What can I do about being "written up"?
|
I was written up by my new manager of one month. Reason stated "I have displayed a bad attitude and negative body language at the meeting for restructering of the department". I am uncomfortable with this person being a manager mainly because her deprtment states she is horrible and never there and she and I are both in a leadership class for work and now I have to report to her as my manager. I should have been directed as a Lead or Supervisor. Some coworkers say that she is threaten by me and my education (aa abd bba degress) and that I have 7 years in my company. But to go as far as writing me uo. I refused to sign the disciple action notice and thus it has been turned into HR. I called the vP of HR myself and set up a meeting for tomorrow. Now I am thinking what should I bring to the meeting. Emails from her? My letters of recommendations from the CEO? My two nominations for Employee of the Year? The fact that I am on 4 committees and this class? How should I prepare myself for this meeting? I know I wasn't happy about the changes but I was not rude or disrespectful in any matter.

change places with this person and then read your question/rant.......
you are wrong and it is obvious that you have an "attitude" about being passed over. if you honestly read what you have written you will see what this manager has seen.
not signing the write-up/counseling form is a sign of immaturity, signing does not imply agreement it simple states that the conversation about the issue was had.
bring what ever you want to the meeting, i would not expect any of it to have any affect on the discussion you are going to have with HR(and it shouldn't).
you have managed to prove that the decision to promote this person over you was the correct choice for the employer to make.
sorry to be so negative and maybe i am wrong.................
take ownership for what has happened and improve or make excuses your choice. |

Update your resume and find another position. Your response to the write up just proves your new supervisor was right.
What you should have done when you received the write up, was to respond with a written apology that you certainly had no such intention appearing to have a bad attitude and hope that this misunderstanding wouldn't get in the way of future interaction, etc. That way the new supervisor would look petty instead of you.
You have to learn how to use the office politics to your advantage, especially when someone gets promoted over you. |

I'd become friends with the boss... idk if this saying relates... but keep ur friends close and ur enemies closer. in this case, its not in your best interest to beef with your boss. squash what you had, and move on and do your job... because its aobt the money, and these days economy you dont want to mess around and be jobless... |
