After all my paranoia you were right about OH. She was very helpful
and not best amused when she realised my managers were using OH as a
threat and a punishment. She's writing to my manager to say I am
stressed and depressed but providing I am not harrassed or threatened
by anyone at work including management and supported then she is
hopeful things will resolve.

Have to go back on the 9th of March for a review of the situation but
she was really nice and not at all threatening

Oooh, good news! I hope this puts some sense into your manager and
she gets off your back!

Great news, Lesley. Employers do sometimes use being sent to Occupational
Health as a threat but I had a really positive experience from being sent
there. In fact the doc there was so appalled by what was going on at the
time that she sent a very strong letter to my employers, telling them to
address the bullying and my manager at the time got disciplined for it as
there was no reason, apart from that she disliked me as our politics were
not the same.
So it was a bad mark against her, not me.
She is well known as a bully. I lost count of the times I saw her staff in
tears.
At the time we were a generic team, adults/elderly and childcare with two
managers.
They were thinking about splitting the teams anyway, but before I could go
back there had to be a "risk assessment" Like what was the risk to me, my
mental health.
They split the teams earlier than planned, because of me and I went with the
childcare manager, who I got on with very well. Actually, I've never not
*got on* with a manager before or since..
It always used to be assumed that OH were on the employers side and they
would use them to get you out. Not so. OH is always your friend.

Let me know how it goes.

It did for me. The OH doctor's letter went to the top and it put them into a
real panic to see "you need to address bullying in the workplace"
especially by a manager.
I sometimes met this ex-manager in the corridor, I guess she'd been told to
be polite to me and she used to greet me. I hadn't been told to be polite
so I just curled my lip.
There is no excuse for bullying, especially from a manager who has
(allegedly) more power than you do. I'll never forget, or forgive what she
did. She bullied me into clinical depression.
I was taught about not abusing power many years ago. I guess she missed
that class.
I'm so glad I am not her. Her staff are afraid of her.

The doctor is sending her manager a copy of the letter- that should
help a lot!
