We're a team ranging in age from around 21-53, in an entry level admin role (which doesn't mean easy!)
We get emails from our team leader about how Senior Civil Servant Mr X is coming in the office so that we need to "behave"!!
A colleague got bollocked for swapping seats with another teammate even though they both agreed to it?
Constant floorwalks checking we aren't looking at our phones, obviously it's normal to not be on it whilst you're speaking with a customer but sometimes we can go 30 minutes without a phone call, there's only so much email and intranet you can read.
Being told that 'Senior management are watching you to check you're on best behaviour and acting professionally at all times"
There's an unconscious bias about us Admin Officers that because we're on a low wage we must be thick and irresponsible, and don't know how to act at work?
Of course there is the occasional colleague who messes about but 95% of us are professional.
Senior leaders would not be getting such emails from their management.
I am looking for another job anyway but I just find this quite irritating and patronising.
