So… I'm fucking seething. I'm going to keep any and all info vague. So…
I just called my mom. She works at an office as a team manager and has about 15 people at her team. And let me preface this- my mother is no pushover. She worked and took care of me and my brother our whole ass lives. 30 years she worked this job and is fucking great at it. So imagine my anger when I call her about our lunch and she is crying. I was stunned, surprised, and scared of what happened.
Apparently, one of her employees (Y) went to have a discussion about Y's money and subsequent employ. At that meeting, the head of the department (X) was taking every information and turned it against my mom. That she has favourites, that she is petty and vengeful.
After the meeting, Y came to my mother and told her everything. It would seem that X doesn't like my mom working there and tries to get a reason to make her life difficult. At the sight of the pettiness, my mom couldn't take it and went for a walk to calm her nerves. That was the point I called her.
So… my idea is to get a strongly worded email to send to X. (Read: tear him a new one) To get every and all criticisms in writing. To have some kind of paper trail. Honestly, I scrapped the few first ideas (involving substantial physical harm upon a number of people). This one seems a “bit” more professional.
Unfortunately, I am not in the right state of mind at the moment nit to fucking curse at that piece of shit that made my mom cry. No chance in seven hells.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
