I’ve been working on an on-going assignment with a guy that’s abusive, manipulative and passive-aggressive. He’s been there for a long time and gets along great with the manager. He has made my life miserable - sabotaged me, lied to me, lied about me, refused to train me but lied about doing it, verbally abusive, sexual harassment etc. Management essentially blamed me and acted as if I was “too sensitive”. This has been happening since I started. Other employees have even talked to management about how the guy treats me.
Since management refused to act, I decided to stop being a “team player” with the guy, and ignored any requests from him. I did this for one week. Management pulled me into a meeting with the guy, they basically “put me in my place” by letting me know that the guy would oversee my performance in another assignment. They implied that I would be removed from that other assignment next month. The person I work with on the assignment I’m being removed from is one of the people that stood up for me.
I hate this so much. I’m looking for another job. But the situation makes me so mad. It is humiliating and dehumanizing. At least I’m old enough and with enough life experience that I know this is NOT my fault. I’m still angry at myself for not having found a new job yet.
I hate being at the mercy of men that abuse their power.
Basically, I’m being punished by management for protecting myself against the man abusing me at work.
How do minimize how this situation affects my mental and physical health? I need to keep it together while job hunting.
