A director tried to blackball my promotion two times over 4 years. Partners overruled them and I got it both times. Then I got a better opportunity and left. The director crashed so hard across all engagements that they were fired a few months later.
Heck yes, that sounds like winning all around! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Mine would pitch a fit if he called and I was in the restroom. Seriously wanted me to get a headset that I could answer from anywhere in the building. Actually bought one for me so I started telling him it was out of range
Yikes… that doesn’t sound fun at all! Unless you’re my BFF, I don’t want to hear any bathroom noises or toilets flushing when we’re on the phone! Lol

A Former TL at 8 AM: let’s document this in a formal work paper; Me:Ok
TL at 12.30 with cc to my Manager: where is this? Me: working on it, will send in an hour’s time.
Me at 2 PM: here’s the work paper you asked. TL: Ok let’s document in Lotus Notes and I’ll review it other Work papers. *does not review it for a week*
This was common occurrence with the guy and ultimately no one wanted to work with him..
Oh gosh, I’ve experienced similar ‘deadlines’ like that. It can definitely be frustrating.

I would never do that to you OP!
Awww thanks! I’ve been fortunate to have some truly amazing bosses in my career also. Not all VP’s are bad. 😃
When I was in high school I worked in a restaurant as a waitress. My parents made me work there. I complained to my manager about some of my coworkers harassing me (grabbing my butt, trying to flash me, asking me extremely inappropriate things) and my managers way of fixing it was telling me I was only allowed to walk back into the kitchen for my tables food and nothing else because it was my fault and I was distracting all the kitchen workers with my body…
Wow, that’s wrong on so many levels. I’m sorry you had such an unsupportive manager.

So just threaten her back with leaving? Not sure why you can’t just call HR on her.
LMAO I did leave.
