My colleague, who I'm also secretly having a "fling" with has been having a problem with one of the Supervisors. He told me he was going to set up an email address, pretend to be a customer, and send a letter to Head Office complaining about an encounter with said Supervisor.
What worries me is I let him send it off my Computer.
Anyway, the email sent. To me, it didn't really read like a genuine LoC in that, the writer names the Supervisor many times, but is evasive about everything else (i.e. Doesn't even state the gender of the colleague who apparently heard the remark). It claimed the Supervisor put through a transaction, which the Manager was able to check, and no transactions of that sort went through on the day they assumed the LoC referred to. (My colleague didn't state a day).
I arrived into work, and saw the Manager and the supervisor (to which the LoC refers) in the office having a discussion, and then I was called in. I shat myself at first. The manager informed me a LoC had been received, and just to make sure we're delivering excellent customer service. (God if only they knew).
The Area Manager also seems to be a bit wary of the email, saying the Supervisor is nothing like the rude b*tch my colleague tried to portray.
The Company have not yet replied.
We are worried - what if the company ask the police to trace the IP number or something? Do you think they'd bother?!
HELP!
End the fling as this colleague is nasty and vindictive and will eventually turn his/her venom onto you, this sort of communication causes no end of trouble, it's unlikely that the police will be called but it's very easy for the managers to obtain the i.p. number of the sender's computer...then they'll link it up to you...and then you'll lose your job. Best thing to do is to hope that this blows over and gradually finish with the letter sender
They aren't going to bother with that, but if they find out your fling is causing problems, he'll be gone and if you are in any way connected to him they will likely get rid of you too. Don't play games in the workplace.
I don't know exactly what kind of "problem" your "colleague" was having with the supervisor but it seems like he went about it very unprofessionally. Nevertheless, the damage has already been done and there is nothing you can do about it now. I highly doubt the police would get involved with something as simple as a complaint unless it was something more than that. If for whatever reason, you do get caught, tell them everything. Don't let this guy (who seems to handle disagreements like a child) get you fired from your job.
the police dont trace that
it would your company IT staff that would
