for now i've set up a filter to send everything to junk
and now that i think about it, i can let the #### sit there and pile up so that i have a record for when it comes to HR time
i've had....... a problem..... once before here, years ago. i reported it to my supervisor, who sent it to my manager, who sat me down in an office and told me to grow some hard bark and shut the #### up about it because she didn't want to have to deal with HR over it.
feeling wronged, i went to HR.... who went to my manager.. who told me that i usurped the chain of command and i was now on probation. another mis-step would see me in a "review" status which is the last step before being fired.
after that i was refused promotion and my raises went from a paltry 2.5 - 3% down to 0.5 - 0.8% because "business".
i've since changed departments, supervisors, managers and don't report to the same higher ups so, less worried about consequences but also.. fool me once shame on me. fool me twice, i'm out of a job.
