napoleandynamite Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Do any of you ever experience on occassion, back and forth emails on just bullsh*t? The type of bs that put's the blame on who did what the wrong way and stuff? Recently, our Receptionist made an innocent mistake just the one time, but it threw off administrative records and this lead to days of researching. Of course, the blame was put on me in the email, stating that I wasn't maintaining accurate records. So of course I had to stick up for myself since all admins in our dept are dependant on the Receptionst to give us the slips to confirm payments to open invoices, and the reason I didn't have accurate updated records were because she forgot to give me the slip. She admitted it. But I had to state the reason for the confusion in my email. When she saw the email, she was upset. She was angry at me and told me how embarrassed she was. I felt bad because she looked like she was in tears almost, but I didn't want to take blame for someone's mistake. I wasn't nasty about it. And hey, in the past, people would always do that to me whenever I made a mistake, even if it was a typo error, a co-worker would send out an email to the entire office (inlcuding my bosses) and say nasty things such as "once again, you made another error". Should I feel bad about what I did? Did I do the right thing. Link to post Share on other sites

SmoochieFace Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 everyone deals with this in an office setting Oh bull. I 'don't deal with it' because I choose to not deal with it. One thing I strictly adhere to while in an office setting is to never get personal with anyone. No 'back door commenting'. Keep it professional at all times. I don't play those dumb office politics games... boring! Link to post Share on other sites

You are acutally very right, if you stay away from everything, ppl won't get you involved, its if you get involved in the gossip and yadda yadda that will get you screwed..
