[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not let this pass...I would make a report to HR...in her pocket or not...her performance is horrendous...
document, document, document....
what is the worst that can happen...u get fired?
U figured that was coming anyway....but this looney should not be allowed to get away with this...

[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I didn't get fired, but was "warned" that my performance is "questionable" and tht there needs to be a change "or else". It is bogus, bc of my team of 8 people, my performance is #2, based on numbers/results/relationships with colleagues, etc.  This woman hates me and is trying to force me out. Can't go to HR bc they are in her pocket (hr director is her BFF). So, now the for real job search begins. Thank goodness my company does not give any references at all, so they can't totally burn me in looking for something else.

When we were on the phone (she manages me remotely) she actually said to me, "gosh, you feel pretty bad now, huh?" and then laughed for about 30 seconds. It was awful.

Thanks for all the advice. Hopefully I can find something new before getting fired, but maybe I need some time off to get myt head together for something new. [/quote][/quote]

I am a COO at a large company.  I've been COO at a few companies with HR reporting to me.  Usually, most HR people will allow the employee to get unemployment.  Ask for it if you get fired.  If you ask, they will usually grant it.  Easier than the pain of extending the torture for everyone.  Also, document, document, document.  Memos to file, etc.  That way, if they do fire you and have a file, you will have yours also.  Sometimes it is easier to give in than to fight.  Fighting is exhausting and you don't want to work with the woman.  The sad part is that many times, HR is going to figure out how to help your boss and may not serve your needs.  They are constantly thinking about how to avoid a lawsuit.

I have had to leave a job twice.  Once when I hated the job and we mutually agreed that it was time for me to go and the other was for political reasons.  I felt like shit both times, but boy am I GREATFUL.  Now I have a wonderful boss and have learned a lot over the years.  I do not ding people who've been fired.  I understand that situations get complicated and sometimes it is just not a good fit.  We've all been there.  Some of my best employees had been fired in the past.  [/quote]
