Grannie..

Well if your not in a union..PLEASE PLEASE get in touch with Citizens Advice Bureau as they deal with massive problems what you have been having all the time you have been working there.

And look to downloading Health and Safety booklet or ask CAB for one then you can quote it verbatim to her.

Grannie of 12,

get some balls and tell he to bugger of.
NEVER<NEVER get put upon by anyone.
If she is a bully, shes a coward, so just giver her what for.

Listen to Sue in Leeds Grannie. She knows what is what in these circumstances. I have met her on numerous occasions and she is fine in her suggestions.

Jenny.

No union so me on my own.Hubby says i must not do it.She does so many things she should not do.She always gets away with it.I know she has been reported by a outside company for being unprofessional but our company will not do anything about it

You are going to have to be very tough with her and put your foot down with a firm hand,,,and say NO with meaning..and keep saying NO.

Just don't do it no matter what she says..
Aren't you in a union as you could bring them in and they would certainly be telling her in no uncertain terms that she will have to get a painter in to do the work.

If you get sick or injured doing a job you shouldn't be doing you'll be worse off. A firm NO is all that should be needed.

Sue i think i may have to see what my doctor says on any of the work i do.When i have been on holiday my bp is down but he will say give up the job that i cant afford to do

I really wouldn't use the blood pressure as a reason as its would sound as if you would do but !!!. Personally i would tell her decorating isnt something you can do and its not part of your terms of employment anyway ,Please don let her bully you into saying yes as it will be the short end of the straw .
You could say your hubby is a builder he can give her an estimate !! :-D

It's time now to get in touch with the bosses that are above her and tell them what you are expected to do..

Also get a letter from your doctor saying that you CANNOT do painting,climbing as you have high blood pressure and that it is against H and S guidlines..

I know Shirley.I am supposed to do fire alarm on mondays and sign the paperwork.We have had a new board put up and i cant reach it.Will not take i cant reach it.Told you have to do it.She does not take no.I am wondering if i could use my blood pressure?

Annie, Just tell her firmly that you are sorry but you are not going to do it because she might get into trouble if you have an accident with the paint and you won't be covered by insurance for painting. Then stick to what you have said.

You will have to take the bull by the horn and tell her NO ,You wont be covered for injury and am not covered by Health and Safety regulations . Tell her you werent employed as a decorator and apart from that you have never wielded a paint brush so wouldnt know how to do it anyway.

If she still insists then tell her you will have to consult with senior management for their guidance, Bet that will scare. her

I have a very over powering senior.Drives me bonkers but no other work around.I do, do most of her work now but dont mind as it keeps her out of
office.I also have very high blood pressure.I am on high dose of tablets.Today she comes in and said i have to paint a room?I work in a homeless hostel and she dont want to use the budget but wants it painted before a new tennant moves in.I dont know how to say no but i know i cant do it.Its not in my contract and i am sure i am not covered in H/S.She does not take no Help what should i say to her.She is a bit of a bully
