I'm trying to prepare for a two hour conversation tomorrow with one of my managers where I need to somehow convince him of a number of problems, including the fact that the management team employs gaslighting behaviours without even realising it. Supposedly, concerns are supposed to be reported and investigated. But I've already had one chat and without even looking at any of the evidence, he was already making excuses on their behalf and telling me that I'm creating problems where there are none - Which is Gaslighting.

I don't have high hopes for this meeting tomorrow

Best of luck. Keeping my fingers crossed that they listen and it goes well.

My experience of conversations like this is that I think I've made a breakthrough and all of a sudden something will happen where it's back to square one. Folk can be over-diplomatic even when the concerns are real or can adopt a defensive posture when a better approach could be taking time to see things from someone else's' point of view. It's quite a step for some managers/leaders to admit "actually we didn't get that right".

It's an on-going thing though.... I'm still navigating which things I need to call out and which things I can probably let slide.
