Work related issue

Hi all...would like to get feedback on a work related issue.

I put in a lot of hours at my job. A part-time employee complained to my boss that I was "always" talking about how much I work and that I was directing it towards her and making her feel uncomfortable because she wasn't. Of course, I wasn't. I was always talking to others and she just eavesdrop. She later retracted her statement and said she was wrong.

In my recent annual job review, my boss brought up this situation and made it look like I instigated the situation. This is a formal, written annual review.

Should I write an addendum to go with this explaining all the circumstances? I am afraid it will cause much friction between me and my boss. But I also don't want false statements about my employment made. Thanks!

Agree w Dottie. Need to have a clarification listed in the file . Things do come back to haunt u.

When it comes to unfair accusations in the workplace, the rule of the jungle, unfortunately, is "perception is reality."

If you boss perceives that you acted badly toward this temp, you have to refute it as simply as possible and move forward from there. Refuting it with vehemence will only persuade your boss that it's true.

The important thing is your ongoing relationship with your boss. Don't make this about the temp and his/her accusations. That's history. Focus on your job performance and your relationship with your boss.
