I suffered a mental health crisis last year and had to take time off work to get treatment. It affected my work and day to day life pretty significantly (very noticeable). I definitely had to get treatment and was hospitalized. After coming back to work, I was treated differently by the management but not by my other coworkers (who welcomed me back). Management has now been cold to me, cutting me out emotionally, mentally, and even physically (they disabled my key fob so I am confined to one space where I have a key hard copy). Everytime someone from upper management comes by, they try to “quiz” me information about the job. I feel like they are trying to undermine me, cut me down, etc. Especially since I often get the answers right but they don't reply in the affirmative. They'll just pretend like they didn't know and that's why they were asking me. And then keep quiet. But of course they know! They know all the details of the field, and have multiple diplomas in it. Unlike me, I have a degree related to something entirely different.
Now they asked me a question I didn't know the answer to, and insinuated a safety concern. They basically made my supervisor ask me this question. I could tell she was nervous and embarrassed to ask, as she basically said “Boss told me to ask you as they didn't know the answer”. Come on!!! Why would the highest level of management want to ask me about this issue!! She should know due to regulations in the field! It is total B.S.!!
They don't communicate with me, to say anything positive. They only try to ask sly questions to get me to doubt myself. I need to stay strong. If I quit I won't get EI. So I need to find another job before I can quit or get fired.
I guess they are trying to get me to quit, since otherwise they would have to go through much in order to fire me without 3 or 4 months of compensation. Also it would have to get approved by other people…
TBH I'm so exhausted, stressed out and it is taking a toll on my mental health yet again. I know they are trying to fire me because of my (now treated) mental health condition. I feel so embarrassed trusting them last year when I was feeling down.
Let this be a lesson to all of you. They aren't your friends even if they pretend to care about you!
Please offer me some words of encouragement. I hope to look back on this one day and think, it had to happen, for my benefit. But it's just aonhard to see that now.
