A VP and I (Director) had a meeting regarding the organizational changes that were being made as a result of his being promoted to Vice President of IS. We went into a managers office since neither one of us had an office at the time of this meeting. We went into the office and sat down in the two side chairs across from the main desk seat.. He said "Before we start, I have a request." I said "OK.". He said "I need you to button your shirt." I looked down and my shirt did not need to be buttoned so I requested that we switch places so he would not be looking at a side view of my shirt. While we were switching places he said, "Well, you are a very beautiful woman, and I wouldn't want to become distracted." I said, "Thanks, but I really don't look at people at work like that. People at work are business people and I do not view them as male/female, just people at work." He responded, "OK." We proceeded to discuss the organizational changes.
I told our mutual boss (EVP) and he said he would handle it. I requested that it never happen again and told our boss that I did not want to be in meetings with this VP by myself ever again.
Now the VP has been saying derrogatory things about me and his managememt staff purposely excludes my managers in meetings they need to be involved in. He also not taken a single suggestion that I have made regarding our organizational changes.
This happened 3/2/06. I was supposed to be promoted June 1st. Now I am not being promoted because there is a perception that I am better than the rest of the people in the organization and my staff acts the same way. Also as I forward stuff to our boss that I deem misbehavior from the VP, (asking one of my managers direct reports why I don't like him) he states that I need to work it out with this VP and he can't resolve the issue between us. The organization percieves that there is a war going on between the two of us and our organizations, I have requeted specific examples but have received none so far.
Am I crazy, or is this way wrong?? Thus far, HR has not been involved.
THANKS!!
