My supervisor is out of town this week and asked me to act for her. It's fine except that she's constantly emailing everybody in the division, micromanaging from afar. Just now she emailed the admin assistant on the status of a worksheet, and a cat fight ensued in cyberspace. The assistant is sniping at her with open hostility, and back and forth it went. I know most ppl have had their problems with the supervisor, but this is the first time I've seen such venom from a staff member. This is not going to end well.
I was in on one of those snippy emails last week and it was entertaining. My managers manager was getting into it with an account exec from Spain and...it was interesting.
As long as nothing is going to come back on you just sit back and watch it unfold. If you do get brought into it be overly nice and CYA as much as possible.
