I'm so disappointed and frustrated and fed up.
I called one of my friends at work today to see how she was because she wasn't in work. She was fairly short on the phone so I asked her was she alright. Well I wasn't one bit prepared for the torrent of abuse. Apparently I had no right whatsoever to let management know about people gossiping about my complaint about my superior!!
I told her I had to because under the policy at work it is dealt with if he can prove that I spread the gossip or even if I knew about it and said nothing it could lead to the whole investigation collapsing and I would face disciplinary action. Apparently I am selfish and only think of myself for letting management know and it wasn't that big of a deal and I should have minded my own business.
It was a big deal......it led to all of upper hospital management having an emergency lengthy meeting that went on til way past on a Friday evening. I was quizzed on anyone I would have told about the complaint and what I would have said to them.
So this person that I was really close with told me she wants nothing to do with me again and that she was done with me.
I felt so awful. I tried to explain everything to her. I didn't even throw it back at her that she confirmed the rumours to someone even though it wasn't her place to at all. I never once told her off for that.
So result....me in a complete and utter state for a solid 2 hours. This is my first panic attack in months. I think I am at the stage were I have to look after me and take sick leave. Not sure if I can handle the stress any longer. Need to chill at home, watch bad daytime TV, read books and play with the dog and cat.
Hopefully I can get a doctors appointment in the morning.
