Hi guys,
I'm looking for a bit of advice as there was a bit of an issue at work today.
I'm a lifeguard and while scrubbing changing room floors today I had a minor hypo. I didn't test though I just went and grabbed my protein shake and banana. The carbs in the shake being adequate enough to fix it.
My line manager decided no one should ever be in the staff room unless they are on a break. This is fine, but I couldn't help it. He decided to come over and tell me he was going to discipline me. I told him I was having a hypo but instead of just leaving it at that he made up some **** about me lying to him about being in the changing rooms when I wasn't. I had simply said we were "way ahead of him" when he asked if we had started cleaning.
I feel this was so he could get me for something as he is on a bit of a power trip. He also accused me of leaving the cleaning cupboard door open when I didn't and has "made it his goal to get me sacked" which I think was because I was sticking up for myself. I told him I was going to take out a grievence and take it to the facility manager but he has a lot more power and influence than me. He told me to just remember who Is in the management team.
I may have also told him he was a poor manager but this was in private and I was angry.
He was quite aggressive from the minute a started to defend myself.
I'm worried this is going to go a lot further than it needs to and I'm going to end up out of a job. I just want it all to be dropped and forgotten about.
All advice is much appreciated
Thanks
