I’ve been staffed on a pretty long running project at Accenture but the project manager/senior manager (same person) keeps saying awful things to me. Some examples: -loves to blame people for mistakes in front of the whole team -asked if I had holes in my memory -gets mad at my emails when I have a file without freeze panes for example -gets mad if I don’t respond in under 10 minutes I got diagnosed with ADHD earlier this year so I am somewhat forgetful and will miss a email or meeting (first few minutes) here and there. Is it worth it to go to HR? I’m very scared of how this will impact my job. This has been going on for a while now but I’ve only started collecting screenshots this week. #hrissues #anxiety
It’s usually the first couple minutes of a meeting
Working from home, it's happened once or twice where I'm caught up in my work and I miss the start of a meeting, but those times I've just gotten a ping and gotten right on. Missing in-person meetings might be a bit more of a big deal, but I don't know what the case is here.
I work for Avanade (owned by Accenture) and while I have not had experience with reporting these kinds of things to HR, I would say this is a serious situation. I feel for you, and I'm sorry you're going through this.
Don’t bring it up to HR until you have various recordings or examples on hand. That way, best case scenario, they can launch into investigation right away instead of asking you to document.
Move away from these micro manager!!! No value for your mental peace. Change the team, do not worry too much for this crappy manager. Going forward have notes on wall near your monitor or sticky notes for your day planner kind so that you will not forget.
Jesus lol some people shouldn’t be a leader.
Just find a better job. Let that boss work with those who like abusive behaviors and lick boots.Or look for an opportunity in a different program / verticale.
You said in your original post that you suffer from ADHD. If this is the reason for some of the problems you are experiencing at work you need to let your employer know that your ADHD is impacting your work. Once you have informed your employer, they have a duty to, what us lawyers call, engage in the interactive process. This basically means that your employer has a duty to figure out if there can be certain changes in your job that can allow you to perform the essential functions of your job. And, once you have informed your employer, you are effectively insulating yourself from being terminated due to your ADHD. If you want to discuss, feel free to DM me.
Op, non retaliation policies are often only in writing and enforcing it would be a very lengthy game for most people. Some HRs enable managing the victim out. Some leave the perpetrator roam around even when it's a sexual harrasment case. I have been in your shoes and i know many who have been there. In a previous company, I was made a scrapegoat by an HR who even went to the extent of providing false details on email to mislead me. Thankfully some other HR from nowhere related saved me from retaliation. Cold email other team managers to see if they might have a position for you. If your company would move you out of team if you take long leave, then try that. Or get any other excuse like needing relocation to approach HR. I know you might regret not complaining and punishing that horrible manager. But retaliation would be even worse to live with - could be traumatic.
I was in a similar situation. Since he was senior to me, nothing happened. HR would only do something if there was something in writing. Witnesses didn't really count. Their only suggestion was for me and him to sit down with HR as a mediator, which would've only made the situation worse. I declined and was miserable until I changed jobs. I wouldn't trust HR

Thank you AAPL and NVDA
I wish i could say yes, but unfortunately the best way would be to move outside the team. See if there's any way for you to move to another team.
I second this. Leaders should never berate their staff in public. Someone who cannot respect others cannot do so because they cannot respect themselves. You don't want to follow a leader who doesn't value and respect themselves. How can they value their own visions? Ambitions? Goals? Find someone who can follow as well as they lead, and you'll have found yourself what you need.
I’ve had multiple (former) team members tell me they had a lot of difficulties leaving this team because this manager wouldn’t let them and they found jobs outside of Accenture instead. I’m considering the same but the current tech job climate is very nerve wracking
