had to NC for obvious reasons
So I've changed offices due to a change in position (higher paid position). In last job I had a number of (unpaid) responsibilities which have now been passed to other people still in that team.
last week I got an email from a member of the old team who I've never liked. I've always found her patronising, treating me like I'm stupid, but I've never stood up to her because I didn't want to get myself into trouble or know what to say in response. The majority of the team like her so I would have been on my own if I stood up to her. I was glad to leave but I will still come into contact with her ocassionally
anyway, in her email she states, (and I have summarised it so as not to identify me) with parts underlined and in bold - "xyz item has gone missing. have you taken it home. I am the person who is now in charge of abc so I will have to report this to (senior manager person)"
the responsibility is something she does not get any extra pay for and takes about 2 mins each week to do, yet her email makes it sound as though she's been promoted and is oh so important.
Also, she appears to be implying I have stolen the item which I have never once seen. I haven't and wouldn't take anything!
And there's what I think is a threat at the end!
I have replied saying I don't have it and sorry I can't help but now I think I should have said something else, but I'm not good at effective responses, especially those that won't get me into any trouble.
Should I leave it at the response I gave? My previous manager, which we shared, was a bit crap at dealing with her and the union rep is her friend.
