UGH! One of these days I am going to post something that is nothing but happiness and blue skies! Today is not that day. LOL

At my job my best friend got the position of accounts payable supervisor. I was very happy for her and thought she would be great in that role. Well I couldn't be more wrong! First let me tell you being the supervisor carries no real weight with it. She cannot authorize time off or a change in schedule. But since becoming supervisor she is under the impression that she is equal to the bigwigs who have an office.
We had a temp working in our department. She actually had been a temp at our University for a very long time in different departments. She finally got hired permanently in my department. She is very smart and caught on quickly to the job. But supervisor has never liked her. And I am not sure why. I thought things were getting better for my co worker as she got a one month review Friday and she said it went very well. She went out to lunch friday with some other people on our floor. She got back late, maybe 15 to 20 minutes late. She immediately went to our supervisor and apologized and said she would make up the time. Supervisor was enraged. And apparently stewed about it all weekend. We come in this morning and once the supervisor came in (she's always a few minutes late) she sent an email to her department. She assigned us lunch times and even when we can go to break! She also reported my co-worker to human resources for insubordination.
To make a long story short... I will have to give my side of what I witnessed and some of the unfair treatment my co-worker has received. This is no joking matter as I think the supervisor could be fired for some things she has done. The most incriminating is that one time we were walking up the hallway to our desks, coming back from lunch. The supervisor was walking to her desk with her lunch in one hand and a sharp knife in the other. She waved the knife at my co-worker. At the time I thought she was trying to be funny, though I didn't see the humor. Apparently every time my co - worker goes to the supervisor's desk, she waves the same knife at her. I believe that is terroristic threatening?
I know the supervisor is counting on our friendship to protect her. But I will not lie and I will tell what I have witnessed. I will not stand for someone being bullied!
In my opinion the supervisor took a situation that was very minor and created a monster out of it.
I would appreciate and thoughts or prayers for tomorrow. In the meeting will be human resources, an assistant controller and the vice president! After the meeting I might just take the rest of the day off because I foresee being a bundle of nerves.
