So about a month ago my manager calls me at work (while she is at work and on a work computer) to tell her how to get a document sent from one computer to another so she can print it out... It's a personal document (one regarding her husband).

I explain to her she can just attach it in email and send it from one computer to another... she doesn't understand what I'm talking about, so I log into my gmail (which is what she is dealing with) to step her through the process. We aren't supposed to be on the internet at work, but I figure it's my manager and I'm helping her out...

So today she tries to write me up for being on the internet at work checking my email on the same date as this occurred... What the flying frick? This bitch is trying to write me up to the owner for being on my email at work when the only reason I was was to help her with something she was doing that was personal on the internet...

I don't know how to handle this level of stupidity.

You can't even check your gmail at work? What kind of hell is that?

I know, right? but even then... what kind of hell is it that I get written up for using it for work?

Is there any interaction between you and the owner? If so, I'd tell them exactly what happened. If you say something to your manager first she will cover her own arse with the owner before you can tell your side of the story. This type of shite is exactly why I said I'd never have another job where I was in an office setting. I'm actually dealing with office type bullshite at one of the hospitals that I deal with, so I feel your pain.

I'm too nice, and I just can't figure out how to do it exactly... but she will regret the day that I do. I've never been around a more ignorant person in a managerial position.

I would start by emailing her nude pictures of myself.

If she complains you reply "I thought you were having problems with email attachments. "

If she doesn't complain

Furthermore I consider this to be a well thought out plan with no possibility of a bad outcome

Hopefully if you are written up you also have a space for a written response to what she is alleging you did.


I do, but I was so off taken and it was a month ago I forgot what had happened exactly. I told her it was cause I was helping the owner.... but later remembered I was actually helping her.

But at least you know she doesn't mind stabbing you in the back over nothing. I'd steer clear of her.


Your preaching to the choir.

Show proof of the phone call, website history, and confront her. Damn. Why are you going to just roll over and die ? Sounds like she set you up or is stupid. You need to go ape shite on her. Its your job and life. And if she doesn't back down then tell her you're going to talk to HER manager about her calling you. There's so many ways to win this its not even funny.

Find a job in a more professional setting. Seriously. It sounds like you are working for a shitty organization with shitty managers, and you can change that.

Call her in for a meeting with you, her, and the owner. Explain what happened, then demand she takes a week off, without pay as punishment.

Suggest that she use her time off to learn to write an email.

Tell the owner exactly what happened and he will probably fire the dumb broad for not knowing how to attach a document to an email.
