Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy’s own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
My line manager shouted at me in front of my colleagues for something that I did not do. She later sent me a text to apologise, but I feel so upset and humiliated as a result of her behaviour.
Our relationship had been a positive one before this incident, so her behaviour came as a shock. I did not expect her to behave like that towards me, or indeed anyone else. What really hurts is that she did not even try getting my side of the story first. I have been in tears because I liked and respected her. I suppose I thought I knew her.
I’m also just plain angry that I let her get away with disrespecting and humiliating me. What should I do?
