I lurked a senior colleague's social media and saw them moan about how they worked overtime to complete a deadline when NONE of the rest of their colleagues met it. This colleague pulls people up for 'professionalism' all the time, which is fair, but I hardly think it's professional to paint all of your colleagues as incompetent on a non-anonymous social media account where you actively talk about the fact you work at (The Presitigious Organisation We Work At) and have the workplace name in your bio.
It's also bullshit and overdramatic, because I was set no such deadline and I imagine the other people with my role were not either. So she's painting us all as incompetent...even though it seems like only a handful of people were involved in what she's talking about?
I think she's referring to a specific set of colleagues. But she needs to cut them some slack - they have had mental breakdowns within the last year and her workload is much smaller than theirs. One of these colleagues is doing a PhD alongside their full-time job here and the other actively works with the DfE, which school staff will know is a struggle! One of the people she's talking about defended her (not aggressively or meanly) to me, so nice to know she repays this person for their patience by slagging them off on a public social media account.
This colleague went through some personal difficulty and I was really nice to her when she slipped up - but when I made a mistake, she involved my manager lol.
