Hi sister my anon story...I work at Transnet holding an office based post.My manager is +60 years.Prior work was great cos he used to share most personal stories with me n I'll advice where I can.Things changed when he started dating 20 something girls.Yoh he started becoming moody today he will greet u, tomorrow he will pass you like he doesn't know you.He will yell at little things.He will turn statement around to make me guilty.i started withdrawing myself,no longer goes to his office unless there things that push me to go there.He started monitoring me,finding small faults. He cut my important tool of trade,extends my working time so that I can go back n beg him to restore back.I chose not to beg bcs I can see this person want to trap me so that I may end up sleeping with him.He realize that I'm not buying his plots he reported me to the senior management and he told them lies about me I got 6 months warning,He set me up again this time around and senior managers investigate to this other colleague who knows my story .now caught out he withdrawed this charge and I filed for grievance for bullying and harassment. His now trying to be nice to me ,he realize that I'm not pitching paid colligue to sprinkle poison to my food n person told me,Tried to break my locker padlock n failed so that he can get anything to take to sangoma he failed.Im waiting for grievance meetings to start but I'm not going to let go of this fight.I know I'm not safe.Today I will never eat or drink any food from anyone at work,leave things lying around not even a pen on my work station.Ive cleared my locker n leave it open.Ive realized that Black child your enemies are no longer apartheid regimes but those we eat,laugh with everyday.our enemies are not that far.
