I mentioned this briefly yesterday in another thread, but it's worthy of it's own thread now. It has escalated.
Tuesday I had an appointment to handle something over the phone with a female coworker at 9:00am. I arrived at the shop at 9:03am. Upon arrival I found out that another female coworker was already on the phone with this female coworker taking care of what I was supposed to do. A question came up and I answered it for the coworker on my end, who then relayed the info to the woman over the phone. They hung up. I thanked the woman on my side for taking care of it, she said it was fine and she was glad to do it. "No problem" I thought all was well.
The next day, Tuesday, the female I was supposed to help complained to my boss via Email that I never communicated directly with her and told her that someone else would be helping her other than me. I responded that I was flattered that she wanted to talk to me so much, but from what I understood the other female coworker handled it and handled it well. I told her I answered one question "behind the scenes" for the woman she talked to, and all was well. She told me "yes she did take care of it but you never contacted me to tell me it would be her and not you. You were ignoring me. ". Ok whatever .
I thought this was the last of it. Boss had my back up until this point and even said she "overreacted". But then later in the day I guess she talked to my boss in person and was CRYING over it, saying that she feels I do not take her seriously when she needs something..
So the next day, yesterday, my boss changed his tune. He actually had the lack of balls to tell me that I never should have made the statement to her about being flattered that she wanted to talk to me. He said that was out of line.. He pretty much took his previous words back and scolded me over it and made it my fault. I said "She was making accusations against me and I was trying to lighten the mood while defending myself too". Then he went on to say that next time someone makes accusations against me, he would suggest that I just shut up and agree with it to "keep peace" so I don't get people so upset. HUUH??? He has never said anything like that before, or been that kind of pu$$y. I said "well that ain't gonna happen I will always defend myself, job be dammed" And I told him to have a good night and I left.
The moral of the story. Boss on my side.. EMO woman cried. Boss took her side.
