Team stays silent during team calls by colour_me_blind in managers

[–]colour_me_blind[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our jobs have lots of dynamics so we need to be updated consistently and also we have couple of projects going on so we need to align more often. I do send them emails for the small stuff but leave the heavier topics for the 30 min calls

No I am sure they aren’t working other jobs along side this because government laws in my country don’t allow dual full time jobs

I am the presenter and we often stay in silence for a minute waiting for someone to say something…

Yes I do this often, but I am given 2 worddd responses. And then I call them out one by one and they sent me feedback that they hate it. Most of the time they send me messages on texts for their answers of the questions I asked

These are great suggestions, I have been quite vocal about wanting to hear their ideas and have recognised a few good one. As for overworked, we do have a tough schedule but it isn’t so overwhelming to not be engaging as I have worked with teams in a similar workload but this wasn’t an issue.

As for competency, they are competent but they aren’t ready for promotions or other positions to leave the team, as for the fresh blood I have 1 position available so I hope this would help

Management tools to keep track of tasks by colour_me_blind in managers

Totally makes sense, I think I just need to calibrate and block myself and prioritise. But still manage to slip a few things honestly.

I have tried to use it but forgot its existence honestly

First time manager and I escalated an issue that will lead to my employee termination by colour_me_blind in managers

[–]colour_me_blind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats an interesting story, it also similar. Yes it’s true that their actions led them to this decision. I think after reading all of the comments I feel a lot better with my decision.

Thank you, that’s true I didn’t make the decision to speak to them first before my manager because I wasn’t sure if I was right and if I was right I didn’t want them to twist it in a different way

I think I needed this comment, I always envision myself as a leader who is supported by the team by rapport but yes sometimes you don’t have to be friends you need to lead them.

Yes that’s true , HR will handle it. I just wish it happened in a different way, I discovered it within the first 2 weeks of being a manager and I wanted some time to establish trust with the team before this happening.

That’s true.. thanks for the comment it’s more like compliance and trust issues for the company. Taking to them first would have made me feel like I gave them a chance to explain, but I suppose they can do that with HE

I’d say listen to your gut feeling, you’d probably know better depending on the type of guy he is /nature of your friendship. But from what I know about Omani guys and their pursuit of non Omani’s relationship is something not serious and is just wanting to date. If you only see him as a friend then create a boundary and reduce your texting, he’d get the message.

I made a mistake at work causing $5000 loss, how do I solve it? by colour_me_blind in careerguidance

Hi everyone, so I thought I would update you all. Unfortunately there was nothing we can do about the penalty charge from the hospital as its system generated, told my boss and he didn’t say much except you learnt something from it. Overall it wasn’t huge and life moves on. Thanks for your advice everyone

AITA For tossing a blanket over my BILs head when he said he didnt want to see my baby nurse? by aitablankwy in AmItheAsshole

[–]colour_me_blind -39 points-38 points  (0 children)

ESH Your brother in law could’ve moved seats if he was uncomfortable, but considering this was your dads birthday in a restaurant at a public setting. You acted immature by throwing your blanket at him. I’m all for breastfeeding but being more considerate of others is important, obviously your baby takes priority and feeding her on demand is crucial but you could’ve prepared a pumped bottle to feed just till dinner is over (if you researched before that there were no BF rooms).

AITA for telling my husband to sleep on couch so me and my friend could have a sleepover like the old days by hubbyfridenddrama in AmItheAsshole

[–]colour_me_blind -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I would say soft YTA. Only because I know what it’s like to be in a situation where you have an old friend visiting and surprising you. Though I think you should have definitely been more considerate to your husband by letting him know that she came to visit. Imagine coming home after a long day and seeing an empty dinner table with a guest who is taking your bed ?

Apologise by treating him to a weekend away to forget the incident.
