Is it ethical for HR leadership to make false statements about an employee’s commentary or behavior. For example, if an HR lead said, “John has given us an ultimatum. He’s leaving the company if I don’t move him from your team,” when the employee never made such a statement. Feels wrong to me as it could negatively impact professional reputation. But maybe this manipulation is just the way of the world.

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
