bad advice


Question Posted Friday November 2 2007, 7:54 pm

Don't you think that the following advice (The lawsuit part) I received from another website is bad advice: I think that anytime a manager is in a bad mood they should not open their mouth. With Tania it seems if she is in a bad mood she starts being unprofessional herself and creating a hostile work environment. I told you before and I will tell you again, if you want that woman removed quickly then you and at least one other staff member has to file a lawsuit against your firm for creating a hostile work environment. Believe me, once your company gets served they will move mountains to get Tania out of there because failure to do so could end up meaning they pay millions of dollars in damages to those who filed suit. There are federal employment laws against being treated the way Tania treats you all.

HERE IS THE STORY I ASKED ABOUT: I work in a large company. About a year ago Tania replaced the male manger who everyone loved. Tania is very mean spirited and is always moody. You never know if she is going to be mean or nice. She has caused such friction in our department that people are at each other throats. Our clients have been noticing a change in my coworkers spirits. And yesterday she called one of our most professional workers unprofessional due to the fact that this coworker had to leave because of an emergency at home. Tania will write people up for nonsense (for things she could just ignore).
The reason I think the advice is bad is because I need my job so why would I cause friction and file a lawsuit. After that I would have to quit my job. Also one major client called the CEO's office and told the CEO what is happening in my department

Additional info, added Saturday November 3 2007, 7:53 pm:
I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT TANIA HAS WORKED IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND EVERY DEPARTMENT THAT TANIA WORKED IN WAS HAPPY WHEN TANIA LEFT. ONE PERSON (MALE) WHO WORKED WITH HER WHO REMAINED FRIENDS WITH HER SAID TO A COWORKER OF MINE "I LIKE TANIA BUT MY DEPARTMENT IS SO MUCH BETTER OFF WITHOUT HER - TANIA CAUSED SO MUCH FRICTION".

I do agree that the advice given would cause more problems that it would fix. As you said, if you went ahead and filed a lawsuit you'd probably have to quit your job.

When it comes to work and the environment you're working in, specifically when it's about the people your working with and they way they are towards you then the matter should be taken up with the person next in line above the person you have the problem with. It would then be handled and taken care of from there. If nothing is done then you could very well take it further up the chain of command but this in my view would be the best course of action.

Also, as someone else stated, the way this woman is could very well just be she is being very professional about the work as opposed to your last boss who may have been more relaxed and chilled out.

Personally, I think they may have thought of your story as so she was just a meany [you know the word] to everyone and was just plain out ridiculous. When I read it, I just think before you had an easy going, free spirited loved guy. This woman is probably either new or very professional and wants to show her boss that she can do the best she can. I think you should continue working but if she ever specifically does something in harm of you, or makes you feel uneasy, then you should pursue action.
