I got a strange, urgent call yesterday from a co-worker who had originally been assigned as my mentor, but then had to withdraw for personal reasons. She was aware that I had lodged an objection over perceived unfair treatment I had received from someone in our organization, and had taken it upon herself to report this dispute further up the management ladder. My feeling is that this was not an act of unselfish concern, but a means of bolstering her own case against the same individual. Though I intend to tread carefully (not wishing to be the foot soldier for someone else's battle), I will at least explore where this may lead.
