Today I brought to my boss’s attention her harsh and punitive tone with me at times. She tried to twist the narrative to be that I’m misinterpreting her. BS. That’s gaslighting and deflecting all responsibility onto me. I should have known that this is the type of response I would get from her. Next I speak with her boss about her poor treatment of me on Thursday. I used the words “bullying behavior” with him and mentioned that I hope we can resolve it before I feel I have to take it further. I will not go to HR however, after reflecting more on it. I will simply inform him of the issues and will offer solutions one of which is to report to someone else. My boss is the one who had raised the question.
