I work in an office of 20 people & out of the blue I received an email from HR stating they want to meet individually with the entire team to discuss our work environment. I have worked for this company for over 10 years and nothing like this has ever happened. Four people have quit this year & the last one who left tried to have an honest conversation with my boss & it turned into a screaming fight. Mind you this is in a Internal Medicine office space. I have a feeling someone higher up finally made a complaint about my boss. I want to voice my complaints while maintaining anonymity & truly making a change after the meeting.
My boss is very manipulative, passive aggressive & 100% a micromanager. Our team is made up of people in their 30s-40s, but it feels almost like high school. The whole team gets along great but my boss almost turns us against each other. If you do something they don’t like they will straight up
ignore you and give you the cold shoulder for days. Like won’t even say hello back to you in the morning. We are understaffed & everyone works very hard- most days over our lunch break. They also complain that they are doing so much more work than everyone & it just kinda sucks. Lately they have been extremely over the top nice & I have a feeling it’s because they know everyone is going to talk to HR next week. The work place has become toxic. I have looked for other positions & I know my co workers are in the same boat. My shift also changes out of the blue. I have been getting ready to leave my apartment and got a text that was like change of plans your shift is now 10am-6pm instead of 8am-4pm. I feel like I am always on call.
I know this meeting is to discuss my boss and what’s been going on. I want to let it all out there that they make the work environment horrible, but I’m also nervous. I have a huge fear that my boss will retaliate after the whole team meets with HR & I really don’t want my day to day job to be even worse. What do I say to HR & what do I leave out? How do I convey my experience without getting myself into trouble?
