As an update - my manager actually mentioned it to me today, and thanked me for taking the initiative to send it out. She has noticed that C does this frequently (even done it to herself a couple of times), and kind of said that it is a little bit of "just the way she is". However, she might see if it needs to be escalated, because, as a few of you all have mentioned, it does make it more... intimidating, I guess, to send future emails when you feel like a micropenis after one of her "follow ups".
So, thanks to all of you for keeping me from stomping into my manager's office, and it looks like it might be self resolving!
I think I'd be more embarrassed for myself than upset with her. From her perspective, someone who is not a manager just sent out procedures that are outdated or incorrect and now someone needs to clarify the procedures in order to keep people from doing things in an outdated manner. I understand that replying just to you and having you send out the correction would have saved face for you, but as a manger, I would have wanted to clarification to come from me (or another manager), just to avoid further confusion. That said, I think there is a right and a wrong way for her to do that. Like, "Nooooo Sally is wrong, don't do that!!" vs. "In our branch we've been finding that XYZ works better and so that is the procedure that should be followed by all branches" Or whatever. I apologize if this is harsh. I am sorry this happened, though. It sounds like you were just trying to be helpful, which is great.
No, I get it. Maybe the anger came from defensiveness as well. So I won't say anything to my manager. Combo of defensiveness and "don't like that bitch" for the emotional win. Thanks for talking me down!

I didn't respond to her email, I just didn't know what to say. I can't talk to her directly, in my organization, it's very "chain of command" heavy. I just didn't know if I was feeling too much about it because I already just generally dislike her.
Eta: holy cap, how many times can I say "just" in one post? Apparently, many. I promise I grammar better usually.

At my job, we are regularly told and encouraged to "share our knowledge". Yesterday, I was showing a new employee a process, and it came out that my other colleague, a seasoned employee, wasn't aware of how to do it either. They recommended that I send an email to our region (about 25) people explain it, because we have a lot of new hires in this area and it did help make the process smoother.
I spent about fifteen minutes putting the email together (screen shots, step by step, etc) and sent it out. Must of my colleagues were appreciative.
I come back from lunch, and see that the manager of another branch has responded, and responded TO ALL (intentional, not an accident) basically saying don't use that process, it's outdated and this us the process to use.
I'm not mad about there being an easier way, that's great! But the way that she did it really bothers me. It was embarrassing, and, in my opinion, unprofessional to essentially call me out. I think a better way would have been to email JUST me, and I could send a correction myself, while giving her credit for the update.
I'm debating mentioning this to my manager. I know that this manager, C, is likely BEC with me, because she is constantly doing things like this, to have the last word our site that she knows the most, but never to this extent - usually just adding her two cents to someone else's email, not saying, no, you're wrong.
Would this piss you off? Would you let it go? Or talk to your manager? Am I being a baby?

Heading out to dinner for bil birthday. I rarely get to dress up, do fancy makeup/hair, so I'm taking the excuse, lol. May be overdressed, but I feel great!
I've had the app for hours, seems like no visits, and whenever I check in, nothing happening. Wtf? I have a rubber ball, yarn ball, baseball AND a box! What am I doing wrong?
Do you have food out?
Yes! Had the free stuff for a while, bought fancy sashimi. Still no luck.

I don't really like starting these, but I totally played around today and want feedback. I tried to do a cut crease, and think I was semi successful, but can definitely do better. I used karima's tutorial which, I love her ending look.

I tried curling my hair with a flat iron, which worked for approximately ten minutes, lol. Also trying falsies and a bright lip. And filtered the shit out of it. ?
Quick question on the workouts, are the free ones on Pinterest the same as the ones you pay for from her site?
I found her whole guide on Pinterest.
They're also available for free on Scribd, that's where I originally read them. I'm in the 7 day free trial period for the app, after that it will be $19.99/month. We'll see if I keep it past that.
I've looked at her nutrition and it doesn't seem like enough calories!
This is what I've been reading when looking at reviews. I actually don't know how many calories it really is (I don't count - I get obsessive about it, so the macro thing is more relaxing and stress free for me), but she said it's close to 1600. I'm just about to dig into the afternoon snack, and I'm not super starved, but I also haven't worked out yet. After the cucumber and hummus, all that's on the books for the rest of the night is fish tacos.
I don't know how it can be so expensive to eat so little! I struggle with finding the right balance of eating too much or too little, and honestly, just want to follow a plan somebody lays out for me. I'm REALLY good at following directions. That's what appealed to me about this originally, but I don't think it's sustainable.

I know there are a couple people here who have done/are doing this program. Has anyone also followed her meal plan? I got the app and am trying out the food, but holy shit, my grocery bill!
If you've done her workouts, but not the nutrition, what were you eating? What was a typical day for you?

Morning! No inspiration other than wanting to use this lipstick. I think I have bought all the colors in the rimmel moisture riche line, I love them! Great colors and they feel so good in the lips!
