work gripe : what do you do in this situation? - groiny Apr 8, 09:32 40

- Great Discussion! Thx to KickAss, TFox, etal for comments. -- nm - OAE Apr 8, 09:52
- kick him in the nuts -- nm - dogbert Apr 8, 09:49
- Just smirk at him every time you see him. It will make him uber-paranoid. -- nm - David Apr 8, 09:44
- If I were in your shoes, I would like to know how he came to that opinion of me, and why he chose to share it so vehemently. - Beryllium Apr 8, 09:38

  - and how do you go about bringing this up to your boss???? - groiny Apr 8, 09:40 4
    - In a flat, monotone, matter-of-fact email. "User X verbally expressed some unknown personal issue with me to coworker Y, and 30 minutes later I - Beryllium Apr 8, 09:45 3
      - I'd reserve this one. Again, fanned gossip stinks. - OAE Apr 8, 09:47 2
        
        I agree to a point. Talking directly to the guy is not "fanning gossip". It is shutting it down. -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:49 1
        
        No, but sending an e-mail to the boss explaining the situation is fanning stinky gossip. - OAE Apr 8, 09:55
  - Exactly my thoughts -- nm - MDH Apr 8, 09:38
  - seriously, who does this kind of shit now-a-days? Even if you're thinking this stuff, you never say it. What a total unprofessional asswipe -- nm - CQ Apr 8, 09:36 15
    - worst part is, this was about 30 minutes before he called me for help.... - groiny Apr 8, 09:38 14
      - This givers you a perfect excuse to go visit him again. - OAE Apr 8, 09:43 6
        
        That is the handbook recommendation. - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:44 5
        
        Absolutely. But our Groiny is a smart cookie and can handle this... - OAE Apr 8, 09:46 4
        
        I'd expect one of my subordinates to point this out to me, it's a reflection on my entire department. -- nm - scorpion Apr 8, 09:53
        
        I can not disagree more. The guy made an error at the expense of groiny. It needs to be pointed out to him so he knows it will not be tolerated. -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:47 2
        
        It's really fucking with a man's family, to spread shit like that where a family breadwinner works with no reason behind it. - TFox Apr 8, 09:49 1
        
        Years ago I have had far worse slander said about my company that was completely untrue. - Kick Ass Apr 8, 10:04

        I believe so. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 8, 09:39 5

        I disagree. Never fan gossip. It always stinks. -- nm - OAE Apr 8, 09:43 3
        
        No. Unadressed, the stink will linger for months. - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:46 2
