Hi everyone!
It has been a while since I've posted here. I tend to check in on a daily basis but havne't posted until now.
There has been quite a lot of drama at work lately for me so I thought I'd share a bit then ask you to share your stories!
Last week, I told my boss some things that some other people were complaining about related to a big project that he and another co worker are responsible for. My purpose of telling my boss was to see if he can put out the fires before they start since the information being passed around was wrong and could influence the attitudes of others. Well, I've never seen my boss that MAD!
He just LOST it and started chewing me out and swore quite a bit at me. I was shocked at his reaction and tried to clarify some things and make a few suggestions while trying to stay professional but his final response was why should he tell others? It's none of their business, etc. He finally cooled down after a while and apologized for his reaction.
He left and within a minute, another co worker stopped by my cube and asked if I was okay. I was still in shock so I just laughed and asked why. She said that she could hear him yell/whisper from 3 cubes away. At first, I was like how can you say yell/whisper?! That's a contradiction for me (I'm deaf) but after she repeated some of what he said, I knew that she definitely heard him. Later on, 3 other co workers said the same thing- that they all heard him so that was not good for my boss since most of the co workers do not like him and felt bad for me.
Well, today we had a meeting about a big project and my boss "K" was supposed to show but he didn't so we went ahead and discussed things. my boss walked in just as "R" (co worker who was already upset with how "K" has treated me lately) left for another meeting so I ended up having to explain what happened in the meeting to him. He got a bit upset with "R" since he said "Wait- she's dumping a script that's not finalized on us to finalize?! That's her responsibility to have the final document ready with all the correct info before submitting to us to change into a script!" so he told me to set up a follow-up meeting.
Within a minute of me sending her a meeting request, she stormed over to my cube towing HER boss along and told me that there was NO WAY she'd come to this meeting since HE (my boss) didn't show up for HER meeting! She has so many meetings already and doesn't have time for extra meetings.
There was more to it but basically I was put in a very awkward position since I knew "K" and "R" have bad blood between them and I ended up being in the middle of the whole mess. I knew if I told "K" what "R" said, he'd get upset and if I push back at "R", she'd get madder at him.
*sigh* I'd love to hear your dramas so I'll know I'm not the only one with drama going on at work!!!
