So...My boss's boss sent me an email the other day and cc'd another employee; basically, the email accused me of deceptively altering the notes "lying" in our company's order tracking system. It started with the "boss" asking me to update notes in the system. After looking in the system, I saw my notes were entered last week.
I replied to his email saying that the notes were already in the system.
A few hours later, he responded and cc'd my direct supervisor with the following statement:
Just to clarify…I typically look at the orders and notes before I ask however not always. In this case I did look and they were not there. The system does note when things are changed and you appear to have added these notes after I sent the email.
Unfortunately, he failed to realize that every time you hit the "save" button in the system, it shows a record as updated whether anything was entered, changed, or not.
I went to IT and had them pull a report to indicate exactly when the notes were entered and their report, indeed, showed I was correct.
Is this slander? I was going to confront him with this evidence and proof but am wondering if I should just go directly to HR.
By the way, I have NO write-ups, nothing but positive reviews and comments from customers, etc. I have been with the company about a year and this guy has several HR reports against him for various reasons.
Any advice is welcomed.
