As the title says. I actually really like my job. I also like my company. For the most part, I have fantastic bosses. A couple of weeks back, my Department Head publicly called me out on a damn near company wide email. He cc'd everyone important and said I did my job wrong. Implying that my subpar quality of work will cause us to lose an important client.
Here's the thing, I didn't! I did my job exactly right and he was calling me out for not following a policy that wasn't even changed until 2 weeks AFTER I completed the job. If he did more than a cursory look into it, he would have saw I went over everything with the customer and they signed off on it!
My immediate supervisors had my back and spoke with him privately. They messaged me within the hour saying they were handling it. Apparently, the situation has been dealt with. My immediate supervisors apologized for it and said I didn't do anything wrong.
I'm still mad. I take pride in my work. I always put my best foot forward. I believe I have a great work ethic. If there's one insult that never fails to get under my skin, it's being called incompetent at my job. Especially when I know I do quality work. My work has been praised multiple times by customers and those within my company. I've been told it is often used as an example as the standard of what should be done for my Team.
The last thing all those VPs saw and/or their impression of me, is that I am incompetent at my job. It bothered me so much that I finally shot my Department Head an email, asking him to address in the email chain where he called me out, that I did not do my job wrong.
Silence. It's been a couple of weeks and he hasn't apologized. Not that I would accept a private apology. If you shame me publicly, you must apologize publicly.
I know my quality of work speaks for itself. I know my supervisors have my back. I know I did nothing wrong. But man, I am bitter.
Fully willing to shame me publicly under the impression that I did my job wrong. Now that it's clear that he was the one who did his job wrong, he wants to bury it.
