and how do you go about bringing this up to your boss???? - groiny Apr 8, 09:40 4
- In a flat, monotone, matter-of-fact email. "User X verbally expressed some unknown personal issue with me to coworker Y, and 30 minutes later I - Beryllium Apr 8, 09:45 3
  - I'd reserve this one. Again, fanned gossip stinks. - OAE Apr 8, 09:47 2
    - I agree to a point. Talking directly to the guy is not "fanning gossip". It is shutting it down. -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:49 1
      - No, but sending an e-mail to the boss explaining the situation is fanning stinky gossip. - OAE Apr 8, 09:55
Exactly my thoughts -- nm - MDH Apr 8, 09:38
seriously, who does this kind of shit now-a-days? Even if you're thinking this stuff, you never say it. What a total unprofessional asswipe -- nm - CQ Apr 8, 09:36 15
- worst part is, this was about 30 minutes before he called me for help.... - groiny Apr 8, 09:38 14
  - This givers you a perfect excuse to go visit him again. - OAE Apr 8, 09:43 6
    - That is the handbook recommendation. - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:44 5
      - Absolutely. But our Groiny is a smart cookie and can handle this... - OAE Apr 8, 09:46 4
        
        I'd expect one of my subordinates to point this out to me, it's a reflection on my entire department. -- nm - scorpion Apr 8, 09:53
        
        I can not disagree more. The guy made an error at the expense of groiny. It needs to be pointed out to him so he knows it will not be tolerated. -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:47 2
        
        It's really fucking with a man's family, to spread shit like that where a family breadwinner works with no reason behind it. - TFox Apr 8, 09:49 1
        
        Years ago I have had far worse slander said about my company that was completely untrue. - Kick Ass Apr 8, 10:04
  - Did you do a good job? -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:39 6
    - I believe so. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 8, 09:39 5
      - I would follow up with him and see if he is having any problems and interject something like, "Since I heard you think I am incapable of my job..." or - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:41 4
        
        I disagree. Never fan gossip. It always stinks. -- nm - OAE Apr 8, 09:43 3
        
        No. Unadressed, the stink will linger for months. - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:46 2
        
        Only if Groiny really is a 'poor hire', which he is not and which other people... - OAE Apr 8, 09:51 1
        
        In fornt of witnesses is the exact opposie fo what I am talking about. - Kick Ass Apr 8, 09:59
