I am having to be a bit vague here. Sorry.
A couple of months ago I organised something at work. It was outside of my normal role; there was no expectation on me to do so but I thought it would be a good thing to do. I’ve done it a lot in previous roles and it’s always gone well.
It did not go well 😬 No major disasters or anything but a lot of stress and a lot of obstruction from those above me.
So - OK, we move on, won’t do that again. But my colleagues won’t stop talking about it, rehashing it, talking about what a disaster it was, so stressful and awful.
I thought it would die down after Christmas but it hasn’t.
It’s really spoiled my job. I feel like I’ve gone from someone competent and together to being perceived as someone chaotic and shambolic. And the endless going on about it isn’t helping.
I don’t know if I’m just being ridiculously sensitive or not?
