Returned from leave to this email. 


"
Welcome back from leave. I hope you are feeling 
well rested. 

I'm going on leave for 2 weeks but when I'm back 
from leave i'd like to catch up with you about (1 ) 
the incident prior to the Christmas holidays when 
you suggested you weren't happy here (or words 
to that effect) and needed some mental health 
leave (2) how your mental health is now (3) 
reports I have received that when you left here 
prior to the latest holidays you similarly indicated 
that you were not entirely happy here, and (4) 
separate reports you have made to HR that you 
do not feel supported in your role and what 
specifically you feel you are missing / needing. 

Xxx or xxxxx will send an invite. I have asked 
Katrina from HR to be present for the meeting. 

In the meanwhile, if you have any concerns about 
your work at xxx I ask you to direct them to 
Xxxx, HR or xxx in the first instance rather than 
to other staff in xxxx. 

Best regards, "

This was from my managers manager.

He wanted to meet before i went on leave, he knows how to push buttons trigger me.

I actually ended up almost topping myself at the thought of returning to work so have gone on stress leave, plan on resigning. Have linked in with counselling and psych.

Have been in a hugely stressful middle management position for a few years, no supports. Constent stress, work in health, lots of violence and aggression, death threats etc.

This manager is a doctor, has been unpleasant since day one even though he is barely there and we all burnout doing his job.

What would you do?
