After me and a colleague of mine had been summoned for a training, my boss didn't agree with my colleague coming to the course as well, but still said “that's fine” except then after 10 minutes “force” my colleague, by telephone, not to participate in the course in question.
The same evening I sent a whatsapp message to my boss saying: “Doctor, however, I was disappointed that you changed your mind about Nick's course…I thought there weren't any problems, anyway, that's okay, it will be for another time” ..
immediately after my manager replies: “john, you are taking a bad turn: O'Riordan, you are meddling in matters that are not yours. John, do not cross the lines. “
I then reply saying: “Oriordan without an apostrophe… and I didn't understand what the non-mine matters would be I would also like to understand what the bad path I have taken would be, so suddenly when you praised me until yesterday , and also the speech I'm butting in and what lines do I risk not crossing, but it's like a threat I don't know”
and he says: ” john, don't use disrespectful words. Then, if you want to be less respectful with me, I have no problems: we'll see what to do! And with that we are done. Good night. “
after this exchange of sentences on whatsapp, he blocked me on whatsapp, and does not respond to my company emails. Since then I have taken advantage of some family leave that I had not yet taken until now.. Is it normal for a manager to respond like this? I had just written that I was sad that my colleague could no longer come to the course with me, after he had said it could be done.
moreover, he also seems to be arrogant saying that if I'm going to disrespect him, he's ready for what to do!
I'll have to go back to work in a few days, and I honestly expect him to ignore it, as he's already done with others in these situations, but having to deal with such an executive well worries me , above all because it is not a private company, but a public and state one
