I have an appraisal coming up though, and I'm concerned that they may try to ambush me there. I've familiarised myself with the grievance procedure and had a long chat with my union rep.<br /><br />My employer is acustomed to people who have never worked anywhere else or in any other industry and who are meek and maleable. I by contrast am a dotcommer.

I know how one can affect the other.<br /><br />I have no idea about what to say for the work problems, I can only go with the "Don't let yourself be bullied"<br /><br />HR should be able to see that there is a problem. As you say you don't go from being a very good employee to not being able to do anything right overnight. Outside of the transsexual angle they should be looking into this anyway from a personality clash point of view. And any manager should be professional enough to put a personality clash to one side when looking at performance.<br /><br />Good luck,<br />Stace <br />Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-70950132028941371802014-01-26T01:16:34.688+00:002014-01-26T01:16:34.688+00:00Humans!

This for me is a real nuisance because that is my most comfortable position but in less than a minute I can feel the first bad signs...<br /><br />See your doc and get some long term meds, I have one lansoprazole capsule each morning which does the trick, there is a whole family of them, omazaprazole worked for a while, if one does not work try another.<br /><br />Gaviscon advance chewable tablets taken when you feel symptoms, made form seaweed apparently and settles on stomach contents as a film to control things quickly, hardly ever use them now.<br /><br />Tackle it before it gets you voice.<br /><br />As for unprofessional supervisor, seems like they might be shooting themselves in the foot by messing with someone they can't bully.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133031265351841626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-10821560054247844642014-01-25T21:41:47.570+00:002014-01-25T21:41:47.570+00:00Dear Jenny, I'm not going to speculate on the ...Dear Jenny, I'm not going to speculate on the link between your health problems and the obvious stress at work. It sounds to me, though, that you're doing all the right things to resolve the situation. But as someone who is going through her own health scare right now, I just wanted to offer you my sympathy, my love and my best wishes for the future.<br /><br />Angie xAngie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882779021382371603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-52564390846120068022014-01-25T20:57:03.068+00:002014-01-25T20:57:03.068+00:00Sorry to learn that you are suffering from reflux ...Sorry to learn that you are suffering from reflux and insomnia Jenny. I too suffer from both these things occasionally and it isn't nice. As for the work situation I am glad to learn that you are not prepared to be at the receiving end of any kind of maltreatment. Without any obvious homophobic leanings it is difficult to point the finger directly at any individual but it sounds like the atmosphere is getting decidedly acidic just like the reflux! It could be, though I am not suggesting it is, that the new manager knows he hasn't got a leg to stand on if it ever came to light that you were the victim of homophobic treatment on his behalf. By making you feel uncomfortable he might think you'll walk out of your own accord if indeed he is the source of the problem. You are not about to do that though are you? Hope you are feeling better soon, on both fronts.<br /><br />Shirley Anne x Shirley Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11697497719791327675noreply@blogger.com
