OR SecretaryComplaint


 * FAO The Manager, Division of Personnel


 * I would like to file an official complaint about Chief Brian Irons and his recent behavior towards me.


 * I have worked as Chief Irons' personnal secretary for a good many years now until recently we have had a very
 * good professional relationship. However, over the last six months or so, his behavior has changed a lot - in fact
 * I would say dramatically.


 * The first incident I would like taken into account happened on April 6th. I had moved one of the statues on the
 * second flood of the building because, quite honestly, it was in the way. I merely moved it from the middle of the
 * room to closer to the edge.


 * However, Chief Irons took this extremely badly, screaming at me that I should never move ANY statue in the
 * building and that I should stick to typing letters and taking letters as that was what I was paid for. He used a
 * range of bad language as he shouted this at me. I was, as you can imagine, very shocked.


 * Chief Irons later apologized to me, explaining that he had things on his mind, but reiterated in no uncertain
 * terms that I was to leave all of his statues and art alone as he had them all just as he liked them.


 * Obviously this exchange left me feeling very abused and angry, and I began looking at Chief Irons differently
 * as a result. Thinking about what he'd said, I began to wonder why he had so much fine art. How on earth could
 * he afford this on his salary?


 * But the final straw came yesterday, June 8th, and is the main cause of my complaint: I was cleaning Chief Irons'
 * office in his absence, as I often do, when he walked in on me. I don't know what had gotten into him, but he
 * began yelling at me, cursing and acting very threatening, screaming that I should keep away from all of his
 * personal things, and that I was a "snooping bitch".


 * And this coming from the Chief of Police? I admit I burst into tears and left. I shouldn't be treated like that - I
 * was just doing my job. I can't help it if he thinks people are going to be thumbing through his belongings when
 * his back is turned can I? It makes me think he must have something to hide and suggest that Irons himself is
 * investigated.


 * I doubt very much I shall be returning to work any time soon, but I await your response with interest.
