In our office we have a lead position, essentially the one in charge before you get to upper management. This person tries very hard to be “politically correct” in all her tasks due to an utlrasensitive staff who often take things to heart, etc. We are all on a mass email, when little things become a trend, sometimes in effort to keep things on track there will be very kind reminder emails, acting as a reminder to keep the group on task.
My concern? This lead is a new person, 2 months old in the position. One of our staff keeps blasting personal emails back to this person and “letting her have it”. Yesterday this happened agian where a group email was sent to us, and the hot head “let her have it” again.
I understand she was in the administrator’s office yesteray, and it’s well clear she told them this is harassement. SHe has recieved 3 emails of this nature, one only after being in her new position 2 weeks, this last one made personal pokes about some of her errors, and of couse it’s cc’d to the entire management team. Her claim of harassement can be supported as I hear know that she has journaled verbal interactions with this person, who often dispells personal issues with other staff in open areas.. well heard around. The email though attacking in a sense to a semi suprior… is harassement or an attemp to intimidate?
