I have become the communicator at work. 3 people are communicating to each other through me. Is this a thing?! I don't care, because I am getting paid for it, but it is always strange to me when they could just be talking to each other.
It was annoying today when someone said, "Get Jo's approval" and so I wrote a message to "Jo" and he says, "Run it by Dan first" And so I said, "I already did and he said to get your approval on the price"
It is really a small annoyance compared to any bigger annoyances, but its all I got!
The other annoying thing is feeling like I have to explain myself more and sometimes I feel like it is because I am a female. I wish I didn't think that.
I sent an email to someone in the company alerting them to an address change for someone that did not receive an important time sensitive document, AND I included the change of address in the email I sent to this person-AND the owner of the company.
She wrote back saying, "Okay, as soon as I have the address I can send that document out"
I felt like saying, "Please scroll down" Instead I just scrolled down myself and copied the address and pasted it and said, "Certainly! Here it is!"
That was not the right answer either.
What is the correct way to respond to this sort of situation?
Of course, the preceding list of actionable advice may be outside your comfort zone. I'm only telling you what has worked for me in the past. More than once. Also, my office-mates don't often pull those kind of shenanigans on me now. Because they know what I'll do about it.
