I felt I was bullied by two of my line managers. Most of it was behind closed doors in one to one meetings. I felt controlled, belittled, singled out and constantly criticised at work. The managers had failed me, yet I was given the poor performance grade. I did not raise a complaint either time, as HR advised against it and being a subordinate and weakened by the ordeal I didn’t have the strength. Applying for jobs internally or externally when you are anxious and feel inadequate is a non-starter. I experienced depression for the first time and felt forced to leave. The day I left was the day I got my life back.
Previous to Experian, I have always worked in environments where I have been treated like a professional, supported and trusted, enabling me to achieve the potential I am capable of. I hope I will never experience anything like this again.
