Hi there. I'm a little surprised I can't seem to find more information or first-hand accounts of this on reddit.
Long story short, I spoke to my closest coworker in confidence about another coworker harrassing me but they ended up getting reported to hr against my wishes. When my manager was notified, he lashed out, saying I framed him as negligent, even though that was not my intention.
Since then, the manager has been retaliating. I don't want to go into great detail to preserve my anonymity, but he has gone out of his way to reject things along the lines of sick leave, promotions, bereavement leave, lunch breaks, etc., along with extreme micromanaging and yelling at me in the office.
I enjoy my company and am looking to see if other opportunities are available, but am seeking advice on 1. How to handle retaliation and 2. Internal transfers without my manager finding out?
