lolabobsYesterday Colleague A sent a chirpy email round the office, effectively saying "HEY!!!!! EVERYBODY!!!! There are minutes for X meeting on the intranet, do you want me to show you how to read them? I know how to do it it's easy!" (bearing in mind every single one of us uses the computer a minimum of 50% of our time.)
The tone of her email was a bit condescending and unfortunately the minutes she linked to were significantly more so. (All linked with the shutting down of our office.)
Colleague B, at the end of her tether, sent Colleague A an email saying "I get that you have a job to do, but I did find the tone of your last email a bit patronising."
Colleague A's response?
An email sent to everybody in the office saying "I'm sorry if I upset anyone with my last patronising email. Just forget I sent it. I've resigned from the group now."
Then -
Did she go and speak to Colleague B to express her stress? No.
Did she go to the line manager to make her complaint? NO
She went to the ACO - ie bar the Chief the highest rank we have, to complain about Colleague B.
WTF.
Precious much?
