Bea,
I just read your follow-up post to your situation.
You need to go with what your gut instinct tells you - so, not saying anything and waiting to see what happens is your best choice.
Side note... I got some really good advice from my boss yesterday (we are pretty close and he trusts my confidence and I know he has my back, too
) regarding my other "people issue" that is going on at work with with Ms. Poly Urethane ... remember her? Well, he told me some things where she tried to make me look like a horrible cruel monster (which I am not - but that was her only feeble defense) where she exaggerated a single incident where I had a confrontation with her one day about her lack of sharing information with us admins in the office... Anyway, the advice he gave me was that my good reputation with this company preceeds me, and that Ms. Poly Urethane might try but she can't ruin my reputation as a good employee - that everyone here at work knows the real "me" and everyone can see right through "Ms. Poly Urethane" and boss suggested that I take the high road and not worry about her. It was an isolated incident, just blow it off and forget about it. Deal with her on a professional level, but leave my personal feelings about Ms. Poly Urethane out of it. ....So that's what I've been doing these couple of months, and is what I will continue to do.
So, Dear Bea, just try to stay professional. Don't let your boss's actions hurt your personally. Try to keep a level "professional" head about you and if you do feel you want to talk to him some time about stuff, keep it on a professional level.
Take care, Bea!
