somehow landed myself in a position at work where everyone is talking about their problems with each other with me but not with each other and just. sure I can mediate but what if we tried to solve this directly, wouldn't that be so much more efficient???
#a coworker of mine is sometimes not very diplomatic in her choice of words#and lately has been suggesting a whole bunch of passive aggressive solutions which. no.#to her credit you can simply and openly tell her off for it and it's okay and she tries at the very least#but last week another coworker made a mistake that led to the undiplomatic coworker catching a lot of heat#from a client#the client was rude and out of line and while she recognised that#she also blamed the forgetful coworker for the entire situation happening in the first place#(the mistake wouldn't have happened if we weren't overworked which is the root cause of all our problems but well.)#so she left a passive-aggressive note#and berated her in front of another client she hadn't even registered#needless to say forgetful coworker didn't take it well (understandably. especially since our boss just laughed about it all)#and well. now everyone involved is discussing it with me#who even thought i was the right person for this#anyway. i hope i can get them to just talk it out because i'm too tired for this shit
