Need some serious advice here guys. I just started a job as an accountant at a new company a couple of months ago and have been training under the controller to do the various tasks. Today, the controller and another coworker in our group went out for lunch and according to the other coworker, he said that he smelled alcohol on my breath today. This is totally baseless as I haven't drank for days.

Here's the kicker, the controller has cancer and part of the reason why I was hired was that he was taking reduced duties (working half days and taking weeks off at a time for treatment) and they were short staffed. I suspect he's paranoid about me edging him out of his role and he might be doing this as a result. Or maybe the cancer is fucking with his sense of smell, I dunno...

I've considered that the other coworker is stirring up shit, but I don't thinks that's likely due to my assessment of her personality so far and the fact that she wouldn't have anything to gain because she and I aren't directly competing for a role. (I'm a CPA like the controller, whereas she's more of an HR/Payroll person without a CPA).

There is also another person above us (VP, Finance) who've I considered talking about this to. Not sure if I should atm and pretend that I don't know about the accusation. It's not like the controller made an official complaint, though office gossip of this nature can be damaging to reputations. Although if he does say some shit to the VP of finance in the future, it's on record that his credibility has been questioned if I do bring it up to the VP.

I'm thinking I won't do anything or say anything for the moment, but I'm pretty pissed off desu. What should I do?

Good luck mate, because he's been there longer than you he can be a lying sack of shit and have it fly. If you bring it up or make it a battle you'll lose, if he wants you to lose, you'll lose. You can't fight this shit without being dirty. Do you really wanna fight dirty with a man with cancer though? Your call.

You better start recording your conversations.

get a breathalizer. also, tell that old fat boomer fuck to retire and stop hording all the wealth. also, tell that old fat fuck that if he didnt work 80 hours a week and actually took care of himself he probably wouldnt have cancer in the first place. also is it even worth it to get the cpa exams finished these days? a few years ago it was a golden ticket in but i hear that isnt the case anymore

Dont draw attention to it. Let it go and move on but be very careful about who you talk to in your office. I would be very wary of your HR. If you need to speak with them about personal stuff, record your conversations and log them.
