My phone has been buzzing today from the fallout of a meeting had yesterday.
The meeting was called because the manager is not impressed with our department logging onto teams at 8:35 while working from home when we're supposed to be clocking on at 8:30 (this simply means that we're starting our workday at 8:30 and it takes a few minutes for our computer to load up, the same as in the office).
His response to this “issue” is to call a meeting at the end of the day where he says if the issue isn't fixed we'll have to go back to the office.
This statement was made as the clock hit 5, to which I said “noted and I will observe the new requirements in future, but I need to finish on time today as my CV needs updating. Thanks for your time and goodbye.”
Now I'm getting messages from a colleague saying the manager is seething that I “threatened” him (said colleague finds it hilarious).
Whatever happened to “tit for tat?”
