petitepedal ★ Posted February 21, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2015 So...the board president...is not happy with me ...again (hey she has regular mood swings...) Anyway..while trying to get my co-workers to sign a retirement card she nosed in and wanted to sign. And I told her it was a staff thing. OH boy...blow up...but silently...she has given me the cold shoulder now for 2 days...Hey it wasn't my card..the dang job was dumped on me to get it signed at the last minute....I tried to smooth it over with telling her we did the same for the last two people who retired...and it was our thing...separate from the building goodbye"..... But that did nothing.. It wouldn't be so bad..but on Tuesday...they will probably do my annual review and damn it would go better if she wasn't pissed off at me.

Page Turner Posted February 21, 2015 Share #2 Posted February 21, 2015 . ...has the person retired yet ? Is it too late to circulate another card ? What were you thinking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted February 21, 2015 Share #3 Posted February 21, 2015 Why not just let her sign it? Who cares? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petitepedal ★ Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted February 21, 2015 The person who gave me the card to get signed (and who made the card)..hid it from this woman the day before when she was showing it to me...and I actually stopped trying to get people to sign it and told her to ask this other person...because...it wasn't my thing and yeah the president loves to include herself in anything we do...as long as she doesn't have to contribute money.. So...I was hoping this other person would do the ya or nay...cos ...like I said it was her thing......Personally...I am too busy trying to keep up with my job than to worry about cards....

JerrySTL ★ Posted February 21, 2015 Share #9 Posted February 21, 2015 Find another job. She seems like too much drama to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted February 21, 2015 Share #10 Posted February 21, 2015 Why not just let her sign it? Who cares? I'm going to do a Randomguy and say why TF should the board president care? She seems to get butthurt awfully easy. When you're in a work environment, a team is a team. If you're not on that particular team, you butt out unless there's a reason your management is necessary. Otherwise you get known as the person with a nose long enough that you've got to stick it in everyone's business. I've generally found that the people who get offended this easily generally didn't get to be managers by deserving it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destination Posted February 21, 2015 Share #11 Posted February 21, 2015 I've generally found that the people who get offended this easily generally didn't get to be managers by deserving it. While they remain in place, they tend to make things unpleasant for everyone around them. And it can take quite a while before such people are relieved of their positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted February 21, 2015 Share #12 Posted February 21, 2015 While they remain in place, they tend to make things unpleasant for everyone around them. And it can take quite a while before such people are relieved of their positions. Yep. And in most cases, I found walking on eggshells didn't help --they were determined to be butthurt at some point, it was just a matter of when. I didn't go out of my way to offend them, but I made a decision that if I inadvertently did so, well, sorry. It's life. Build a bridge and get over it.

Kirby Posted February 21, 2015 Share #16 Posted February 21, 2015 Would it help if you got another card for "management" and said "after I spoke to you I realized that the card the other person had didn't cover everyone and I thought it would be good to have another one"? Or if she brings it up say "I'm sorry. I was just focused on getting the names that the other person asked me to get and didn't want to make any changes since it wasn't my card, but of coruse they'd have wanted you to sign it." Personally, I'd probably just hope this incident passes without further mention, but in the future, since you know this woman can be sensitive, just try to go along - at least with respect to things that don't negatively impact your residents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan Posted February 21, 2015 Share #17 Posted February 21, 2015 Yes, this incident will pass without further mention. Take it on the chin and be stronger for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted February 21, 2015 Share #18 Posted February 21, 2015 "I am sorry you're such a bitch, here, sign the fucking card." How hard is that to say? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
