I have a plant manager at my shot that has it out personally for me, and I am wondering if I have a leg to stand legally? Have been with the company for 15 years, and it has got worse in the last year. Just had my evaluation meeting and got meets expectation overall but in that meeting I got needs improvement on attitude and was asking my supervisor why and he explained that that I got angry and blew up at him, at this point the plant manager spoke up and said that he refers to that as a Larry whenever someone on the shop floor as a negative reaction, I am Larry by the way. At the end of the meeting I asked about being transferred to one of the other plants to get out from under him and he replied I don't pass MY problems on to other plant managers, again saying my and showing that it is personal. I have a deteriorating disc in my neck and sometimes it limits me in what I can do, a few months back he came at me about it on the shop floor instead of behind closed doors knowing the conversation would get heated, and when I asked why we could not do this in the office he responded why you don't want people to see the way you are. Back in February we had a disagreement over why a type of product we were making was failing, in this heated conversation he took an intimidating step towards me and said I am not scared of you Larry. I believe but do not know that this personal issue with me stems from a disagreement I had with his wife(who worked at the shop at the time) where she swore at me on the shop and had to be reprimanded for her actions.
The problem is going to be proving what is happening. It will be your word against his. If you can prove it, you may be able to treat your employment as terminated (because of the bad work environment) and make the company pay you severance. Otherwise, I would file a formal complaint against the manager and start documenting everything that is happening.
