What would you do? I have a peer that emailed me to ensure my report and I were operating in an ‘equitable and inclusive way’. After i asked for clarity she realized she mis read a message from us and promptly apologized. Here is where I’m concerned- I feel like something must be going on for her to go up this chain of accusation so quickly. This is not healthy culture for anyone, Do I inform my manager? Her manager?

I think you need to have a conversation to better understand the situation before you draw any conclusions. Not sure I agree with escalation based on a series of events that may (or may not) have happened.

I think maybe it’s good she brought it up as her reaction and realizing she was wrong vs not and letting it fester. It’s a good sign on your behalf that ppl are comfortable to bring it to your attention to give you the opportunity to respond. Whatever it was must have been personally triggering for her to raise it to that level of saying something.

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

How does that resonate for you? Have you had similar experiences?

I’ve been at a job a year and have what I would call a very toxic manager.

I let them know how this made me feel and they stopped however I continue to notice how manipulative and condescending they are. My mental health is at a low. We are about to be at our busy season but I want to leave so bad. Should I wait until after the busy season or leave asap?
