Reply To: How can I handle this work meeting

That is wild! Where I work, the new boss (on a different team) yelled at several of his direct reports. Just the female ones. I saw it happen myself on one occasion, and I also had a 1:1 with this guy where I was like why is he being so weird and aggressive. Anyway, they went to HR about him I guess, and all that happened was they had to have a meeting WITH him and like talk about it. I feel like in the US, the abuse has to be so widespread and egregious before anything is done about it, it is just amazing to me that someone sends their employee a pissy email and is taken to task for it. Your email was, yeah, not the best, but it didn’t need its own meeting. Lord. There are probably ways to deal with this woman, but I’m with you, idk if it’s worth it. If you decide to stay in the role I think you have to NEVER take a tone with her in writing or in front of anyone, but also keep her out of the loop as much as possible, communicate expectations dispassionately, evaluate her on her performance against those expectations, and just insulate yourself from sabotage. She sucks. What she did was bullshit.
