Work in FL, office in MI. I have worked for this company for 3 years with stellar reviews and respect. The new CFO and I have worked together previous in this company with no issues as I was not a direct report.
Recently I was screamed at by my manager for answering his Managers questions directed to me. I attempted to defend myself and was told that under no circumstance was I to speak with any of the Board unless he was aware of the topic at hand. Frustrated I went to his manager and advised what I was told and how I would not comply unless I was told to do so directly by himself or the board. His manager agreed that this was a bad idea and advised me to tell him I would not comply which I did and he denied to me alone ever saying this unaware that I had spoken to his manager.
Now I have been given a project by the board which my manager knows 1-2 weeks out of the month will not be touched. Yet he has stated to me that I need to show some type of progress even though I have done nothing. This is where I believe the ethics line has been breached and I am misrepresenting my progress. In my mind I have options, go to President again, go to HR, or call a meeting with President and HR.
Just as an additional note I have never had any conflict in this position in 3 years with any manager (3 in 3 years) until now. I am preparing that this in a short time will result in my forced resignation and want to know what if any recourse I will have.
