[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting....although I am unsure of why a supervisor should be some sort of mediator between the two of you. Her emails aren't vulgar or constitute harassment. Perhaps two can play the same game- email her and everyone else back with a response that details why she was wrong about you being wrong and that might embarrass her enough.[/quote]

NO. OP has to occupy the moral high ground if ever emails are shown to the boss.

I disagree.  If OP is in the right and she gives a straightforward and well documented answer to the email, without snark, she should do that.  And she should cc everyone on it as well her boss.  Write the letter as if you are explaining it to her.  Otherwise, you will not correct the impression that you are inefficient and complacent.  Furthermore, you keep on taking shit, you become a dumping ground.  Make sure that you show that you know your stuff and that you will politely answer back.

To be honest I have an excellent reputation at work and she's not going to damage it, because these issues are unrelated to my core job. (Though what might damage it would be having a personal conflict with her or not being able to handle this). The mistakes that she blames me (or others) for are petty bureaucratic things related to how bills get paid and contracts processed (which is her core job). This most recent time one of the people CC'd copied the CFO (who is way up the chain) and the only reason I could come up with was because they thought she was out of line.
