sits with us. I have a medical condition which won't help going up and down stairs and sometimes I can't drive. This role involves driving. They had already offered the role to the other woman and given me hers. I wasn't asked, I was told. The new role is on a 3 month probation.
I asked to leave the meeting and go home as I was distraught.
Twenty mins before this happened I was asked to manage a different office for the weekend as they were short staffed. I originally declined as was working the next 2 weekends and was strongly told "The directors are asking you personally" so I felt obliged to do it.
I went home, done the other role and hurt my back. I went off sick and have very strong medication for pain relief. I'm now off sick. I have been text asking me for my answer on the new role, I ignored it. I sent a letter saying I was upset and confused as to why this was happening and can they please write the reasons and my manager refused saying we will discuss it face to face. She then added on
"As you didn't answer my question regarding the new role I will take it that you're not accepting it."
Im off sick and my mindset is fragile with all this plus my medication.
I don't even know right now if I'm even employed and I don't want the new role, it's never been an area I wish to work in as well as health reasons.
Im due back to work next week and I'm so confused and scared as I don't know what's happening or why.
Its a small company so there's no PR or union and I can't join one as the unions I asked said the process has already started so I wouldn't be covered.
I don't know if they can fire me as I won't accept it but I can't afford to be without work and I done nothing wrong that I am aware of.
What would you suggest my next move is?
Thank you
