I work in Md. for a multi-billion dollar company. The pay is good, good hrs, and good benefits. I have the most seniority of the 3 ladies I work with. I think my management has other ideas for my position and since I cant work either of the other two shifts for various reasons I feel my manager and supervisors are trying to push me out of the position in hopes that I quit. I have been with the co. for almost 9 yrs. and have seen how they much rather pressure a person into quitting then fire them. So for the past yr. 1/2 my manager/supervisors have been putting on the pressure, which after that much time I'm finding very difficult to bare anymore. I have been written-up for things not worth the time and paper its written on. Lied about and without the right that I have requested to approach my offenders and discuss in the presence of my mgr. to clarify truthful details on my behalf. They've schemed to leave me to run a center of about 70 drivers by myself without proper help and most of the time the work load is so much that by the end of my shift I am still working on things that I am told I cant get help on or leave until they are done. If something is forgotten the lady from the next shift is surely to pass the info on to my mgt as incomplete only to get another write-up and verbal chastization to go along with it. I have explained the work load they have me doing is much more than anyone else in the bldg. is required to do without help and more than any reasonable person can do. I have tried to improve in any area that might help make my job easier and satisfy them, but because of the damand they expect of me on a daily bases is too much I have explained I am and will continue to do my best, but they have repeatedly want more and I feel they provide a hostile environment to go with it. My supervisors over me rarely if ever offer to lend a hand even when they clearly see I am overwhelmed and becoming very stressed. They just act like they don't notice and refuse to offer guidance or help. Only to find any errors about brought back up to me later. They sometimes snap at me for no reason hoping to intimidate me. One time when I was brought in the office for something, I was about tired of hearing what I wasn't doing to their expectation. I have requested to be watched by another supervisor impartial to the center; who for 2 days noted every move I made (Which might I add is to work in front of a computer continually communicating with drivers, answ. 2 phones, and solving constant problems and only leaving to use the bathroom usually once a day. This is my normal routine) and in a meeting with the mgr. HR. and the observer her final verbal conclusion has noted me to be very efficient. But later on paper it was not noted as such somehow her opinion changed to the company's behalf. And they continue to find something else to complain and make my day miserable with. I know that I am the kind of person who puts my all in my work and gives no less of myself, therefore, I have stated to them on many, many occasions that I they truly feel I am not reaching their expectation and think that I am not working at an acceptable level, to replace me or leave me alone. I don't know how much more I can take I have told them this has been going on for more than a yr. now. It is well beyond a reasonable time in which they need to make a decision whether to keep me or not. I feel I am being harassed and ask to be left alone. They have not heeded to my request. As a result of this I have been having many symptoms of stress related to the job and mgt. pressure. I requested a copy of my file and all write-ups and complaint there in. With much resistance from them I was able to get my file and was very upset that there were accusations that were never brought to my attn. things that were written about me that were not completely true. (a construed truth.) When I ask to allow a meeting with my mgt. and the accuser over a three way call to discuss the incident to verify the fact and clarify the truth, my right was denied. I am not trying to say that I don't make mistakes because I know that I forget some things to do, but with the work load that I have on me almost everyday I tend to forget things. I have been feeling so stressed about all of this that it has effected my personal life with my family. I cry a lot, I wake during the night and unintentionally think about work than I cant fall back to sleep, I am aggravated at things and people for reasons I normally don't let bother me, I have a hard time lately concentrating at work, my verbal speech sometime doesn't come out right, i begin to stutter some of my phrases, I never had that problem before. memory loss due to info. overload, and the end of the day I sometimes cant explain to the other lady what occurred throughout the day in a clearly expectable way until I have walked away from the job long enough to clear my mind. There has even been some cases that when I under a lot of stress that I feel a slight ache in my heart area. What am I to do? Yesterday the work load was so overwhelming, there was no one who would or either could help me with some pretty serious situations. I am in a position of authority, as a part time sup. being under some much stress my thoughts locked up and I couldn't make a decent decision. I felt so useless. I always felt I could do anything once I put my mind to it. But this co. is stripping me of my will, pride, and confidence that I was hired with. I have had enough they wont leave me alone, fire me, or replace me. I not only want my job but I want to be compensated for all the mental anguish they put me through. Regardless of the write-ups because they are not willing to take a position here to replace or leave me along as I have requested many times and this has been going on for over a yr. now...Do I have a case to sue. I intend to sue this huge company to the max for what they are putting me through and as long as I am there they will continue it, but I refuse to give up my job that took me many hard working year to get.
