If someone you worked with offended you would you run and tell your boss?

We have this new upper level manager and I swear to god she has been targeting me all day long. I didn't even do anything to her. She is only a single level higher than me and I know more than she does. Anyway she was drilling me and the other lower level managers about our biggest challenges on the job and we were all talking afterwards and it made us feel inadequate and like we didn't know how to do our jobs when we do.

She wouldn't let the morning manager do his job. I was the mid shift manager and she wouldn't let me do my job and she wouldn't let the night one do her job either. She would micromanage us to death and feed people wrong information. I had to go behind her a few times and let my coworkers know the right information.

The thing that made me the angriest is when I joked about being messy over in my area. I am disorganized but it works for me. She then made a comment about if I was a super hero would my name be "messy" or "lazy lump". This made me angry because I work hard and I'm far from lazy at work. I coldly replied oh I'm far from lazy thank you very much and went back to doing my job. A few coworkers nex to me looked shocked and asked me what that was about. I honestly had no idea. It's like lady you just met me a few days ago and you do not know me or any of my coworkers.

She was making snarky comments to everyone all day long and I couldn't stand how she was talking to everyone. I felt like it was my job as a manager to bring it to our bosses attention. He told me he would speak with her because name calling no matter the intent is unacceptable and alarming from someone in management.

I am not a snowflake, but now you opened the door and do not expect any favours from me, or cover your arse because you are a useless bastard / bitch
