Hi everyone. Just wanting to post as I’m having a few problems at the minute. I started a new head of marketing job back in September last year. I passed probation in December and things were great. I came back in January and only 2 weeks ago was given a 5% pay rise. My manager the MD telling me he’s really pleased and well done. I then get called into a meeting on Monday morning after 2 days holiday to take my girlfriend away to York. He tells me I’m not performing, he’s been told by other managers I’m not doing my job and decides to put me on a 4 week performance plan. Basically trying to move mr out of the business. The things he raised have never been raised in my last review when I passed probation, no evidence and nothing recorded. He set me 6 tasks to complete by end of Feb, 2 of which I have no control over and it’s clear he wants me out. How can I go from a pay rise to that within 2 weeks. I have a long history of anxiety and depression and have been in some dark places over the past few years. I declared this when I started the job on my medical forms. No one in HR or senior management ever acknowledged my records. Never approached me to see if I might need help or additional support. Iv got progressively worse with my anxiety with the job and the way they have put so much pressure on me. Long days and nights working which has affected my relationships with family and friends. Haven’t been sleeping for weeks and just gone into my shell. I phoned my doctor first thing on Tuesday and broke down, he’s signed me off for 2 weeks and iv sent my signed doctors note to HR. I have had messages From my boss since asking if I want to rearrange meetings etc. just no support or care for my welfare.
I don’t want to go back. I have had to deal with a lot of politics in the job and it’s making ill. I’m off now until 13 Feb but I’m just not sure which way I go about this. They haven’t acknowledged my medical history which I thought long and hard about declaring before I started. Any help or advice would really mean a lot to me. Sorry for such a long post. Thank you
