After a year of constant negativity and criticism from my manager in whatever I did, I have been diagnosed with mental health issues from my doctor recently, the reason was constant stress, tension and anxiety. My stakeholder and my manager , who are friends in personal life, provided incessant criticism on my work, and unconstructive and unachievable (cannot be quantified only subjective improvements) feedback. Finally I succumbed to that and my mental health is permanently damaged. I have worked at Amazon successfully prior to joining the "best company in the world" and I had a great time there. should I sue them?
Sue them
Sue them for what? Have you consulted an attorney or just the good folks here on blind? Presumably you work for an at-will employer and can quit and leave whenever you want. Why haven't you?
Everyone doesn't have the luxury of quitting their jobs at will.
Why not just change teams? Isn't it super easy to change teams at Google? Also, I am not sure what you can sue them for. Unless they were doing things out of line (ex. verbal abuse), there is not much you can do.
I tried changing teams but my manager kind of gave bad feedback to the prospective HM
I smell something fishy in your message. Dont feel like trusting you for some reason
How do you know you are permanently damaged until you get a new job? Maybe the damage was only temporary.
I can see the damage. And it is bad! Yes sue them
Perhaps you should communicate your displeasure with someone who can do something about it. Or quit
Ask for team change ?
Just leave or change teams. Sue is a waste of your own time and may lead to more depression. If you have evidence of more than 1 person having mental issues in google, then maybe you have a case.
Yes, I want to get a sense of that. How many people suffer from depression related to work pressure? I guess 1 in 5?
