i hope you can advice re a work question. its almost two years since i've been with my current employer and department. my boss is a pain in the ass has been with the company for 10+ years and no one likes working for him. he is a very intelligent but no personal skills.

there is another woman int he office whose went on sabbatical a few months back. cribed about boss ALL THE TIME but never ever pushed back with him. since she left, the 4 who report to her have found out she's lied to them about a lot of things, has kept things from them and been doing things to dent their progression. the 4 are junior to me and have told me everything and i believe them and find that she is a proper schemer. she's been int he company 10 years or so.

now we're being reorgnaised and someone's been brought in over boss' head. woman on sabbatical (with 5 months to go on her sabbatical still) has set up a meeting with the new big boss without our boss' knowledge.

i am seeing big boss tomorrow, for a regular meeting. should i 'let slip' anythign about what's going on the dept re mrs sabbatical or should i not. i work with mrs sabbatical am senior to her but i find people like her 'bad blood' for the team and would love to be able to show her for what she is and get her out of my team. but given the lenght of service of mrs sabbatical i am concerned i will end up looking like a 'bad mouther' instead.

any advice?

Any way to let it slip without sounding like a bad mouther?

i think so squinkies, big boss will defo ask me hows things are so i can begin with 'mood not so great' and if proded say more.

part of me sez dont get involved the other part sez you cant let ppl get away with that. the 4 are hoping i can help them as they dont want to work for her but its not the best time for looking for jobs.

Do you know what current boss's position will be in the new set-up? (He must be pretty fed up btw). If he's still going to be superior to mrs sabbatical, seems reasonable for you to let BB know you've heard that mrs sabbatical has set up meeting with BB and outline reasons (I'm sure you can think of some!) why current boss would be useful to have at meeting - it would spike mrs S's guns good & proper to find him there! There may be more to it than meets the eye of course, maybe mrs S knows something you don't about the new structure...
