Ooops...that was speculation by Russ; must remember to read linked article. But then, as it was the Daily Heil, one can make any assumption they wish and IT would still be more accurate than what they would ever write.  |
yes i made that mistake ,it was not the manager that overheard and made the complaint ,the manager was acting on someone else's complaint ...
which does tend to reinforce my argument that the manager in question should most definitely have acted with a bit more common sense.Granted he/she has to act on any complaint no matter how petty they may seem ,they would be failing in their duties if they didn't ,but a quiet word with all three individuals would have cleared it up .
I do agree with flyboy that sometimes what can appear to be innocuous remarks can be symptoms of a bigger problem and must be guarded against ,but a good manager should be able see past innocent jokes and banter and what could be a case of bullying .After all most people have enough problems worrying about paying mortgages council tax ect without having problems at work that should really have been left in the school yard
