Putting in a grievance when job could be at risk

Dear All,

I would like to have some advice as I am currently going through a worrying time. I am currently undertaking my CIPD qualification and transitioning from being a PA to HR within my organisation which has been a lifelong ambition. For the past year I have been targeted by an admin in another department who is particularly rude to most people but often runs me down to others and talks to me in an aggressive manner making me feel miserable at work, so after another incident earlier this week I have reported the incident. 

The downside is that this admin is protected by a director and has 17 years of service whereas I only have 14 months and as my organisation is going through some structural changes I fear that if I uphold my grievance then I may be dismissed. Are there grounds of which I can protect myself as I really do not want to lose my job as other than this person I adore the organisation I work for and the work that I do.?

  • Hi Claire... welcome to the Community and I'm sorry for what is obviously an unsettling time.

    I assume any grievance would be for 'bullying'? Is there already an HR dept to speak of (i.e. before you make that internal transition)? You should never ever feel your job is at risk for submitting such a grievance... although I understand the sense that it might.

    I'm sure others will come along soon with some advice.
