sorry i just need to vent. i am kind of new at this job and i had to get the bosses to sign this state hr doc. after they signed, it turned out the doc was done incorrectly but it wasn't my fault as i was just following instructions. the gal training me said the bosses were questioning the error so i asked her if i should ask the bosses if i needed to fix it. she said let it go. i really wanted to ask the bosses if they wanted me to fix the doc as their signatures were on it. normally i would have run that by the trainer again out of respect but she blamed me for the mistake and that really upset me. because of her attitude i did not consult with her again and i went straight to the bosses. they told me they wanted the error fixed. in the trainer's eye, i had disrespected her by bypassing her. that was strike one against me.

so the trainer told me to fix the doc a certain way and i did as she instructed. then that night, my friend, who works in another state hr dept, called to chat. i asked her how those docs were done in her hr dept. she said she they were done a totally different way. so then i was in a quandry. do i tell the trainer what my friend said? or do nothing? or ask my direct boss to clarify? i wasn't going to mention any of this to the trainer but most of it came out anyways except i didn't tell her whom i had talked to about the docs. when she heard that i had asked someone else about the docs, she got so insulted. she felt that after all she had done to train me, that i didn't trust her. but i don't think i did anything that bad. i merely wanted to clear things up because my friend's info was so different from the trainer's. to me it was like asking another doctor for a second opinion. what is the big deal?

there has been cold silence between us since then. i wish i could talk it all out with her but i don't think she would ever see things from my point of view. especially the part that i was pissed off at her for blaming me for the error.

i can't wait to be retired....
