What is the best way to respond?

BTW, the VP is not your department VP, right? Talk to your manager. Maybe he would want o take it up with your department VP that this other big kahuna is trying to interfere in his bailiwick.

Also a good idea. You could CC the email to all involved in upper management but, a good idea to warn them that it is coming, they won't appreciate being blindsided.

You just said before to keep it subtle and not do anything directly. Now your licking the ass of a street shitter to involve all upper management over a fucking email link?

Could you be any stupider?

Shut up you stupid street shitter. You're making it worse.

That is correct. There is nobody above my manager, we don't have a VP

Am I?

That's why I said talk to manager. Managers are supposed to back you up in such cases, and he would know the politics better than OP.

As I said, it is a power play, and sometimes escalating rather than backing down is the only way out.

Asserting your position is not escalating it, dumbass.

Why he can't just present the original email and ask why she can't access it when her coworker can?

Wtf is the problem here?

Manager is passing the buck tho and trying to minimize his involvement. Basically he doesn't want to deal with them...and she wants me to come to her desk instead of email so I can kiss her ass.

The responses you see in this thread illustrate why most of these posters are not working.

I have been employed without break since I was 16 years old, only two different jobs since I was 25. Yeah, that's a questionable work history.

Curiosity killing the cat?

Don't apolgize for anything. Resend her the original e-mail, copy boss/manager, who ever... Say here's the e-mail I sent you with solution. PLease let me know if you need anything else.

Worst advice possible. VPs don't want to get hauled into what is essentially a cubicle squabble. You don't pull that trigger unless your job is on the line.
