My boss had me and my coworkers in a meeting about someone who wasnt present. The girl who wasn’t present, Abby, has been feeling like she doesn’t belong and that none of her coworkers like her. Shes been going through a lot with her family and been under a loot of stress.
Her and my boss have not been on the best terms lately, same with my coworkers. The other day she walked out because my boss said that she wasn’t pulling her weight with opening the store. Abby replied “if my work isn’t enough for you then maybe i should take it elsewhere” but came back later with coffee to apologize.
During the meeting my boss told us that we should be more friendly towards her because she wants to make sure that she feels welcome amidst whats going on here and at home. It felt inappropriate because none of my coworkers were very recieving of this message(they laughed during it). But also Abby had stepped out for a break at this point and was texting my boss about the work atmosphere.
Abby has been a bully towards me and others but i don’t really understand if it was okay for my boss to pull us aside as a group about this.
