I am being treated unfairly at work, what can i do to bring my happiness back?

Question

Cut the long story short:
I feel like im being treated unfairly, because i have been in my job for 5 years. I am also part of the management team and have been for the last 3 years. we have had a few managers come and go in this time. This perticular manager, is offering other employers with less experience contracts behind my back and has been told not to mention to me. I applied for duty manager position 3 years ago, and someone else is doing it instead when they havent even applied for the position. My work colleague is being overly nice to my manager and vise versa so im wondering if there is something going on between. My work colleague that has been offered these contracts, sometimes treats me like rubbish and bosses me around. My work colleague always walks around like she owns the place..I told my manager how i felt about everything and he didnt take into account how upset i felt about feeling pushed out and how unfair he was being for not treating me withrespect. I need help as in what can i do to bring my happiness back into my work place.

Answer 1

Unfortunately there is little from a legal angle that you can do. Grievance procedures work best when they focus on a specific event, and in any case they often poison what relationships remain (sad but true). Here there is no 'one thing' so much as a general feeling of unequal treatment. Others may see it differently.



Maybe try a charm offensive rather than acting the victim, though I know that's easier said than done. See if you can become more friendly with your perceived rival; she may just be insecure herself.



Good luck, and welcome to YA!

Go to HR tell them how you feel.If that doesnt work...



Dont be afraid to look for a new job give them two weeks and find a refreshing new start.
