Alright, so, long time lurker, first time poster. I want your guy's opinion if this guy is based, or overreacting.
I have this co-worker, he constantly comes in hours late, and I almost never call him. When I do call him it's to see if he knows the location of something in the shop.
So a tool I use is missing, the last guy to use it swears he left it in the spot its stored in. It's like 10am at this point most of us start at 6-7am. Shop guy's usually started at 8am (since the main shop guy retired its been open season on start times apparently, but not my monkeys not my circus).
So I'm like, well I'll just give him a quick call. Goes a bit like this:
“Hey coworker have you seen this tool? I usually keep it in this spot”
“No I didn't even know that tool existed”
“OK thanks, no worries”
“Also, if I'm not at work don't call me”
Like, I get the sentiment, but like, shouldn't that be reserved for people who are constantly barraged by their bosses, not a coworker asking a quick question?
Let me be clear, I almost never call this guy, and I'm pretty sure my bosses never even call this guy. Kinda just seems like he's being rude.
What do you guys think, am I overreaching?
