It has been a bit of a bleh week for this gal. I was feverish and sick for a few days, off of work for one. I returned to this awful email sent out by someone at the top to all staff. The tone was terribly rude with absolutely no explanation as to why a certain thing was happening. I was not impressed and immediately sent a reply asking for an explanation, I have yet to get a response.


Our whole work environment lately has been toxic, staff morale is at an all time low, certain people aren't talking.......it's ridiculous. I'm a neutral person and get along with most....there's 10 of us how hard can it be? It's kind of sad really, I mean we all love what we do however it's difficult to work under such a heavy cloud. I feel like calling everyone into a room and telling them to lay their shit on the table and move on, get it out and move forward. I suppose that would only solve part of the problem......it's also difficult when you're being micromanaged.....

Sorry for the rant, it's overcast, chilly and this cat is still feeling a bit under the weather and when I've had it....I've had it!!!

Do any of your work environments resemble mine???

Thankfully no. I very much enjoy my time with my co-workers, bizarre as it may be. Is your enviornment just a result of poor leadership?

Buck up. Things'll get better.

That sounds like a poor situation at work, and I think all environments get that way on occasion (especially when upper management issues decrees that sap morale).

And it never helps to deal with that kind of crap when you're sick either. Hope you feel better.

Luckily, I get along with my co-workers. I do throw people under the bus if I don't think they are working hard enough.

I agree with what you say, get it all out on the table. But then again, my husband and I have our own businness and not matter how big our small, something sounds wrong and they are probably just trying to figure out what is going on before they say anything. But, as long as you make yourself irriplaceable, you are not in trouble.

Yeah, words can't describe how much I loathe my current working environment. I avoid everyone as much as possible just because it's so toxic being here and I want to stay away from that as much as possible. No matter what, I plan to leave by next summer. :)

Man, when it rains it pours! I hope you feel better and the atmosphere improves. Have a great weekend :)

Miss Ash said...

Wiwille, I think that is part of it yes!

WIGSF, thanks.

2DP, I actually thought more people on here would say they had experienced such an environment.

BB, I get along with everyone as well....they just don't all get along with each other.

DM, I'm in no trouble at all, I just think that someone needs to do something ASAP cause it's hard to be productive in such an environment.

Pip, well get a move on it!! You have a plan I presume?

Jlee, I do feel better and it's the long weekend so I'm off an extra day woo hoo!!

Dude, I've been there on occasion, and it's sucks. I hope it rights itself - and get better soon, sweetie!

Kneller said...

Of course I have a plan. :)
