A graduate course in passive-agressive
So, 3 weeks ago I thought I had come to some resolution at work so that I would no longer be traveling every week just to sit and do work that I could do remotely. I notified everyone concerned of what was going to happen, the time-line, and my willingness to continue working, albeit remotely, on the project. What do you think happens on the final day?
Yup … you knew it was going to happen … Eeyore is waiting for me, confronts me, tells me that I’m a “quitter” and “risking my job” and regardless of the fact that nothing remaining for me requires my hands-on attention, refuses to acknowledge the situation. He then tells me it’s his sole discretion when I leave the project, not my manager’s and attempts to usurps authority from legal and HR that are not his. He couldn’t be bothered to deal with it until the 11th hour, and even then does so from a position that is indefensible.
The fun continues … I’m on a 2pm flight home.
