When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts" and you put your two cents in . . what happens to the other penny?

BATMAN RETURNS!

As a post-log to my previous post regarding my supervisor the swindler:

I called HR to ask what I should do about the situation. They told me the proper chain of command to follow, and I confided in the Chair of the Department. He was oddly very excited because they were looking to make paperwork against her (she's not the most cheery person).
They all had a meeting and the chair confronted her about her payroll reporting. She snapped. She screamed that it was none of my business and was saying that she wanted to file a grievance against me. The chair declined, nicely stating that she was crazy, and also noting the guilty behavior. Given, if someone came to me and said "We're suspiscious of your timecard reporting, so we're just going to look in to it a little", I would feel hurt, but not in denial. Fine with me. I'm honest, so you can look, but you won't find any discrepancies. Quite the opposite statement when you scream and try to put the blame and focus on an innocent by-looker.
At any rate, after a few days of meetings and meetings and meetings, they have revoked all of her managerial duties, rights, privileges, etc., and have put those responsibilities on a different staff member. She is now required to document every hour she is not in the office, the reason, and how she is going to make it up.
My new manager is a peach, but I still work in the same room as the old manager. She is very hostile to me and for the most part gives me the silent treatment. Which I really don't mind.
Since then, I have had multiple staff and faculty members coming to me and telling me how much they appreciate what i've done. I feel like Dorothy, getting swarmed by little munchkins after dropping a house on a witch.
Thanks for your support and comments friends and family!

  1. Good job, little sis. It was very noble of you, and you set a great example to everyone of standing up against something that was clearly evil. It's called justice. I'm super proud of you! It was scary, but it will pay off BIG TIME in the future as people remember your integrity.
