Hi Steve,
No prior issues and I thought that I got along with her. I have no idea what
if anything will happen and don't want to seem litigious but appropriate
boundaries have to be established in the workplace.
Take care,
John

It does indicate that this manager may have acted a little strongly, unless
there had been other issues with this employee in the past. Have you had
other issues with your manager in the past? Do you get along with your
manager?
