@D.A.F.C I confronted my management in a previous job, this is how it panned out.. I was really happy in my role, a mid management level position where I had a lot of freedom to implement my own styles and my department within a large oil & gas service company was making profit for the first time since it's beginning. This company is well known for buying smaller companies and integrating them with what they already have. So they bought out a rival company that carried out the same work as my department. The type of work I am involved in is quite niche and in this category most people know or have at least heard of everyone else. The company they bought were well known to be run by utter ball bags and a terrible employer. I personally knew a few of them coming on board and I was not happy. But being the professional I am, I thought this would be more daunting for them than me and welcomed them. I was given a new General Manager and a new European Operations Manager to answer to, their Workshop Manager that was in the same position as me, came along and was given a Foremans role answering to me. This was the start of the problem... They did not like my Management style at all, I like to think of it as quite relaxed and heavily safety focused thinking a lot of the workshop staffs wellbeing, as long as they were getting their getting jobs done safely and efficiently I did not have any issues, the workshop staff preferred it this way as I would let them sneak away early for things etc.. The big bosses were all happy with it too as there were no accidents and profits were up. These new guys had other ideas, telling folk that my regime would soon be over and things were going to change and be more disciplined, they were telling folk that thier guy was going to take over and force me out. An email sent in error to a co worker meant for their own group saying that this was not the way they operated and it was going to stop. It was a really depressing time, as I was being forced out from the job I once loved. So I couldn't take it anymore and went to HR with a copy of the email and all the witness statements. All 3 were binned within a month. Sadly it was too late for me as the love for job had gone, I moved on a couple of months after that. I was never one for confrontation but this had to stop, it was affecting my health and no job is worth that. I have since been asked back but I declined, more to do with travelling up to Aberdeen daily but it's good to know that I am still valued. If you can take anything from this then take the line in bold. Thank you.

Like @Bairnardo says, I think fight or flight is the only way for this. You owe these c***s f**k all. Do you think they would give a shit if you lost your job, got sacked or were forced to quit? Well it's time for you not to care if you upset them and take things to the top. How dare they make you feel that way at work.

Thanks @Melanius Mullarkey you c**t.

How did Meekings perform today?

27% of Express readers uk wide voted Yes in a poll. In the bag imo.

Most "Fort" cities are built on a hill. Why does that make it a scum city? Did you not like Lochee?

You are really bitter at this Yes city.

Its aktully short for johnnydungoodatskool You never no, we mite of even went to tha same skool in Aberdeen.

You have no idea what my IQ is.

Next time you see one of these "low IQ posters on absolute strings" be sure and point them out as I am yet to see one.

Thanks for the concern mate. I will try and get through this low point in my P&B career. Curse you Mintermallow!

Here you theres nae need for that. Lucky you have the bold Diego behind you. I know, I did feel a bit guilty posting that. Sorry. Diego has no beef with Falkirk, just Marshmallow.

He got my vote as Best Dundee United poster 2019 in the Championship Forum. Couldn't see the Falkirk option...
