Not 100% sure but I think the speak up line may be better. P/O represent different areas so it may be easier to get someone through speak up. If you are being treated unfairly they will have to take some kind of action to investigate

that’s the part that I’m worried about: the investigation. Will they actually listen to the rep? Will they automatically side with the ABL? Am I better off not saying anything? I know leaving is the best option- the heck with this place- but until then…abl can me things miserable and I simply don’t know if I trust Novartis HR /Speak up. Tough.

Oh ABL retaliation is real here, trust me. They will get even and try to take you down. Ask yourself if it’s really worth the risk?
 




Can I ask what the ABL is doing to you? I am a former ABL and hate to hear of anyone getting bullied by their manager. If you have concrete examples of how you are being treated differently than your co-workers (i.e. you are being singled out) you have a case. But I wouldn’t expect the ABL to have much action taken against home or her - most likely it would be a situation where it would be a coaching opportunity for the director who may come up with some kind of action plan for the ABL. If you are experiencing sexual harassment or something of that nature that’s a totally different story. I don’t think those types of issues can be swept under the rug so easily. If you do report your ABL and things only get worse for you, like an above poster said, you can always go out on leave for mental stress. But you need to start to document the mental stress now (for example start talking to a therapist - we have free sessions at Novartis through ESS) Others may disagree with my thoughts but I am speaking from experience

I appreciate your response and you sound very legit. It is not sexual harassment.

How do I screw the free sessions, please? I’ve been here a while, but I apologize - not sure what ESS is. Oh, self service center maybe. I will look and enquire.

Do not trust HR. They are not your friend and will gaslight you. Go on med leave for stress and find another job. (It is legal. You'll be paid. And your ABL can not contact you.)

My ABL has no self awareness, no empathy and over compensates for his many insecurities.. Basically a dork who thinks he’s hype but reality hes one delusional individual. Basically pbpdy trists him and his reps do the opppsite of what he says He’s gotta go.

This is so true.

while we all think that H.R is there to protect you

that is not the case, H.R first and foremost is there to protect the organization

Really? I don’t recall seeing anything with that announcement

just try calling the ethicspoint (aka speakup) hotline. the automated message is "novartis is no longer accepting reporting through ethicspoint" then click. also try the compliance hotline. you do not even get a message with that one. still dont believe me? go to the global address list in outlook. look up "speakup" general. there is no longer a phone number. blank! meaning they are no longer accepting anonymous or confidential reporting.
