I don't directly report to the VP, but he questioned one of my decisions and gave his input to his employees. He accidentally CC'd me in the email, and clear as day he called me an idiot

The email was recalled, but I think if I go to HR they could pull it up. Should I? Or are they going to fire me instead? He's the VP, I'm a lower position then he is

It's probably not a good idea to go to HR. Depending on how well you know him and what kind of sense of humor he has, you could maybe make some snarky comment to him about it in person. But trying to get him in trouble over it won't end well for you.

They will find a bullshit reason to fire you. Unless you don't live in an at will employment state. I do, and they would definitely fire me if I tried to get a top position person in trouble. They'd be like you were consistently taking 1 minute longer than your allotted lunch time or something. Businesses are shady

Call him an idiot back, and then if they try to fire you over it reveal the fact that he called you one first.

Foolproof plan, they cannot do shit to you bro.

I didn't make any mistakes, I was doing what the COO ordered me to do. Nothing more or less

This is the VP of the company. He's a top dog, and I've been trying to move up with this company for years. So seeing this email is an insult

Don't get me wrong, I get it

We recently fired this one woman. She was a horrible worker but technically wasn't breaking any rules. So we monitored her heavily until we found a reason to get rid of her

It's not okay. But the fallout from trying to get the vp in trouble is probably not worth it. Nothing will happen to the vp and it will probably just make his life harder.

I 100% agree with that, but there are some people that seem to legit think it's acceptable behavior.

He's not getting fired for calling you an idiot. Maybe you'd get fired for calling him one, but he won't be. Only thing that'll happen is that people will know you're a hypersensitive whining baby.
