    Managerial harassment

    Hi, I have been signed off from work by my GP for stress and anxiety, this is the 3rd week now. Both of my sick notes were posted to head office. I have kept my team leader informed and hadn't received any contact from the company until today. At 8pm this evening out of the blue my manager phoned me. I have a company car and was visiting my parents, he asked why I was out in the car if I was supposed to be sick. I advised him that with the nature of the illness my gp said that it would do me no good just sitting in the house. He said that he wasn't happy with this and that I was taking the **** and that someone would be collecting the car from me tomorrow morning. I said ok as didn't want to get into any further discussion about it as felt myself getting anxious. He went on to say that he hadn't even received any sick notes from me. I advised him that I had sent 2 in, he said that this was Bull****! I replied that I wasn't lying and that I had posted 2 into him, one just over 2 weeks ago and one on Tuesday. I felt myself getting upset and I said that I can't speak to you now I will speak to you tomorrow. I don't feel that this was at all professional or appropriate, the thought of returning to work now is unimaginable. My manager has always been very formal with me but has never used language like this towards me, I'm really shocked.I'm wondering where to go from here, I just want to hand my notice in.

    Re: Managerial harassment

    Hi Sally
    Welcome to Legal Beagles.
    I'm really sorry to hear of your ill health. The way your manager is behaving is outrageous and harmful to your ongoing health and recovery.
    I'm replying from my phone so can't be as in depth as I'd like, but does your firm have a HR team? Is there a more senior manager you can deal with? This conduct merits a formal complaint.
    I'll be back online tomorrow to check your thread, I'm sure more people will assist then. In the meantime, try not to worry, his behaviour would be grounds for constructive dismissal given your health, so the law is on your side.
    Take care x Cel
    "Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin. For example, the pion is invariant under the restricted Lorentz group, but is an isospin triplet (meaning it transforms like a three component vector under the SU(2) isospin symmetry). Furthermore, it picks up a negative phase under parity inversion, so it transforms nontrivially under the full Lorentz group; such particles are called pseudoscalar rather than scalar. Most mesons are pseudoscalar particles." (finally explained to a captivated Celestine by Professor Brian Cox on Wednesday 27th June 2012 )

      How did the oaf know where the car had been?

      Is it fitted with a GPS tracker?

          Do not speak with your manager and if the manager starts to swear at you make sure every time you note down the content of the call. Ask him to put anything about the car in writing and that if he has not received sick notes to put it in writing(tell him the legal advice you have received has stated that he has to put it in writing).
