Well, they are a temp who has been brought into the team to be the “acting team leader” however from the first day she’s been standing on my toes constantly, choosing to make an enemy of me for no reason – probably because she didn’t like the idea of someone much younger than herself with a better job. Either way she tried to get her hooks into my workload but I wouldn’t let her have anything to do with the training… so she bypassed the manager and went directly to HR spouting complaints about me and my working patterns (I have a measure of flexibility in start times because unlike the rest of the department i do not answer to the manager of the department, i answer directly to HR but regardless of the time I start I always put my 7.5 hours in each day, she tried her hardest to get me fired, by the time I picked up on what she was doing I was already being spoken to by HR regarding my job and work that she claimed was not kept upto date….
I told HR exactly whats been going on, she’s been coming in later and later but still leaving at 16:30 – fraudulent claims on her timesheets (that she gets a co-worker to complete for her so she can’t be caught on it – however she didn’t pay attention to her own workload and has been creating a lot of problems, sending out letters without clarification that it was ok to do so, to which point a person has actually gone to the courts under the discrimination act, affecting the whole department for her incompetence, I also brought up more of the faults she’s been creating to the attention of HR and the rest, as they say, is history. She’s being fired for fraudulent claims and not being able to fulfil expectations of the role.
Expecting masses of tears today, she’ll probably be on the mobile to her daughter as usual for 2 hours each day.
I don’t understand why people who live in glass houses even try to throw a stone at others, its never paid off once in the history of the world so why would it start now? All accusations of my workload where investigated and proven to be wrong, she had created a spreadsheet of her own and whilst mine is updated everyday she wasn't keeping a record of the changes so when she came to run reports from her spreadsheet it was so far out of date that she only ended up putting herself into further trouble.
As a caseload:
Fraudulent claims
spends hours each day on the personal mobile and expecting co-workers to pick up her work phone
racist comments in the workplace
slander and mocking of staff attending my training dates
sending out letters without authorisation, to deny staff members trying to join the trust
unapproachable and unprofessional conduct in the workplace
swearing during calls to the general public - affecting the departments image to the general public.
Not working to standard for the banding expectations
