I was working with a White women who was senior to me and asked me to prepare a financial report. I told her that I would speak to another senior staffer and get her the information. She went off on me and said that she couldn't believe I was trying to circumvent her authority like that. She said I needed to just do the report. She totally misunderstood me and the process. I had to speak to this other woman because part of the information she wanted came from that woman's department. It was a multi-department approach. Because this woman didn't understand the process, she immediately made a false accusation against me. In her capacity she should have known the process and if she didn't she should have asked before jumping to such a drastic conclusion.
