Your boss has been suspended, someone reported her?

Resolved Question

Your boss has been suspended, someone reported her?

for leaving cooked chicken in the oven overnight and was going to serve it to children the following day. There is just her, you and another member of staff working in the kitchen yet it has been said that a person who works within a different department was the one who reported her. You also have another job, your boss from that job comes to you to tell you there has been a phone call and allegations have been made about you. Would you (as i have) immediately suspect the boss who has been suspended. Would you think they suspect you for reporting them and so they are (in their mind) getting their own back.

If the two jobs are within the same company, then you need to worry about the allegations that have been made against you. Speak to your boss, and find out what these allegations are, and how seriously they could affect you. Also, ask what the disciplinary procedure is. Act perfectly professionally, and you will be treated professionally. They might have to go through a procedure, to get someone to say "What a load of rubbish? Who on earth is wasting my time with this tripe?" and put an end to it. That's how large organisations work, anyway.

If you work for 2 separate organisations, is your boss going to treat a malicious phone call as something worth investigating? Of course, if it were a customer complaining about something you'd done, then that makes sense. The customer would have to come in and speak to your boss. Your other boss, if it was her, would have to do the same. So it's unlikely to get anywhere, because she probably wouldn't see it through. Showing your face to the person who you are trying to discredit is very difficult, especially if there is no substance to the allegations!

Yes, you're right, it could have been her - timing is very coincidental if it wasn't. But, if you're better than her, and professional about everything, people around you will see that. That's what makes a good employee - not one that takes petty squabbles (even made up ones) and turns them into disciplinary procedures! And if it turns out it wasn't her, you've still acted professionally.

  • You have the right to know what allegations have been made and should have an opportunity to address those. And it probably wouldn't hurt to tell your boss at the 2nd job what happened at the first job. The 2nd boss may put 2 and 2 together and drop the entire issue as long as your performance is up to par.
  • What a petty infraction to get suspended for. I would think she would have been warned before and her boss checked up and caught her again. I think if she reported you in retaliation the boss would see through that. It would be stupid on her part, so I wouldn't think it was her, but it might be.
  • if they are a *****,
    yes.
    if you think it's you wrong,yes.
    if you think you should,yes.
