What is the name of your state? UTAH
I had a meeting with my second in rank boss and he lied to my face about the situation. I ignored it at first and then he lied to me again about another situation. I finally said "please don't lie to me." He asked me why I thought he was lying and I told him and also told him I could prove that. He got ticked. He started yelling at me and ordered me out of his office. I tried to leave and he gave me a direct order to sit back down so he could yell at me some more. I was crying by the time I got to leave his office.
I have now received my performance review 3 months later and he has in the review that I was insubordinate to him. Ever since this event has happened, we can't talk to each other. We can't be in the same room. All the other employees have noticed it. We have had several problems with this supervisor. They all agree with me that he treats me different-not allowing me to get a bonus and not allowing me on a special assignment. Trusting him is one thing I will have to deal with, but it is the work environment that I don't like. I now have to work night shift so that I don't have to work with him, which makes me lose out on a different special assignment I had. He has also been giving direct orders to the other employees requesting them to tell him what I talk about during work and what I have said about different situations-what my opinions are, etc. (The other employees have told me since I started 2 years ago that he doesn't like females and that is why he treats me the way he does.)
Although saying please don't lie to me wasn't the best thing to do-is that actually insubordination? He expects honesty from me, can't I expect that from him? Can he yell and scream at me like that? What can I do or say on a grievance to make the hostile work environment go away?
He has also claimed to the top boss that I refuse to say hello to him when he says hello. He says this is disrespecting his authority. The other employees can testify that he doesn't say hi to me-that he won't talk to me. In fact he has been relaying messages through my husband who also works for the same place. Now I'm afraid this will continue to snowball because when I do see him and say hi, then he will say I am doing it to be sarcastic.
