Unbelievable!!

[Katz101]

I'm sharing this because I've been blown away by what has happened to me at work today.

I've been in my job for about 7 years now, and my OCD has NEVER been a problem, if anything, it works me being there, it works to my strength. I've worked and adjusted to all types of personalities, even when I know what they think of me, I'm not stupid. This brings me to sharing this with you guys, I feel it's so important, because if you experience the same.....

For the last two months I've been working along side with a seasonal worker, hard working, fun, honest, and a new manager, who came across as team worker!! that didn't want the job!! was nervous, and had big issues, and very different views on life from my own views!! But I put them all aside and did what I could to make her feel confident and comfortable, but I wasn't getting any place, but ended up with a mega work load, and so did the seasonal worker, and I thought, I'll start looking after myself, because this boss was making snide remarks to me Infront of everyone if I forgot something!! And there was loads of stuff like this going on, so I thought I'll put my head down and get on with it, and it was then that the seasonal worker started to say she felt the same, I thought I need to stand up, and arranged for a meeting with the big bosses, after that, they said they would train the new manager up, and things were good for a day, just a day. I started to get paranoid I was not coping with my OCD and at work I was noticing that all my jobs had been undone, and when I talk about anything, something wasn't right!!!

The seasonal worker today said, I need to speak to you, the new manager has been making fun behind your back, and making you out to be stupid, and I'm not doing my job right, and trying to get the other staff to make fun and mock my OCD......😰😰😰😰

I have done nothing but bend over backwards to make life easier for her, even got the big bosses to train her up because I thought I was doing a bad job.... So, I made a stand, the seasonal worker is a diamond, and went to the big bosses and said, I've been diplomatic, but now it's personal, this is out of my hands, the big bosses actually hugged me and said this isn't right.

"WHY" why did another human being want to do something like that, I had so much empathy for her, and I'm still stunned.

I'll keep you guys with what happens next, because I need to face this tomorrow. I've been on the longest walk ever today, and I'm spiking like mad, but I'm staying focused, I'm doing the right thing.

Hi Katz101 I hope your feeling ok right now

Please try to think of this woman the way we're all learning to think of OCD on here, as a bully

Treat her exactly the same way

Don't react, let her know your bothered or give her a second thought x hopefully your boss will sort this out x I know its very hard but don't let this ignorant, narrow minded individual upset you x I can only imagine that she's jealous of you because you're lovely x

[Katz101 in reply to Shutterislandnel]

Thank you Xx

You've helped me detached myself from feeling responsible for her. And what you've wrote has also helped me to see the whole thing for what it is, bullying.

The intrusive thoughts are flooding in, and doubts are trying to get its hooks in, but I'm batting them away.

That's why I'm sharing my journey with this forum, because OCD isn't keeping me quite anymore, hear me roar OCD...

I think I'll go and buy myself a lion bar tomorrow.

Thanks again. Xx

Hi Katz - I am so sorry you have been going through this. That bully took advantage of your kindness. Everyone knows what type of person she is. Don't let her shake you.

[Katz101 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks guys, I'll not lie, I feel sick today, I hope the woman is paid off.

I really hope I have good news later. I've been driving myself demented with what if..... 🤢🤢🤢

[lelote in reply to Katz101]

No doubt about it. Pure bullying! Exactly like a living OCD. Lies and humilating tantrums!!!!

[lelote in reply to lelote]

Keep your faith Alive! Be wise. Give the bully a lesson.

[Katz101 in reply to lelote]

Yeah, you know when it's bad when you ask to go and see a therapist again because your losing it again!!! She really hoodwinked me good and proper.

The good news the woman did get paid off, and people from my work came up to me, folk that don't really know me, saying so sorry you went through that, and actually hugged me too.

All I will say is, I'm glad I'm not her, and I don't know what it's like to that kind of person.

[Wheeloffortune]

You are so brave!! It really sucks that you did the right thing and got blamed for it😓😓 it shows how strong you are and what a good worker and employee you are!!!

I will pray for you!! Of course your ocd will be trying to trick you but know you are doing the right thing!!! Hugs💖

[Katz101 in reply to Wheeloffortune]

Thank you everyone, thank you thank you.

It's been a really hard day, the boss got the sack, I truly feel it for her, because I know her day is a dark one. She blamed us to the end, and I got a text saying you must be happy now, she'll never know how far from the truth her comment is.

I'm also having to deal with myself! and very overwhelmed by the support I've got from here and at my work. I'm truly grateful.

Thank you for your prayer Wheeloffortune. 😘

[Wheeloffortune in reply to Katz101]

Well there you go!! You were right!! You know now that your ocd will throw this right back in your face. It’s ok to feel sorry for your boss but you ARE NOT responsible for her behavior!! Your ocd might make you feel like you’ve ruined her life. I’ve had a similar situation that I’m coming out of. OCD gave me hell about it for a couple of weeks, but I’m out of the dysfunctional work environment and am better than ever!! It still tries to tell me I’ve ruined everyone’s life, but I just do erp around it.

Well done 🎉🎉 you have suppport here!!

[Katz101 in reply to Wheeloffortune]

Thank you, and you have my support too. 😊

[Hidden in reply to Katz101]

Hi Katz - We are very sensitive people, but with a little time you should get to feeling better about things. I feel sorry for the next people who might have to work with that woman. Maybe she will grow up some, hopefully.

[Katz101 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah, I'm still calming down. And I hope so, she'll not get away with it.

[reshon]

Good job always stand up for what you believe in and no one has the right to make fun of you or your OCD or anyone else that may have a handicap of sort, clearly not mature enough to be a manager.

[Katz101 in reply to reshon]

This woman is in her late 50s!!! and has a family, the mind boggles. There was no way I could sit back. It was my sanity on the line!!

[reshon in reply to Katz101]

Amazing. You don't even need to explain yourself for being "normal'"she clearly has the "issue."

[On_Or_Off]

I'm sorry you're going through this at your job.

[Katz101 in reply to On_Or_Off]

Things are a lot better now, we're all pulling together at work. So here hopes that the next person is a team player.
