They expanded the responsibilities of the worst supervisor, who bullies employees, to my department at work. He bullied me on Wednesday. He approached me, at the very end of the day as I was minutes away from clocking out, challenged me to do a particular task, and started a stopwatch to see how long it took me. This serves no valid supervisory purpose, because how long it takes us to do any given task has no bearing on our overall productivity (he knows you have to look at the aggregate of it). I didn't submit and I kept my cool. I told him that he was engaged in targeted harassment, and I requested the presence of a shop steward. He has previously bullied me when I used to work in his department, and until they expanded his role I had been freed of it.

He is now weaponizing the disciplinary process against me. I don't know what's coming my way on Tuesday (Monday is a holiday) but it could be anything from nothing at all to attempted termination. So you can probably guess I'm freaking out about it. We have a union to protect us, and it's a good union, but just the process of it makes me freak out. I won't back down, however.
