Bullying At Work: Marie's Story

Recently I had a beautiful young lady, come to see me for help. She explained that after leaving Uni there were no jobs available so she had been out of work for many months.

Having undertaking a job under a government scheme she then secured a full time position and had been working at her new job for a few months, successfully completing her 3 month probation and was due for a wage increase. However she had noticed that her boss had a sarcastic sense of humour and could be moody. Within a short time, he began to make inappropriate comments about what and how much she ate and drank and that she should join a gym. 'Work related stress'

As a result Marie didn’t want to go into the office and became emotionally and physically run down as the negative comments increased. A month later she was called into the office and told that she was being made redundant as her boss had decided that he no longer needed anyone to undertake the social media work. She was told that she needed to to work a 4 week notice. A few days later, however a sign was placed in the window of the office essentially advertising what was her role. Naturally really upset her and she was made to show candidates round when they attended for interview. Marie worked for two weeks but the atmosphere and comments became intolerable. She became very unwell and her GP signed her off work with ‘work related stress” for her last two weeks.

Bullying in the work place is very common

I initially advised Marie to see an employment solicitor as she may have a claim for unfair dismissal for the bullying treatment which she was considering. I worked with Marie on her anger and sadness as a result of the bullying treatment and then we did further work on her self esteem, confidence and not feeling good enough. Bullying in the work place is very common. There are many narcissistic managers who get there kicks out of hurting and demoralising others. This is not ok. Give me a call I can help you regain your self esteem, confidence and self worth.

Advertisement Feature Do you own a conservatory not fit for purpose?

There are literally many 1000’s of home owners throughout the UK who own a conservatory, it is without doubt that a high majority are totally inefficient during the summer and winter months.

Is this you, do you own a conservatory that is really not fit for purpose? A high number of conservatories installed during the late 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s will have a polycarbonate roof. A roof with no insulation value and virtually zero protection from direct sunlight. This gives you a room which is far too hot during summer and has a fridge effect in winter. You also have a roof which is difficult to keep clean as well as being a haven for insects.

The frustrating thing for many owners is that the conservatories are in a satisfactory condition, all double glazed with many years of life to offer. More and more home owners are opting to have a more thermally efficient roof installed.

High-Tech have the perfect solution. A very popular option is to create a thermally efficient sky room by removing the existing roof. A timber frame roof will be constructed to building regulation standard. Timber joists are then reinforced to accept a glass lantern or flat roof light. Treated timber boarding and warm roof insulation is fitted along with new external UPVC roof line and guttering products. It is then made permanently water tight with our lifetime guaranteed flat roof system. The glass roof light is installed. Followed by internal installation of a new conventional plaster board ceiling along with lighting etc. The ceiling is plastered ready for painting. Thus, giving you a beautiful sky room orangery, oozing natural light. High-Tech will always remove the existing roof and comply with building regulations. High-Tech will create a luxurious living space. There are tiled roof conversions creating a more closed in style of room with no or limited natural light. An orangery style sky room with a glass lantern or sky light will not only offer the WOW factor, it will also give all the natural light required.

WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE OUR SUMMER DISCOUNT IS AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE.
