Further to our meeting, I wish to have these issues put on record.
When I started to work in the office as a sales assistant, I feel that I did a good job, especially as there was no hand over from MsX and no official training on the quote system. I hit my target for that time and coped well with MrS departure.
Since the change in management, I feel that my working conditions have been regularly affected. My working relationship with X has not been smooth, I feel she regularly undermined me in the office, and often brought the relationship to personal issues. On several occasions X?s attitude towards me within the office has upset me, she has called me ?thick? and ?lazy?.
I feel she has regularly showed lack of support towards me and favoured other staff over me. On one occasion X made me take a holiday when I needed to meet with my insurers to resolve a claim after a break-in, yet she allowed another employee to work from home under the same circumstances, something that was not offered to me. My personal appearance has been picked on regularly by X. I feel that X has also put me under pressure to break my parental commitments, I was asked to return to the office with my daughter so X could discuss some work issues out of work hours because she would not make time within the standard hours. X has often refused to speak directly to me in the office, sending curt emails and then shouting at me if I replied via email. There have been many more incidences where X?s attitude towards me have upset me and effected my working day.
Under X?s leadership we have lost good engineers, which will affect our customer services. We have lost several service contracts recently which has a huge bearing on what I can quote on, yet the branch target remains the same. I feel as if I am being punished for being unable to quote, when the loss of service contracts have been beyond my control.
I feel as if I am being used as a scapegoat for the branch issues and X's inability to reach her targets. I have highlighted in the past several issues to X (the new computer system did not come with quick quote so I was unable to perform my job) and offered solutions which she rejected. I offered to take the laptop home to quote in an evening once my daughter was in bed, but X refused to let this happen.
I have spoken with X in the past regarding the change in my job position. When I effectively took on MrS?s job this was not explained in full, X offered me a payrise to ?reflect my target? which I understood to be the increase in target from last financial year to this. It was not explained that it was specifically for taking on a higher role within the company, had I know what was involved, I would have refused as I was happy with the position.
