I’m also confused by the way she’s interpreting things. She got a fairly positive response, in which the boss was a little defensive but ended up saying everything was a misunderstanding [a chance to clarify things there], and she stopped answering to ‘let him soak’. Soak in what? All the resentment she very violently threw at his face? Maybe their biggest problem is that she is acting like it is a personal issue, not a professional one. Of course, the professionals are people inside, but it is helpful to keep affairs separate when one tries to ultimately make oneself heard.
