Should I leave the company whatsapp group?

So I left. Unusually there was silence on the group for about 10 days and it made me wonder if the admin would be able to silence posts just for me. I said to myself I'll wait until there's just a few regular posts and that I'd then leave.

So what happened is I had two rest days and hadn't viewed it, then when I came back I chose one of the nice company vehicles in the yard… which we're allowed. But it turned out that it was meant to be kept for training a new staff member. The admin had posted this to the group but I hadn't seen it. Later a supervisor asked if I was aware that I wasn't meant to take it and I told him that I wasn't. He said "not to worry". I then looked at the group and I saw the admin ask "who took the vanhool?". I chose that moment to leave the group. He whatsapped me that evening to say don't take it tomorrow because he needed it. I replied to say not to contact me and that I only take instructions from supervisors. I then blocked him on whatsapp and also blocked him the regular way too.

One of the fellas on that group has now told me, that since I've left that there's been some talk on it about me and that a guy (lets pretend) called john tried to stand up for me, saying that ppl shudn't be mentioning my name and threatening to show a screenshot to me. I asked this guy to show me it on his phone but he wudn't. He said he didn't want to get involved and to ask john instead. I don't know if I know or trust john well enough to ask him for the screenshot. Pisses me off bcoz he shudn't have opened his mouth in the first place. This guy's english isn't very good so he could have got it wrong when he viewed what john apparently posted.

I'd love to see tho it because if it was the union rep that said sumthing about me I'd have enough to claim bullying on him given what's happened before. But I'd prefer if he'd just kept his mouth shut.

After I'd left the group I was told by someone called bence (who I wouldn't consider reliable) that someone posted something about me on the group and that a guy called Sean (to my surprise) stood up for me by saying that if they keep mentioning my name that he'll screen shoot it and send it to me. Bence asked me "did you get the screenshot from Sean?". I'd no idea what he was talking about and when I asked him to show me on his phone he refused... saying he didn't want to get involved!! It pissed me off as I'd have preferred if he hadn't opened his mouth at all. I didn't want to go texting Sean as I don't know him very well and wouldn't trust him. I can only imagine how needy I'd look texting him for help and how it could backfire.

I did ask another person though to show me what was said on the group one day, and after seeing it I'm glad I didn't ask Sean. Because the guy who tipped me off obviously didn't pick up on the sarcasm as his English isn't good. On the day I took the Vanhool (after I'd left group) Sean pretended to those on the group that he was going to contact me to say not to take the Vanhool the next day too... as it was also needed that day Sean then posted again on the group saying that I had asked him to screen shoot the group whenever my name was mentioned! In reality he'd never been on to me at all. The follow up comment from the union rep was "Ffs". And the first comment made by the lead bully after I'd left the group was "John [my name], who else would have **** taken it". This implies to others that I'm a clown. Ironically I probably would've seen the post not to take that bus if I hadn't been avoiding looking at the group for the sake of my mental health.

What annoys me more is that Sean has been out sick for nearly a month now, and there he is posting **** about me while I'm working full time. The union rep is also only part time. I don't know if I've enough on any one particular person, but what's going on is not right. That rep had already stabbed me in the back twice when I needed representation back in December, so this was like the final straw form me. I must admit I have had some dark thoughts about getting revenge.
