Weird office irritations

1. I wasn't expecting you to be. I stated this to show that it doesn't matter what size the company is, such activity is frowned upon.

2. Reported for what reason? Pointing out how impolite your earlier reply was?

I have a well meaning colleague that never, never stops talking. She drives me nuts!!! However as she is such a nice person I don't like to say anything and am great at tuning her voice out now. The downside is I often miss things she says that need a reply.

Bet she'd post that she has a colleague that forever seems miles away..,,,


We all have our foibles I guess

A warning would be more than sufficient for a first offence you draconian mutt.

If you read the original complaint, the poster suggested it was something done habitually i.e. it's what that person does if you leave the computer. It's not a first offence.

Disciplinary action is exactly the right response - anybody who sends offensive emails from a colleague's account should be lucky to keep their job. It's not as if it's a grey area where the offender has to be warned that this behaviour is not acceptable - everybody knows this is completely unprofessional and out of order.

I guess this now deleted post was aimed at me. Excellent!
I know that in my company such behaviour would certainly be misconduct and maybe, depending on the nature of the messages and the repeated occurrence, gross misconduct. Either way the company's disciplinary procedure would be an appropriate and justified response. And when I talk about a 'disciplinary' it could of course result in exactly what the poster suggests is appropriate - a warning.

Shame that someone's complaint has led to the poster being banned - I'd be happy to continue the discussion.

And BTW - my team is quite happy working for me unless of course they are too scared to say any different.

I suspect WW has been punted - all her posts deleted and her account PPRd.
