What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
I work in a public place. I exchanged phone #s with a man I met, & one day several months ago I received a picture message from him while I was working. The pic included myself & my supervisor, & had been taken just moments before. I thought it was weird, & when I showed my supervisor, she got extremely upset & told me she doesn't want her pic on social media, that he doesn't have permission to take her picture, & to tell him to delete the pic & not do it again. I told him, & I eventually blocked the guy because I didn't like him. He wasn't very nice & I ended up blocking him from calling me.
My supervisor has been quite cold to me for months. She goes for weeks without speaking to me, & avoids eye contact. When I tried to speak to her she would avoid me, & if I really pushed it because I needed her feedback, she was curt or flat out rude to me. I requested on several occasions that we sit down & try to resolve our differences because it was disrupting my ability to do my job, & she, in order to (apparently) avoid me, was giving her special directions to my employees instead of talking to me about them.
So yesterday she gave one of my employees direction that was contrary to company policy. I insisted on a sit down meeting with her. I told her that I was really frustrated, that I dreaded having to work with her, but I knew we both wanted to do a good job & I really want to hash out what the problem is.
She told me that the man who took the pic of her & I came into our facility & told her, "I don't care what [my name] says, I don't think you're a bitch, I think you're nice & you're just trying to do your job".
She went on to say that it was at that point she realized how much animosity I had towards her. She said that she was in contact with an attorney because she isn't going to tolerate this slanderous & harrassing behavior. She said that she had obtained video of the incident, & there was much more to it.
I told her that I have nothing to do with that. I have no control over what someone else says. She repeatedly told me that I am the only connection between that man & her, & therefore it does involve me.
I told her that I didn't feel comfortable speaking any further. I'm a bit freaked out. I feel like that incident is why she's been acting so strangely towards me. I don't know if she's trying to say I slandered her...I'm concerned about it from a professional & legal standpoint. Any advice as to what I should do?
