    The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul.

          From your recent posts, you've been through stressfull times. You seem to be very supportive to your family and extended family. Do you have someone able to support you?

                  This is what Happened; it was just after midnight I work 8pm till 7am at this time only 2 staff are on the tills but lots of staff filling shelves etc, we only have 4 self service tills open so I am watching these and getting cigerettes from behind the counter ( a short distance )which you have to open the shutter get gigs close shutter, A customer comes in and says there is a fight outside where is sercurity, he had gone on his rounds and was upstairs, in my panic and trying to do half a dozen jobs, I said the wrong thing over the tanoy and I knew as soon as the words came out it was wrong, the sercurity guard came running as well as most of the other workforce, ( it was quite funny ) then one of the managers asked me if it was me who put the message out 'yes' she had a right go at me in front of staff and customers even though I appoligised but I also said that I was on my own and trying to do half a dozen jobs if we got more back up it might not have happened, she continued having a go at me, I moved away a few steps so she came from in front of me and still went on, so I said thats enough you are always saying Im doing wrong in front of customers as its not the first time usually over silly things like if I call for help when we get busy its wrong if I dont call its wrong etc., and you seem to have a problem with me, I'm not staying here if you continue then I am going home she did,so I walked away to the far end of the store clocked out and walked back past her, she was on the phone watching me leave, no one tried to stop me or ask me to have a chat with them about what had happened.
                  No one phoned me yesterday, we went shopping there last night no one spoke to me about it or asked me to come in next week, there might be a letter in the post.
                  OH didnt say anything much but he knows this woman has been picking on me for a few months, he asked me what was I going to do and I said go to the job center next week, I think he feels guilty about our row, he bought daughter a new bike yesterday even though its not her birthday they go riding together a lot and hers is too small, and payed for some bits for her school uniform. Nothing more has been said abou he row by eiher of us.
                  With all that has happend over the last 12 months its the last thing on my mind I dont care about my job in that way I dont want responsibilty at work now, been here done that got the t shirt.
                  Wach this space.

                    Maybe you could send a letter in to the management to say that this woman has made your life hell- and give all the examples you can remember, and who witnessed them ( and approx dates) and say that the last occasion was just too much for you. Say you've not packed in your job but are waiting to hear what the management are going to do about it, otherwise you'll consider going down the route of constructive dismissal.
                    Don't see why this woman should stay in her job and you miss out financially.
                    Nip into Citizan's Advice - or better still- if you are part of a Union, get them to advise you.
                    If you've already complained about something similar in the past, then Management should be really worried.
                    Bullies like that woman shouldn't be allowed to get away with such behaviour and shouldn't be in a position of authority without adequate training to realise the consequences of her appalling behaviour.

                    Even if you don't want to return to work, there may be some financial recompense for you..and more importantly ( for those who will continue to work there) better staff training and adequate staffing levels.

                    A subject a bit too close to my heart and it makes me more than furious when management allow situations to continue when bullying,inadequate training, and lack of staff ( saving them money) is an easier option for them. It is not legal and they should be rudely awakened to the fact.
                    Rant over....good luck with whatever you decide to do...and well done for standing up for yourself!

                      i agree with nicos and although you may be feeling a bit like 'at least i'm out' and perhaps like you just want to leave it you should try and know that there may be something in it for you, keep us updated and good luck

                        jackie - I agree with nicos and rainbowbrite. The woman acting inappropriately towards you is bullying. She should not be dealing with you in this manner in front of staff or shoppers. She is totally in the wrong.

                        It might be worth putting your brief thoughts / facts in writing to their Head Office and sending it by recorded delivery just to ensure they can't say they haven't received it.

                        Sincere best wishes

                          I too agree with Nicos. Have you made, or could you make any notes about her bullying with different dates and instances. This vile woman needs removing and the company(is it Tescos by any chance? the vultures that they are) needs reprimanding. I have had a go at a manager in there for bullying a member of their staff in front of me - I myself have been subjected to bullying in the past, it isn't pleasant but what goes around comes around. Seek legal advice, get to the doctor and obtain written medical evidence of stress - get her or she will continue to do the same to someone else. also, please remember that bullying usually happens to strong people who are a threat to the position of others.
