I have worked an office job for a few years, during the first year I broke up with an abusive partner. TW but he was physically and sexually violent. After we broke up our company was bought out and rebranded and I moved to a different office in the same city, and the new manager went to the office I was originally at (so she did not work with me during the breakup).
My ex then decided to engage our services under the new name but as far as I know has no idea I work for the company, and we have been no contact for years for obvious reasons. I have not heard from him at all and don’t believe he’s tried to contact me, nor do I think he’s engaged with us because he’s figured out I work there.
He has to come and collect something from the office that could easily be put in a secure collection box for him outside, yet my manager has sent him an email asking him to come and collect it from her office in person ie inviting him in. I am very worried this is going to lead to a conversation of ‘what happened to the company that used to be in this building’ (ie the company I was working for when our relationship ended) and that he will then figure out I work for the new company and therefore know where I am. I won’t be there physically when he visits as I’m at a different office but I do not trust my manager at all and I am worried about what might happen during this visit.
My manager has proven herself untrustworthy a long time ago by lying, and often tries to make me look bad or hold me back anyway so I am not at all surprised by this. While I have never told her about how horrible my ex partner was, she is aware that he is my ex partner and I am 90% sure other staff have told her he was abusive, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect her to connect the dots that this is a bad idea, especially when the safe deposit box is there for things like this.
What should I do? My gut is to take this above her head to the overall senior person but I don’t want to look like a drama queen, however if this goes wrong it could become quite a serious safety issue for me.
TL;DR manager invited ex (who is a client) into her office to pick something up when it could have been put in a safe deposit box outside for him, worried he will realise I still work for this company
