My wife has been facing discrimination at her work by her manager. The manager behaves always nicely with other 2 colleagues but when my wife gives ideas/speak up she says slow down you are overthinking. Recently she always trying to find and blame her mistakes whereas it’s not good culture to play blame game in GMP biotech for mistakes. Even when taking sick leave this manager asks did you really get sick /headache on multiple occasions. This has been a trauma and we don’t how to get help.

Has your wife been keeping a record of this? Can she start by maintaining a record and write down specific events, dates, times etc.

Thanks. What would be the next steps after recording all this?

Your wife needs to keep a daily diary of things said and done at work. Also, if there are witnesses to the unkind and unnecessary remarks from the manager, make a note of who witnessed. I'm wondering about the other 2 colleagues - are they forming a "team" with the manager against your wife? Do they make similar demoralizing comments to her? Do they appear to be siding with the manager's attitude? Does your wife have emotional support from anyone at the office? And who is at the top of the chain? Her Manager must report to someone.

Honestly, this sucks but the best thing would be for her to just find a new job in a new company. This kind of thing takes a toll on someone, and it almost always does not get better

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
