Being challenged

As an individual person with PD, what do you do if someone challenges you to do something that you know they don't actually expect you to do but could actually kick up a $#%^ storm?

I had a heated argument with my immediate manager last week and in the end she told me to take it further. She knew she was in the wrong and all I really wanted was an amicable resolution to the whole thing but as she threw me this challenge I did take it to hr and higher management have become involved. I know she wouldn't have really wanted me to do this as it leaves her exposed as a poor manager but as she challenged me I couldn't back down.

What do you think about this? Would you have taken it higher or just leave it alone?

My suspension is about a different matter BTW.

again idk the exact situation like in ur other thread so cant say

but in regard to challenges i can back down if i need to. im not some type of crazy neanderthal

I wait till the next day when I can think clearly I think through the situation and talk to them about it then.

It's because I'm not satisfied with her standard of management skills. So every now and then I like to call her out on certain things. I don't do it all the time tbh. I do let a lot of things go but every now and then I like to question her on certain things. In this case she was twisting my questions into something I hadn't asked and so I kept just asking the same question again and she kept twisting it and blowing it out of proportion. It was obvious she didn't want to answer the question I had asked and kept on addressing the question I hadn't asked. It's funny really but then she made the mistake of challenging me to take it higher. I know she didn't expect me to do this but I did. I'm not all that bothered about the argument I had with her as it was something and nothing.

I've been suspended anyway and I'll probably get fired this time so the whole thing matters not one jot. Just thought I'd see what others thought of this.

I am thinking clearly when I approach her.

i think as long as ur confident ull be fine

u cant go to upper management tripping over words about it. this is a big deal for ur future. and u ARE confident, as shown by ur willingness to take up the challenge and just the manners in which u are talking about this

take no prisoners!!

i ignore being challenged like that. if they get too rowdy then i just leave. i've suddenly quit plenty of places. "YOU'RE DOING THIS AND THAT" "alright, then ###$ you. see you in hell! "

I always feel like I have to fight everything. Its like I'm scared not to.

I wish I could be more like what you say you are.

Hm I cant remember that ever happened to me. Do you feel people challenge you a lot?

Yes but I am really competitive as well.
