Would it bother you if your manager sent a "gentle reminder" email about work needing to be completed that included other staff members on the CC list?
I work hard at my job and always get everything done by deadlines. It would an exceptional reason for me to miss a deadline.
My manager sends out a "gentle reminder" on the day of the deadline but it includes all staff members who have work due to be finished that day and it's CC'd to everyone. Everyone can see who has work to finish.
The ones who suck up to her are never on this list as they work unpaid overtime to get their work done early then faff about on Fridays. It's informally called the "email of shame"!
I've had a bad week this week. I had to leave early on Tuesday as the hospital phoned to say my mother had a fall in a shopping centre and had been sent there by ambulance and she needed picking up. She's fine. Just shaken up rather than injured but the shopping centre rang for the ambulance as a precaution.
To make the time back up, I worked extra hours on Wednesday and Thursday. Came in today and knew I had tasks to finish and I did get everything done before I left for the day.
It's really got to me today that I've done everything I could to catch up, and I did meet the deadline despite what happened on Tuesday, yet I still ended up on the email of shame for everyone to see.
AIBU to be irked by the email of shame, or am I just tired and overreacting?
