I work part time and as part of my role I am the Team Managers right hand person. She called me into a meeting to inform me about goings on in the office on my days off. Basically a team member spoke out of term to our newish Manager and she had to have an official chat about her attitude which has been getting progressively worse since the Manager started in July last year. During this chat she mentioned me and my role, so not to drip feed, the position has only just been made official as in change of contact. When I returned from Mat Leave 2 years ago I spoke to then Manger and the office Manager about my role as they wanted me to take on more responsibility so I asked for a pay rise and a new job title to make it clear to others I was doing slighly more than the standard role. I had actually been doing most of it before Mat leave so took the opportunity to ask for recognision. Anyway my colleague asked how come the role hadn't been advertised, NM didn't know how the role had come about so couldn't answer her but explained I'd had the job for 2 years.
Also in the meeting she told me somebody had reported to HR that I'd put on FB that I'd worked from home when I'd had to stay at home with the kids due to the snow. I am one of the very few people to have a laptop at home after "temporarily" being given one 18 months ago to help work out with a big workload. I now do a few extra hours a month at home. This person was upset that they couldn't do that and had to go into work. If they'd have spoken to me I could have explained I had to stay home with the kids because of the snow and was lucky enough to have something that I could do at home without paperwork which isn't usually the case so I took advantage of it otherwise I wouldn't have got paid for the day.
I feel so fed up. Why can't people just come and ask? Both cases could have been cleared up easily. It's worse than a playground.
