I recently had an employee working with me that was very lazy and not a good worker. On various occasions many of us have talked to her about issues. So I involved hr today yesterday actually and I told her we needed to have a meeting about her job performance. She responded.... lashed out and said that she was tired of managing my mood.. that she had heard me tear down person after person in the office .... over the last year... that I was just her next victim...in caps letters that she hopes I have documentation of her performance issues because she will be taking notes..... threatnening me tell me she would go into detail about things I have said which arent legit anyways.....and then was straight on the defense. She had major performance issues and ended up backing out on the meeting before we got into it... and emailed my boss saying "realistically I am not going to work under "me"". Ive seen things as theyve been implemented and ive seen enough". My boss then said pack up your stuff and never come back basically to her. Have you ever had someone personally attack you like this? I asked several other employees and none of them said I had "torn anyone down" or even that I ever slammed doors or was moody. Ever. I just dont know...

Yes. This anonymous boring, long winded troll question has been repeated many times.

Yes. I had an employee who, unbeknownst to me, marched over to HR with a ream of printed emails, and proceeded to tell them horror story after horror story about me. Somehow he got it in his head that I was playing games, excluding him from important meetings, giving the good work to everyone else. He thought I was plotting against him and trying to drive him crazy.



He told HR I had been harassing him. That's a very hot button in big corporate, so they took it very seriously, until he started describing what I had done. The two things I remember HR telling me he complained about were that I invited him out to lunch, and that I talked to him. There was other stuff that wasn't as memorable, nor quite as unbelievably absurd, but plenty of absurdity did spew forth.



Ultimately his complaint backfired. HR found him to be insubordinate and instructed my management put him on a performance plan (a warning, with a plan to improve). He started to accuse me again of stuff and act irrational, but before HR gave me the okay to fire him he left on his own.



It was a painful and horrible experience.

Sounds like she may have some issues from this description and I wouldn't take it personally.
