I declined saying do you have any other times as this is the one time I said I can't make.That always bloody happens. Shame you'll have to decline.
Absolutely.WWYD in this situation
I have handed my notice in, I have annual leave booked for the whole of next week. I have absolutely nothing to do at work which is my reason for leaving, I mentioned upthread.
My manager is on annual leave this afternoon and tomorrow. I work in an isolated office a 5 min drive from the main office. I am the only person in my office who has to go over to the main office occasionally. There's me, two women who have told me I should do what I am suggesting, and one lad who is a huge grass.
Should I announce to the grass later on that I will be going to the other office tomorrow to tie up any loose ends before I leave and then just have my work laptop on from home so I can iron and pack for holiday?
I worked with a PM who used to make the meeting minutes and actions suit what he wanted afterwards. So we would have the meeting, I’d do the minutes & actions, he would ‘review’ them and change everything to what he actually wanted to have happened. I had to explain to him that minutes are a record of what actually happened as opposed to what you wanted to happen and that he couldn’t just make up actions afterwards. He thought that by distributing the minutes & actions it was grand, and that was how people were supposed to know about these extra actions he would create. He made a fuss to his boss about it as well, and I had to explain to him also and was basically told to leave him to it. So glad I left mid project!Project managers who make up actions that weren’t discussed at the meeting let alone assigned to people…. Seriously it’s not quite cricket from my perspective. Actions are agreed and assigned in the meeting, not just made up by Bob the PM on a whim.
Oh imagine if he was a woman and an assistant rather than a project managerI worked with a PM who used to make the meeting minutes and actions suit what he wanted afterwards.

Totally. It was very obvious his boss didn’t have any time or respect for women and the PM being desperate for his approval mimicked his behaviour a lot. I’m sure you can imagine how pleasant an environment it wasOh imagine if he was a woman and an assistant rather than a project managerguarantee you it would have had a very different outcome.
Need an eye roll reaction!!! People do not spit their double standards!Totally.

I’m sure you can imagine how pleasant an environment it wasI made a small mistake once and heard about it for weeks
The good thing about working from home is no longer being subjected to this!Taking long personal calls while walking up and down the office. I don't want to listen to your conversations with your friends or your arguments with your wife mate, you're distracting and rude and you should get the fuck outside or postpone calls until you leave work ffs.
I have a colleague that chews chewing gum with her mouth open and it makes that sticky chewing noiseThe good thing about working from home is no longer being subjected to this!
I have a colleague with excess saliva, constantly slurping, like Charlotte Greedy (for anyone who follows her, you'll know exactly what I mean) - I've realised today why her speech irritates me so much, the slurping reminds me of said colleague. Ugh!
