It is correct that your supervisor tells other you are a bad influence?

Question

The person that made this remark was in charge the week the incident happened. There is an intern that takes a lot of brakes and comes to our division to talk to all the ladies that works in our department (minding she has been done this before I got to that department). So the acting supervisor I guess got tired of her brakes and told her supervisor that these other two ladies and I were a bad influence for the intern because we are not teaching her good work ethical and to stop coming to see us. I always encourage her to finish her college education, stay fit and give her small things to do since her department doesn't giver her enough work.
But the real question is, wasn't him the one that lacks of ethic when he said to other that his co-workers are a bad influence?
Please give me some responses, I am interesting to know if he was wrong and if I was correct on confront him and to tell him his approach to the situation was something we could solve among our department.

Answer 1

No, not under the circumstances...

if she wanted to share anything with u.. then she needed to pull u into her office and done it privately..

that was not very professional.. at all..

good luck..

Answer 2

I can see the supervisor's point, but she may not have conveyed in the best way. She/He essentially does not want the intern to visit so much, because it has an affect on said departments work (which I am sure she can prove the level of work being accomplished prior to the visiting intern). She/He thinks that by you and your coworkers not putting a stop to the visits by politely saying "Wish I could could talk more, but I really need to get this done by 2pm", is behavior that is just as disruptive as the visiting intern. I don't think its necessarily what she said, but maybe how she said it.

Answer 3

I think your supervisor was correct in saying that you are a bad influence on the young intern. It is obvious that what he means by "being a bad influence" is your grammar is so awful that he doesn't want you to "influence" her speech and/or writing ability. I am glad you encouraged the young intern to finish college, but I do recommend quitting your job and going back to school full time. It would be very beneficial to you.

p.s. Leave your boss alone. He is your boss for a reason.
