Question

What am I suppose to do in this type of situation, I am preparing to write a letter towards our top head manager and also HR, I have 2 interns and 2 fulltime employees that are willing to sign and write a brief statement about her actions towards all of us, she makes it seem like, we are not important and that she gets acredited for all the work we do, when I was a temp i got payed 10 hrly now 14 hrly

but get this others have received about three to four dollars more than what I should be making and they have not even been here for a long time such as I, its like she has something against me and I cant do anything, not only is she rude to my group but also to vendors and companies that we do business with I am a accounts payable clerk at XTOENERGY, please help me out guys I need to get this done with before tomorrow before I head out into the "WAR ZONE" with my supervisor

PS: my hourly pay is crazy but I can deal with it and she talks about my clothes and that im able to afford more but due to bills I cant afford it, my bonus check for the year was one third of what people got at my job just because she doesnt like me for some odd reason I do my work greatly, its just her, shes even gotten into with others at our job besides us

Answer 1

I would do what you are doing. If you have no luck, just keep going up in terms of rankings all the way to the president. If the president still does not do any good, report it to the Labor Board and they should be able to tell you what to do or they can do something!

Answer 2

Document everything, including the specific time and date and what was said. If you just write a letter with vague accusations no one will believe you. After you have several specific incidents documented, then set a meeting with your boss's boss. Explain everything in clear detail, backing it up with facts. Remember, facts are not how you feel or what you think. Facts are specific details of what has happened. Too many people in this situation focus on feelings and what they think and then they have no credibility. It will also help if your coworkers will do the same thing, then you will not seem like a lone disgruntled employee.

Answer 3

You can file a harrassment claim but frankly, why don't you merely look for a new job? Harrassment claims can take years to sort out and if the company keeps this negative supervisor, then it isn't likely they will get rid of her. By the time the claim is settled you may be ready for Social Security! I would look for something else, as you really haven't been there too long (two years is not long) so you haven't got that much invested in that particular job.

Answer 4

Talk to others. Plan wild ways of punishing her. Do NOT carry them out BUT you will feel better. If she does one minor thing wrong, report it annomously.
Do write the letter to the boss. Do NOT send it. Read about what happens to 'whistle blowers' on Net.
Stay late, really late. Talk to cleaners, they often know the 'dirt' on people. Look on her desk you may find some ammunition.
Look for another job.
My son-in-law had this problem. He annonomously reported 'The weasel' for parking in a dis-abled bay.
My son-in-law is now a very senior boss and 'the weasel' is his junior. Guess what my wonderful son-in law couldn't care less now
