Ashley asks :

Hi Lucy,

I've being working for this company the past year and a half. It has being an absolute nightmare I was sexually harassed and groped and ignored by other women. I was moved and for a while I was happy until a new supervisor arrived and she is making my life hell. She's remarking how posh I am calling me up to her office all the time over stupid stuff. She treats me so different to other people she looks at me like I'm dirt sometimes it's making me so unhappy I'm so stressed out most days I cry in work. I don't know why she's like this like I done nothing wrong. I'm 22 with a 2 year old boy renting and saving for college. This girl has no communication skills. I don't want to go back to the manager and ask to be moved again. Please help

Given how long you spend at work, it's an awful shame that you cry most days and have endured a lot of trouble during your working hours.

Perhaps asking the manager to be moved again is not the answer but maybe looking for a new job altogether is. It sounds like you have moved around a lot in your job and most of the positions have not suited you. This might have nothing to do with the job but the people who you are surrounded by- especially your supervisor. Maybe start looking for similar roles elsewhere and leave it all behind you.

Alternatively, could you speak to her boss and tell them how her treatment is affecting you? If she has no communication skills then perhaps her manager does and will be able to relay the message to her that the way she is treating members of her staff is not acceptable.

Have you spoken to her directly about the way she is treating you? Perhaps if you told her and she suspected that you are going to speak to her manger then she might change her attitude. Perhaps no one has pulled her up on the way she speaks to people before and does not know how her behaviours is affecting you all day to day. If you are open and honest with her then perhaps she might surprise you.
