Boss from H-E-Double Hockey Sticks
I have a great job that I've been doing for almost 6 years, but I've been struggling mightily with the company's Chief Operating Officer of late. After 5+ years of exemplary behavior, $millions in revenue brought in and not so much as a smear on my record, I sent out an email to my clients that he and only he deemed inapropriate and received a "final written warning". The email took a small potshot at one our competitors, who have failed to address issues involved with a piece of software they make and we sell. Be that as it may, it made me a hero with my frustrated clients but I did own up to the "unprofessional" nature of its content.
This was months ago, but ever since, he likes to single me out in meetings and bring up this issue whenever he sees fit. People will say to me after, "what was THAT about"?
I get angry when this happens but bite my tongue and pray about it later usually followed by a great workout at the gym( I guess I should be happy about that because at my age, I need all the motivation I can get). I don't want to lose this job but I'm afraid bottling it up will cause me to come unhinged. I can forgive and forget but he won't. What to do, what to do?
