I just don't understand what goes through their minds when they're sending these emails/text messages!Fuck that!!!
I was recently off sick and kept on getting emails/texts that started with "I know you are off sick, but...." FECK. OFF.
i think we’re on the same team! How frustrating is it! My team is very small so it’s even worseWe had someone like that too. Especially odd when she was the only one oversharing and constantly talking about her personal business in the office and team group chat.
We'd tolerate it as her team and thought we had a break with WFH but she then started doing it with clients and other departments
They'd email with an innocent "I hope you're well" at the beginning and she'd take it as cue to email back responding to the query but also with a "I'm well thanks for asking although my son's been ill for 2 weeks and the house renovations are a nightmare and my husband this and schools that, etc etc etc". Felt so unprofessional and I'm glad her contract wasn't renewed when the time came!
i HATE these I’m not off often but last year I just couldn’t cope anymore and went off with stress part home life part work related my manager knows how bad my anxiety gets with sickness checkins every single week it’s DRAINING! I explained all my work related issues to Occy heath who contacted my manager with steps she needed to take….. she wrote a report that very bluntly stated ‘miss’ doesn’t interact with anyone on the team, she states she wants to leave I think her issues come down to …. Wait for it ….. NOT being in work. At this point I figured out I was fighting a loosing battle xI just don't understand what goes through their minds when they're sending these emails/text messages!
I'm even getting fed up of the weekly welfare calls with my manager at this point. She's a kind person but I just don't want to talk about how I feel for 45 mins.
Oooooo that is weird. I’d keep viewing theirs so they get the same amount of notifications and freaks them out equallyI have this direct co-worker in my LinkedIn contacts who keeps viewing my LinkedIn profile literally every couple of days. Super weird.
If it's someone I directly work with, I check them out once when I sent them a connection request and that's it.
We work together - you already know all there is to know buddy.
I've often heard "... candidate who we feel would be a better fit" ... it could apply to a heap of things, but I suspect it's mostly due to age in my case.I've noticed a lot of companies turn down applicants at interview because they don't seem a good "cultural fit" or words to that effect. Isn't that just a way of rejecting a candidate based on their age/race/sex without having to explicitly say so and being open to a lawsuit?
Why is it that when we are off work, people act like we weren’t off when we come back, as if we don’t have lots to catch up onSomeone today sent me an email today at 12pm. The question required some research, but I was busy with something urgent as I was off for the past three weeks.

We use cultural fit as code for when someone seems a bit high maintenance or a wankerI've noticed a lot of companies turn down applicants at interview because they don't seem a good "cultural fit" or words to that effect.

100% this. Definitely isn't a discrimination thing. More the person seems arrogant or a general knob headWe use cultural fit as code for when someone seems a bit high maintenance or a wanker
Just because you response with "This" and that it's not an issue in your company doesn't mean what I said is false100% this. Definitely isn't a discrimination thing. More the person seems arrogant or a general knob head
In my previous job when I did interviewing and hiring, that wasn't the case anyway - it was just a nice way of saying that I didn't think they'd get on with the team or me on a personal level. Personality clash can be a massive issue even though I think people would prefer to imagine that "it's all about the work" and it shouldn't matter, but it absolutely matters if the managers have to spend every day sorting out everyone arguing all the time or snarking about each other. Honestly more places should use it to turn down candidates because it'd make everyone else's work life a lot better.I've noticed a lot of companies turn down applicants at interview because they don't seem a good "cultural fit" or words to that effect.
