Title says it. Our company recently went through management changes and now what was once a great work environment has turned into high school drama.
My director sends out messages on Microsoft teams and expects gratitude for each regardless of applicability to individuals. She put out recently that she added a file to a shared document. It doesn’t involve me at that time so I read it and carry on with my day. She adds another document and message and gets the same reaction.
Today my manager helps me with a question and while I’m still on the phone with a client sends a message that I need to like her message. After the call I liked her message like she asks. She then follows up 10 minutes later, aggravated that I didn’t respond in text to a demand to respond with a like button press.
She conferences me after and goes on about how the director posted in our group chat and that I haven’t liked the messages and that this is becoming a serious communication issue with both her and the director.
I like and respond with thanks whenever I need and get assistance but to get angry that I didn’t like your “I hope you’re doing well team” or to something that doesn’t involve me is beyond infuriating.
