Something happened me in work and I would like to share it with you and give me your views.
A new employee and I were talking , general chat while tooing and frowing to the photocopier, between calls etc. Still getting the work done but we were talking.
Manager stops us and says, " are you girls going to be talking all afternoon?"
I answered "no". Manager says "well good because there is plenty of work to be done now get on with it".
Manager walked away. I was fuming. I calmed down after a while and I approached managers office, knocked on the door and asked if I could have a word. Manager says " im too busy, I dont have the time, Ill have to see" I said " well can you talk to me later" Same reply from manager. I said "well will you let me know when you can have a word with me" Same reply from manager. I said "actaully this cant wait, please do not speak to me like im a child in a classroom, especially when we werent the only people talking" Manager then scowled "leave my office now" . I didnt answer and i left her office.
Im in the Civil Service and the office I work in is quite small. There were two other people in the office at the time and they both were on personal calls.
What do you make of this?
