Bitch rescheduled the meeting. Wrote to the HR person, copying Road Runner, to say that she had not received written notification of unacceptable behavior from Road Runner. She also revealed the little gem that she went to HR last month to file a hostile workplace complaint. This is going to get ugly.windsor wrote:OZZIE4DUKE wrote:Let's hope so!ArkieDukie wrote:Bar Minion had a meeting with HR today, I'm guessing it is the one where she officially found out that Road Runner is firing her uncooperative ass.

Yee haw... definitely aArkieDukie wrote:It gets better. I've been working on fixing an issue with software on one of their lab's data analysis computers. This falls squarely in Bar Minion's responsibilities, but she has refused to help. After finding out about her latest antics, I told Road Runner I'd start emailing Bar Minion so we'd have a paper trail. This morning I emailed BM to ask for the software discs so I could reinstall the software as per the instructions from tech support. After about an hour, she told me that I could come to her and get the discs after I proved to her that I had Road Runner's permission to have them. Moreover, she knows how to resolve the problem but will not do so until she has Road Runner's permission to do so. I forwarded the email to Road Runner, copying BM, asking her to confirm that I have permission to work on this issue and she has permission to help.
Thanks for providing written evidence of uncooperative behavior, bitch.
contest. Document everything. Try to stay out of the way.

By the way...whatever happened to (drum roll) the Dragon Lady
Man, talk about a hostile workplace environment. Vibes for you, AD, and for the good guys/gals in the place. Keep us posted.ArkieDukie wrote:There have been no Red Dragon sightings lately.
What a fun-filled day. I emailed Natasha about something and received a response that she was going to be working from home, waiting for a cable repair person. BGS later told me that Natasha came into the lab to tell them she was going home, and it appeared that she had been crying. My money says that she received notification from HR that BM filed a hostile workplace complaint against her. I asked her to call me but never heard back. I'm a bit worried about her. Seriously, BM is a toxic bitch. I am really glad now that I did not send a response to BM's nasty gram about authorship.
BGS went into the lab to analyze some samples on the instrument that BM was supposedly managing. Since she has been sabotaged before, she checked the instrument settings in the tune file. Lo and behold, a couple of key values had magically been changed. The tune file in question was created by Boris, BGS and me when we tuned and calibrated the instrument (recall that Bar Minion was "sick" that day), and the new settings were NOT the ones we had saved. Last person to be seen messing with the tune file was ... drum roll ... Bar Minion. BGS got a screen capture of the modified tune file and I sent a report to Road Runner.
This is not the first time she has basically sabotaged her colleagues by altering instrument settings, but this is the first time we have recorded it. Unfortunately we have no direct evidence that she's the one who altered the file, but everyone knows that's what happened. BM is the one responsible for tuning and calibrating the instrument. If anyone other than her is set to use the instrument after her, she messes up the settings so their experiment will not work. She's done this to BGS so many times that she routinely checks all the settings before starting. BGS had given up on complaining about BM because Road Runner never believed her. So, alas and alack, the many other instances were not documented.
BM had a meeting with The Boss today. I saw her later, headed back to her office, carrying a folder. Methinks she is sharing her "hostile workplace" documentation with The Boss. Lord only knows what she told him. I would bet money that she scheduled the meeting with The Boss after she postponed her required meeting with Human Resources. If BM is ultimately terminated, it is going to require a police escort out of the building. Bitch is not going to go quietly, and she is going to cause a shitload of trouble on her way out the door.

I guess he should get points for honesty.
True that. Quick question: should I give Road Runner a heads-up on BM's meeting with The Boss or let her find out on her own? She is out of town until late tomorrow afternoon.lawgrad91 wrote:Man, talk about a hostile workplace environment. Vibes for you, AD, and for the good guys/gals in the place.
