Bullying at work since returned from maternity leave

[couchsurfer]

My boss has been bullying me and treating me very disrespectfully since I have returned to work after maternity leave (past 2 months)

He shouts at me regularly in front of people , some examples below

-for briefly checking my phone (when everyone does it)
-taking me out of meetings and conversations
-any minor mistakes he picks up on shouts
-if something goes wrong with the work he gets annoyed with me even if I am not at fault
-annoyed me with me if I talk to other people in the team about work
-ordering HR to check up on me that I am working, like I am at school !!

Essentially he wants me to leave and did the same thing with 3 other people who have all left. One reported him to the owner and nothing happened.

I am currently self certifying as I am scared of him and I want to leave

I would like some advice if possible. I will have a meeting with HR soon and I don’t trust them.

How long have you been there?

Was your boss treating you this way prior to your maternity leave?

[couchsurfer]

Nearly 3 years

He joined just before I left on maternity leave and was fine

You will only be able to self-certify as off sick for up to 7 days including weekends.

So this is a change in behaviour since your return from maternity leave?
Does he treat other staff members in the same way?

[couchsurfer]

Yeah other people have had similar treatment and have all left

He only just started before my maternity leave and I didn’t notice anything bad then

It has been since I returned, but I don’t think it’s because of me being on maternity leave

When is your meeting with HR because that is the time when you can raise this, particularly as it is the reason you are currently off work.

In order to prepare for the meeting I suggest that you write out the incidents you detail in your post #1 and it would be useful to have dates when these took place and if there were any witnesses to the incident.
