Irritating colleague

[Tootaloo]

I'll keep this short. A colleague and I both got promoted to a new team at the same time.

We're new, so mistakes are going to happen more often than if we were experienced. However, when said mistakes happen on my part, this same colleague has a bit of a habit of calling me out in front of the rest of the team. We WFH, and use a messaging system. We have a group chat in the messaging system with the rest of our team. It would be just as simple for her to DM me 🤷‍♀️

I've noticed a few mistakes on her end too, but I don't say anything because it isn't my job to manage her. If she needs me helps, I will happily help her though.

I don't think she doesn't it to make me look bad. I just need to know if I'm being unreasonable in asking her to stop and DM me in the future to notify me of any mistakes?

I would irritate the heck out of me. Id have a word and tell her to reign it in a bit.

Not unreasonable at all. What she's doing is bad form and you definitely need to tell her.

Next time she makes a mistake, send her a private message about it as a 'heads up'. At the end of the message, add:

This is my preferred channel of communicating mistakes and I would ask you for the same respect. Informing the whole team will ultimately undermine you, not me. I hope you take this in the spirit with which it was meant and that we can progress in our new roles with mutual support.
