I called in to work late today - I came in at 9 am so now I have to work until 5 pm. Because I was afraid of being alone with vice president from 8 am to 9 am.
President called me and vice president into the office and basically said that I do not talk (talk as in tell jokes, share stories, tell personal info, etc.) and it makes everyone tense (no not everyone just vice president) - are you kidding me - I said that vice president crossed the line and then he apologized.
President said that he wants me and vice president to be civil and I said that I am civil and that I want a stickly professional relationship with vice president and that he does not seem to understand that. Then president says to vice president - do you understand what Jackie is saying and he said yes.
I do not know what to do now - they basically turned it around to make it look like it was my fault - that since I did not talk to vice president that I deserved this somehow. (Hello - I cannot stand the man and that is why I do not care to talk to him about anything other than work)
I said that I felt very comfortable and I want to be assured that it would never happen again. Vice president said sorry again and promised it would never happen again - but I do not believe him - I am never going to win. President and Vice President are together and vice president is always going to win no matter what - President will always make excuses for him.
I was looking for jobs on the internet all weekend - I did not find one single one I would even apply for - it is so bad for jobs right now - so many people are getting laid off - but I will keep looking - everyday.

Does your company have an HR department. This feels like something that should be documented...
Yeah, I agree with what Megan said. It should probably be handled by HR. The President and VP are both men right? Unforunately, I think if the President was a woman, this would be handled differently. Im sorry you are having to deal with all of this! :-(
I'm really hoping you have an HR department and that they get involved asap. This is ridiculous! GL with the job search -- I have quite a few friends who are looking as well and it's just not easy. Hang in there.
Nope no HR department - it is a small law firm - about 6 people - thats it.
Oh I'm sorry you have to deal with that. You have enough going on to stress you out that you don't need this too. It sucks that it is just a small law firm so there is no HR and the two guys seem to be buddies. Good luck with the job search, it is hard now, but you never know when a great job will appear.
They are not just buddies - they are gay lovers and they have been together for 30 years - I am never going to win this one.
