I had a meeting with my line manager today about something and she mentioned that when she came out of her meeting this morning I was talking to someone. She has taken some of my duties off me at the moment to help with year end (I work in accounts) as I have lots to do and she said 'I don't mind helping with your work, but not when you are sitting chatting to people'!!!!!
WTF - I have been on annual leave last week looking after the new puppy and was just talking to the woman that sits next to me. It was only a brief conversation, but bl00dy hell, surely to make it a nice place to work we can chat!!!!! She did say that she is stressed and is very busy (she is charge of year end this year!!) and ignore her, but why say something if she wanted me to ignore it!?!
She is very young and is very good at her job and got a good promotion last year and became my line manager. She does have issues about people taking when they should be working, but I hardly ever sit and talk to people. I didn't say anything in the meeting, but the more I think about it, the crosser I am getting.
I have my appraisal at the end of the week and I am going to say that I didn't appreciate her saying that and that I hardly ever talk and just because I happened to be chatting when she came out of her meeting, it doesn't mean I have been all morning.
RANT OVER!!!!!
