Are suspensions normally reported in the paper round your way? Seems very unusual to me.I am inclined to agree with you that I should just forget about the whole episode, which, to be honest, I had done until I read in the paper that the manager was suspended for the same thing again
Are suspensions normally reported in the paper round your way? Seems very unusual to me.
On the other hand, some family and friends are pressing me to take legal action (as they witnessed first hand the toll it took on me).
Ignore them. They are advising out of a sense of fairness but they have absolutely no idea what legal action involves in practice. Only take legal advice from a legal expert, and one with expertise in similar employment cases at that.
. While you have been wronged from a moral perspective, I have serious doubts that there is any legal remedy, in which case it's far better for you to move on with your life and try to forget about it; it seems that you had done so until this article appeared in the newspaper so ignore this new information and continue on with your life.

I started my second part-time job with new employer on Friday, so today was my second day working there. I have now been told that they can't keep me on as they couldn't get a reference from my previous employer and that I was over-qualified! So in fact, the actions of this person are still coming back to haunt me - I needed this job so much, both financially and from a confidence point of view.
I am sitting at home now in tears as I write this, wondering what I am going to do next i.e. will I ever be able to get a decent job again. I feel desperately angry as I had an impeccible work record until I went to work for that organisation. Now, more than ever, I feel I should take legal action - whereas last night I was ready to just let it go.
You said to your HR manager that you were being discriminated against. Just looking at the list below of "what is bullying" I don't see the term "discrimination".
Is it possible that another individual is taking a case against your ex manager for bullying and you have changed your mind about your own situation on reflection? Or is bullying the new "in" thing to complain about?.
- Humiliation - including name-calling or teasing about doing well at school
- Intimidation - including aggressive body language
- Verbal abuse - to someone?s face or behind their back
- Physical abuse or threatened abuse - such as hitting, pushing or kicking
- Aggressive or obscene language - including sexual references
- Offensive jokes - spoken or in writing, by e-mail or text messages
- Victimisation - picking on someone, including making very personal remarks
- Exclusion and isolation - deliberately leaving people out of activities
- Intrusion - such as interfering with belongings or locker
- Repeatedly giving someone the same unfavourable tasks
- Repeated unreasonable deadlines or tasks
- Threats - including demands for money
- Attacks on someone's reputation - for example by rumour, gossip, innuendo or ridicule
Rois, I completely understand you wanting revenge and you were treated badly but you freely admit you made mistakes in dealing with the situation yourself. Think long and hard before you pursue it. It's not going to be a pleasant process. That said, it could be a wake-up call to the company and it might ensure they take future cases more seriously. Good luck with whatever you decide.
