"Honestly it happened to a friend". Advice?

[SoCalRN1970]

One of my colleagues has been having big time issues with her manager. Borderline harassment, documented all interactions including follow ups.

Today it happened "by accident" She was with a colleague who was helping her with a "training" on new paperwork. The collegue was directed by the semi hostile supervisor to teach the paperwork etc.

While chatting through the boorish paperwork it was disclosed accidently by the colleague that the supervisor stated "you need to watch out for susie nurse" "She will bowl you over with her dominant personality, bosting on her knowlege and taking over".

I told "the friend" this is more then unprofessional and should be documented and reported to her supervisor. I know that there has been other concerns regarding this addressed with not much response.

Is this harassement? Or is it just bad managment. What should she do?

stay out of it.

person a and manager b don't get along. person c says that manager b "said something" about person a.

first, it reads like the plot line of "real housewives of medical county", with a petty catfight about to ensue after the commercial break.

does it do any good for your friend? the odds are against it.

nothing good can come of the "real" anything from anywhere-

The new colleague is not a potted plant, she may be new to the

workplace, but has experience working in nursing. She can decide for herself

who on the team is a problem or not and decide what to do if she is

confronted. I am referring to management or any other staff member.

In the meantime, do as you have stay out of it.

I have seen in some dysfunctional places, in a few weeks, they

all become friends...:smackingf

So, there is a lot to be said for staying out of the personality parades and just focusing on your job.

New employee will figure it out.

If my colleague shared this situation with me I'd say "Wow, what a though spot to be in. I hope you find a solution that works for you." And I'd promptly change the subject. In other words, MYOB. You are not involved, keep it that way.
