Managers who just stand staring at you
While you prep, shouldn't be allowed surely?

It's harassment. There's no need to stand staring at anyone. If he did it on the street he'd get done in. It's not acceptable.

Ask Him. If He is prep testing or sorting test there is a procedure. If it’s not official put in a complaint.

Re: Managers who just stand staring at you
I had this after coming back from a long period of sickness (including hospitalisation). It felt very intimidating. He would stand on the edge of the room and peer in at an angle.
I would ask the manager why he feels the need to stare at you, and inform him that it makes you feel uncomfortable. If it persists, talk to the union and report him as well. It can come under harassment/bullying especially if he is singling you out - which is exactly what happened to me.

Re: Managers who just stand staring at you
Another few question op
Does the manager stare at you everyday and how long does the manager do this ?
Does the manger stare at other co workers ?
Do you have any reason why manger would be doing this ?

Just walk away, go to the toilet, if it persists, put a grievance in.

Re: Managers who just stand staring at you
They are only allowed to stare at you for a certain amount of time it is harassment otherwise you will see him/her look away for a bit then stare again we had a manager years ago who would do this from the the front of the office it was so obvious.

Re: Managers who just stand staring at you
Don't empower them by appearing intimidated. I usually burst into the chorus of certain songs on such occasions; "private eyes are watching you...", "I always feel like somebody's watching meee" etc. Let them be the butt of the joke, they're paid enough to deal with it. 
You do the work, they get the loot. The men with the smiles and the 3 piece suits.
