Venting about work drama

Just want to vent a bit and get it off my chest.

Idk if im just being hormonal and overly emotional expecially being 8 month pregnant but i feel really down.

I moved to a whole new country and was excited to meet new people and make new friends since all my family and friends were back home. After about a year of working ive opened myself up and got hurt. Had a boss who acted like she was a friend overwork me while i was pregnant and ignored my risk assessments and had to spend 4 days in hospital for bleeding because i was straining at work when i wasnt supposed to be straining. She ignored my light duty requirements until i had no choice but report her, then 2 others essentially create a big drama situation for me (maybe unintentionally) by reporting to that manager (who pretends to be everyones friend) that i participated in spreading a rumour (which they said was a form of bullying) by telling them what i heard about the reason why another member of staff who hasnt been seen or heard of in a month maybe out of work. So now i look like a bully. She even said the big boss knows and hes related to that member of staff thats been off work!

Now im home on maternity leave and i go on my Facebook and see more drama from another coworker about coworkers not being your friends and all company isnt good company. I know its a subliminal comment but it was hurtful to me knowing i actually tried making friends here and said that many times to everyone i worked with that all my friends are back home and they were like my friends now.

I guess i should just not be so open and be more guarded. I feel stupid and i feel like a joke. I feel like because i reported my manager for overworking me while pregnant she used the bully angle against me in spite possibly

Sounds like the levels of toxicity in that place is quite petty. I hate workplaces like that. You know something ain’t right when the managers or owners keeping trying to befriend the team in that way. Major red flag. You can be nice and be a great employer without over asking from your employees. If they want to go above and beyond for you, they’ll do it out of their own will and you should rightfully be rewarded for it no matter how big or small. You’re going through the most amazing experience of creating another life, take your time to go through the remainder of your maternity to just chill. Do you! Work can come later. Hope you’ve got good people around you away from work. You got this!!

P.s fuck them petty bastards on Facebook.

@mynameisray thanks. Im going to have to transfer jobs anyways because when i get back from maternity i need to work closer to home and its an hour commute to where im working now from home so ill possibly never see them again anyways but it just stings a bit still, you know

@DarkSideoftheMoon oh that’s perfect! Yeah, definitely transfer closer to home. Nobody should have to put up with bullshit personalities at work, at the end of the day, we spend more time at work than anywhere else. Gotta make it comfortable.

Thats absolutely awful. Im really sorry
Maybe once youve had your baby its the time to rethink your work? That woman seems like she cant take the responsibility of being a manager. A manager needs to have broader shoulders and take the criticism. I always got told to challenge managerials decisions. As they dont do the work.

Sometimes its best to judge how people are. You get a good feeling of how they are to others

@Gangstress yeah. Its one of those situations where during lock down the employees were on furlough and found more reliable jobs elsewhere so the staff started working up the ladder and unfortunately some people got positions they werent fit for and this was part of the outcome.

I have to transfer anyways because we moved out by the country and its now over an hour commute to work so before i return to work i was going to put in for a transfer closer to home.

Ill definitely learn from this though and be more guarded

@DarkSideoftheMoon even if you adopt a guard. Dont lose who you are. Dont let them fuckers break you.
Glad youll be able to transfer sweet
