disrespect in the workplace

well sisters. I am venting here, but i had a male coworker go above my head, to my boss, on a decision I made, that did not suit him.

this is a manager with who has had reputation issues in the past. that i have helped on many occasions. not a terrible guy, but one where sexual harassment training came in as a result. no formal complaints, rumors only.

anyway, I am bullshit. it’s like that male ego thing– can’t handle a woman making a judgment call. and it was the right judgment on many levels and I stand by it. and hell no, i did not back off my position. which i am glad for.

but go to my boss? senior of HR? because i did not agree with having a suspected employee drug tested? i saw no evidence of being under the influence. and i know how this manager wrks, when he has it out for you, he will use anything. not that the susupicions aren’t valid– they are. but it is not how i recommend discipline and termination. there are other attendance issues and performance issues to focus on. we don’t just send to drug testing because we knw that so and so smokes pot after work. i won’t do it.

wtf.
