Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Wife's new supervisor is turning out to be a heinous *****. 6 months ago wife's beloved direct supervisor retired. They hired a replacement, but they divided the role into operations and line of business responsibilities, and gave my wife a newly created, associate director position with some operational responsibilities, reporting to the new director. The new director has been a problem from day 1: she is judgmental, quick to leap to conclusions, confrontational, and she has undermined my wife repeatedly.
A few months ago, my wife was given responsibility for managing IT, despite a complete lack of experience in the area. Soon after she started the role, she was involved in a botched application for a technology grant - she reduced the size of the ask to make it more targeted, without getting management buy-in. Senior management found out at the last minute and upped the ask without telling my wife, then came back and demanded to know what was going on. Wife explained her (very sound) reasoning behind reducing the ask to make it more targeted and more likely to succeed. Unfortunately, they did not get the grant. Wife apologized profusely, went through a process of 1) explaining her reasoning and 2) identifying where she could have handled the process differently / better. She thought (and was told) it had been left behind and everything was fine, and went back to her usual daily grind of too many projects and not enough support.
Well, yesterday her supervisor informed her that, "I would be remiss if I did not write you up for what happened, and place it in your permanent record. You will have an opportunity to rebut, but you, the CEO, and I will all be signing the write-up." Wife is freaking out and was in tears last night, we were both up until all hours and now I'm sitting in a training class trying to keep my eyes open.
Why the eff would you write someone up for a mistake? What kind of petty, punitive bullshit is that?









tl;dr: wife is stressed at work, making me lose sleep.

I'm pissed at how ******* self-riteious/self-indulgent these ******* animal adoption places are.
We had some people come to the condo and just start nitpicking at the block we live in (which has a large dog friendly park 500feet away and a uninterrupted 1 mile loop of sidewalk that surrounds it). Our building is totally dog friendly and we have a signed papers stating so on the contracts since day one. We already have a dog walker set up and even an agility school/training people waiting. Yet you get these ******* barely over 20y/o dipshits acting like they are entrusting me to care for a living Faberge egg.
I'm a motherfucking doctor you *************, I know that diarrhea is a bad thing for a dog... I also know that the ******* 20 vets that live within 2miles of the house have that knowledge too.
ugghhh... I've never wanted to ******* just slap some one across the face while they started blabbering self righteously so badly.
This is not going as planned at all. Maybe I should just go rogue and buy a pure bread dog on my own.... my wife will love it regardless.

I doubt you'll run into such self-righteousness and pomposity when adopting a child.

what are the legal implications of me secretly filming one of these ridiculous conversations I had with the animal adoption idiots?

if I post it on the interwebs I know that it will become a shitstorm of but then again this must be exposed.
