Farmer Jane 281 Posts Nov 19, 2008 Good for you for bringing it to HR. Never be a doormat. It's not awful to want someone fired when that someone is harassing you.

THAT Nurse., MSN, RN, APRN 163 Posts Specializes in Family Practice/Primary Care. Has 16 years experience. Nov 19, 2008 Jay,It is just fine to hope they fire her. It is just fine to hope she loses her license.It is just fine to smile as she loses her car, home, clothes off her back, and starves on the street. Remember, this woman is trying to destroy you. Treat her as the hated enemy she is.

heron, ASN, RN 3,496 Posts Specializes in Hospice. Has 51 years experience. Nov 19, 2008 Hang in there, Jaybird. Now's the time to keep it very professional.Though who can blame you for blowing up after those remarks about your family!!!She is creating a hostile work environment ... and did so in front of your manager and HR. Have you checked out your employee handbook on the subject? It may give ways to file a grievance if the current managers drop the ball.Good luck ... and speaking as a feminist who is both an abuse survivor and an old advocate for abused women ... I'm so sorry this nutjob focussed on you. You don't deserve this aggravation.
Straydandelion 630 Posts Nov 19, 2008 You know this woman either really has a screw loose or I must remind her of some guy who did her wrong because she was about the most unprofessional human being I've ever seen and she continued to try and defend herself by belittling me even in front of the NM and HR guyDefinitely sounds like it!

You don't deserve this aggravation.Well thank you for not letting your history make you believe that all men are pigs and awful human beings like this woman thinks. Sad thing is I'm actually a really good guy, and she never bothered to get to know that before throwing accusations. Now I want her gone from my workplace. Thank you guys all for helping me keep sane over this the last couple of days. I did talk to my NM actually I'm off to have a drink with her and a couple of co workers. So I'll know something when I return later.

Satori77, ADN 516 Posts Specializes in Med Surg/Ortho. Has 5 years experience. Nov 19, 2008 Wow, some people are just incredible....can't beleive someone that is supposed to be a caring induvidual and non-judgemental (that is how a nurse should be anyway), would be so cruel for no reason. Glad you got your meeting, sounds like she made a fool of herself. Hope your little problem with be gone tomorrow, for good. Keep us updated.
heron, ASN, RN 3,496 Posts Specializes in Hospice. Has 51 years experience. Nov 19, 2008 Well thank you for not letting your history make you believe that all men are pigs and awful human beings like this woman thinks.No thanks needed ... it's simple respect owed to another human to take them as they are, with as few assumptions as possible about what that is.We don't even know if her own history has anything to do with her behavior. You said she had no explanation to offer, just continued her trash-talk during the meeting.Anyway ... I never did buy the "abuse excuse". I've seen it pulled out of the hat way too often.Whatever her agenda, we hope she takes it elsewhere ... or gets some serious help!
Batman24 1,975 Posts Nov 19, 2008 I'm so happy you went to HR. I was really worried about you. And don't feel bad about wanting her fired. Anyone would want someone making slanderous comments about them gone from their place of employment.I hope they did fire her but if they didn't be sure to never be alone with her and continue to document all her comments including date, time, what was said, and who witnessed the comments. Continue to put all her comments into a WRITTEN formal complaint each and every time it happens.Good luck with school and don't let this loon get you down. Concentrate on your studies and your little baby doll to be. This is about her not you.
