Oh yeah. laugh Used to have a supervisor that was very unprofessional. She seemed to think it was a sorority instead of an office. She often took it very personally when I was too busy to chat with her. Then I'd either get called into her office for an impromtu "performance review" or get a snarky, snotty e-mail about my people skills. I was always very courteous and polite to her! I just didn't want to be her best friend.
I blew up at her one afternoon, yelled "For God's sake would you just let me work in peace?!!" and ended up in her boss's office, explaining my outburst. laugh Then she & I both ended up in a meeting with someone from HR. Thank God I'd saved all the e-mails she'd sent to me. The HR person warned my supervisor that she could be fired or sued (by me) for harrassment. :banana: :banana:
She transferred not too long after that. :banana:

I can relate so much!happy
I had an office manager that wanted me as her personal "errand" girl none of which was part of my job criteria-any way on top of her demands she was extremely unprofessional as well was her boss, and I called them out on it many times!!!
Needless to say they are practically out-of- business now and I have since moved on to a better job!!!

Yes I have, but it took a lot to get me there. I was written up for insubordination. What's so funny is that they fired me the one time I didn't loose my temper, and all I said was 'let me finish this'. They called that refusal to work and insubordination and fired me!
