[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See if you can find out from colleagues what her issue is. Agree with pp, I don't know what it is you did with Bob re: his assignment that she is concerned about and since you didn't overstep your bounds, you've got nothing to apologize for.[/quote]

The only insight I have into the Bob situation is that he told her that he was being staffed on X project at my direction and against his will. There are a number of untruths in there (i.e., he hadn't been staffed, just asked; it wasn't my idea, I had just allowed it to move forward and be had repeatedly told me and the partner initiating the staffing that he did want to do it). I think my group leader ultimately set the record straight but not until well after the fact.  Honestly, Bob is digging himself a huge hole by refusing billable hours he sorely needs.  In any event, either Bob plausibly spun this as evil Susie sending him off to Siberia or it was simply that I stepped on her toes.  The former makes more sense both in terms of her reaction and what I know of Bob.  [/quote]

Well, you obviously shouldn't stick your neck out for Bob again!  He sounds like a little a-hole to me.  Do the bare minimum where he is concerned.[/quote]
