Still trying to get up that great Big Hill...

[Pudmuddle]

Ok, job, I need your advice, if your reading this. Anyone else is welcome to have input too.

I haven't seen my passive/aggressive boss around for a while. She had been sending emails, reminders for her employees to do things, but no face to face, or in meetings she should be in with our team.

So today I meet with her for a one-on-one and we are being cordial, courteous to each other. Then she throws an Action Plan at me. In our company this is a plan for you to, basically, start straightening yourself out or there could be discipline. Seriously?? I still haven't even taken it very personal because I know it is just plain wrong.

At the top of the plan it says 'Action plans are not discipline. However, disciplinary actioni may occur if action plans objectives are not met.

A few of the items listed are career oriented, the last one is behavioral. It states: " She consistently demonstrates that she is not open to feedback and coaching - she gets highly defensive, and negates it right away. She needs to be open to feedback and suggestions. She needs to take things in a constructive manner and show demonstrable improvements. Collaborate and improve working relationships with team members."

Now, I have a team I work with daily and none of those members has said anything about any of this type of thing. This is coming strictly from my boss and our go around which I THOUGHT we had resolved between us. She hasn't been around or even talking to me lately and now she swoops in once again and I get this.

Like I said, I know it's not true and she and I did have our differences but apparently it stung her little behind enough to do this. I am not angry, but in awe that someone would stoop this low. I feel like going to HR or her boss and doing some of my own complaining on her behavior. Thoughts??

Sheesh. That [censored].
