I have just started a new job along with six others. As part and parcel of our training we have been allocated our own training manager who leads learning sessions and workshops to ensure we learn the job. I am the only one who doesn't smoke as I gave up last month, and have found if I chew gum instead it takes the cravings away (nasty habit I know but so much better than smoking - I will work on the gum habit later!!) Anyway, my manager asked last week during a training session why I always have gum on me so I explained why. He has now taken it upon himself to make it his "mission" to get me to start smoking again. He has actually gone as far as to take my gum off me, eat one himself and then offer them around the rest of the team so I have none left. I know its only gum and he really is a lovely guy so isn't being malicious but it really really pisses me off. If I say anything I am gonna look petty - after all it is only bloody gum - but why is he acting like a prize effing idiot fgs??!!
rant over - thats better!!!!
