This is a bit of a brain dump, no need to respond, but it helps me get this out of my head.Today we finally got proof positive that our administrative manager is a persistent bully, who has been seriously compromising the mental health of one staff member. I had strong suspicions on the matter, but always felt I could not press the matter without better evidence than I had. To my knowledge we have had two staff leave as a direct result of her behaviour. Now we need to go through a process of dealing with her and the problems she is causing, and because we are a state sector employer, we will have to go the whole HR/capability route. Needless to say this is extra stress we don’t need.Worst thing: she is a survivor of abuse. Her coping strategy, to victimise others she sees as weaker than herself.
