I think that's been clear since the first post, at least for
the person posting.
BTW, no matter how things like this turn out, continued
delving into who's right and who's wrong will only bring
heartache. The only happy conclusion comes when you
leave and hear a short time later that the person who
made your life miserable on the job has "left to pursue
other opportunities." There are few work-related
experiences that can compare.
