About 4 years ago I started work for a large local organisation. After a short period of time, I was systematically bullied by the manager for about 16 months. At that stage, I went to HR and asked to be moved to a different section of the organisation. To cut a long story short, I was offered a move to a department 30 miles away. As a result of the bullying, I was on heavy medication and quite ill and I couldn't face driving such a distance. Therefore, I was forced to resign or be sacked. I resigned - that was about 2 years ago.
My health (mental and physical) continued to deteriorate and it was another year before I was able to start work again. I have now found out that the manager concerned is on paid leave as a result of a similar allegation from a member of staff.
I wonder if I could now take legal action against the company for the bullying at this stage and given that the organisation involved ? Or should I just let bygones be gone and be grateful that I am in a better place now.
