Manager won’t change my in office days? WWYD

[Subwaysalad1]

There’s no reason for us to go in the office at all. We don’t have a office we only hot desk.

The lady that I usually work with causes a lot of drama and I am constantly being dragged into things. Always gossiping and slagging people off and I don’t want to be a part of it anymore.

I’ve asked to change my days as I’d rather see people I actually enjoy seeing and this has been refused.

manager is friends with gossiping colleague.

WWYD?

Can you go above your manager?

Can you find someone who would be a suitable swap

What reason has been given for the refusal?

Have you actually discussed the reason why?

She knows why I have made numerous of reports to her.

Reason was because she can’t keep changing the Rotas all the time for everyone to be with their friends. I’ve never changed mine once

She’s right. It would be ridiculous to change rotas just so people can be with their friends.

If she won’t swap then you either go in and just say to the other worker sorry Betsy I have lots of work today and can’t chat and crack on

or find another job

Sounds like everyone else has already swapped away from working with the colleague and you’re the last man standing, so to speak
