NSW Boss Sent My Complaint to Colleague - Allowable Under Employment Law?

[Harry P]

Hi there

Last week, I wrote an email to my boss complaining to my boss about how a colleague (who reports to the same boss) had not done their job properly and affected my work. My boss has now forwarded that email (without my knowledge) to the colleague I complained about to get their view.

Is this OK under Employment Law? It will now create a very awkward situation between the colleague and myself and invite recrimination the way I see it.

Thanks

Yes. Not a wise thing to do by your boss, but not illegal.

Thanks Rod. It seems like a divide and conquer technique by my boss. Has anyone any ideas how to handle this?
