On a meeting today with peers and one other from my team most fairly senior managers not exec though. I asked a colleague to ensure he copied my director into some docs before a regular meeting so my director was briefed when this other person jumps quite strongly and says ' you should focus on getting your own shit together first the amount of time your area supplies documents late we haven't got time for this' it was quite aggressive and took everyone by surprise on the call. She them IM'd me copying one other in apologising for her outburst citing pressure from work. I explained that actually my area was often placed under pressure from seniors or customers to get items on the agenda last minute and it was outwith my control. Thing is the more I think about it the more I think its embarrassing and rude especially in front of my peers. I am angry and quite upset by the whole incident if I'm honest. Shes apologised should I just drop it?

Drop it as opposed to - what?

She apologised straightaway and without prompting or being made to. An awful lot of people are extremely stressed at the moment and having a tough time. She knew she overreacted and acknowledged it straightaway. Not sure what else you’d be looking for?

I guess I was wondering if I follow it up explaining how much it has upset me. I just don't want her thinking its ok for anyone to speak to anyone like that. I suppose you're right though I'm.not really going to gane anything

”I just don't want her thinking its ok for anyone to speak to anyone like that.”

I don’t think she does think that. Accept her apology gracefully and move on. Try not to take it personally.

She has admitted she was wrong and apologised, the right thing to do is accept it and tell her if she feels she had problems in the future to come to you for support, not rub her face in it.

Thank you, you are of course quite correct. Its just knocked me into a negative place
