Bad treatment at work.

OAP - Older Autistic Person
over 1 year ago

I was assaulted and verbally abused at work last week. I contacted my supervisor and communicated I was struggling with Autistic meltdown as a consequence. I was given permission to go home. A supervisor got another staff member to complete my jobs that day.

The supervisor told the other staff member I'd had a nervous breakdown and gone AWOL. This was then passed on to members of the public who are my customers.

I think this is breach of trust, defamatory, and discriminatory use of language about autism. Police informed about the assault. Union informed about the work stuff.

The only reason I discovered this was an abjectly humiliating conversation with a customer on the Monday, who was surprised to see me, as the customer had been informed of my "nervous breakdown / AWOL / incommunicado," and was very concerned for my welfare.

My manager has refused to tell me which supervisor and which other staff member said these things to my customers. Now I'm unable to trust ANY of the supervisors/staff. I have instead received an aggressive email from my manager because I wanted to know who the culprits are.

Reflections on this situation?

    I was in a similar situation as was bullied and missed treatment. The supervisor had favoritism as asked any spare hours going and told me none. Another colleague asked if there was any spare hours going and said yes. Me and a colleague said that the supervisor had got favoritism co workers. I got blamed for anything. Once there was a bad odour and thought was me, in fact came from the bins. Phoning up co workers saying you're not required. Got the  impression that coworkers saying I was lying to  people about going below contract hours. In the end had to leave and handled my notice badly. Unfortunately 10 days later and 4 months later tried to beg me to return.

    Speak to acas, citizen advice and last resort make a GP appointment. Can you take a day's/week leave? I used to do this. I wanted to stay if things were better organized. "You could write a book. "

    Now trying to rebuild my life by finding a new group. Do different types of things.
