New - The things that really annoy you

[Lupo]

Took part in a recruitment process back in April and of the 10 people we took on (all very good), 2 young ladies are working with me (alongisde their other work) and providing me with support and doing very well. Lovely girls and very helpful. Their Team Leader (for the other work) who was off all summer with a health issue has recently returned to work and is now trying to butt in to their work with petty micromanaging.

There is a particular task which I have them doing the bulk of the work on a Friday when they have time, the final part of the task is completed on a Monday morning as 5 minute job. This TL is now insisting that they do the whole of the task on a Monday morning regardless of the other jobs they have to do on a Monday, predictably they are struggling with it - they sat on the work on Friday and were highly pressured on Monday carrying out the work.

Next Monday said TL says she will sit with them and watch them do the task to see how long it takes as she has never been involved with this work. Plus their tasks all have to be on a rota and coloured in green as they are done otherwise no 'evidence' that they have done the tasks (apart from the fact that the fucking job is done).

Fucking petty pen pushing jobsworths fucking annoy me. No need for it

And the nonsense continues:

Hi all

Settings in Teams is being challenged corporately at present, if you are on a call/meeting (this will show as you being in a call ) if presenting (sharing your screen this will show as presenting with the do not disturb icon) these instances are fine, however you should not be manually changing the settings to busy and do not disturb.

If you feel you need to change to busy or do not disturb can you let me know the reason why and how long it is needed, if we are challenged regarding settings that people have we can respond accordingly.

Kind Regards

"challenged corporately" what a load of shit

What if people want to just get on with their fucking job for an hour without being distracted by calls and instant messages?

Would be getting a royal fuck off from me.

Its like a fucking schoolroom. Our newbies are fast discovering and its affecting morale. Funnily enough everything was going well during the summer whilst this person was off sick all summer.

I have just found out too that one of our new uptake who I have been training up, lovely girl, very intelligent, great work ethic, etc is resigning. Thought it was because of all the schoolroom shit but she is losing her right to work because of the new Government rules saying that foreign nationals must earn £30K and her salary is below this. Fucking madness!

Just create a meeting and only invite yourself.

Just create a meeting and only invite yourself.

Its an idea. If they want to be so stupid...

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Its an idea. If they want to be so stupid...

Or get a co-conspirator to call you.

Plenty of ways to game the Teams/Outlook status.

These people seem too stupid to realise that their method of 'leadership' just serves to piss people off and damage morale. I sat in a meeting the other day seeing how they have backlogs on so many things and systems in a mess despite all their rotas and process notes and made me smile wryly

If you need a 8 hour long teams meeting, I can hook you up. (Time difference may be an issue though!)
