The office 'scolding email' thread

Tomorrow (allegedly) all crockery and cutlery will be gone from the work kitchen. I am planning to bring in random cutlery/utensils (whisk, melon baller, etc) and leave one on the draining board each day or so...
Random utensils is a great idea, the more obscure the better. You could even up it after a while - do you have any hand-tools you don't want/need? Start leaving a small hacksaw or a chisel out to drain.

How are they with fridge nazism? I'm thinking you could photoshop a few labels to stick on produce with use-by dates of 1832.

Not an email but a public facebook update feom a member of front desk staff who is the biggest lier I ever met.

"Working with selfish people makes me very very tired!!! How do u call Fair & Honest? U never know these words!!! You want people to be fair and honest toward you? How could it be? Because all you did, we call SELFISH!!!!
Better accept the truth and not try to accuse that the others are lying or not honest to you. And you will see this world is beautiful to live."

Any advice on a reply or how to smooth things over?
 
i'd say tread carefully, and read your organisation's social media policy (if they have one) before going anywhere near it. if your colleague wants to risk a 'bringing company into disrepute' situation, that's their problem. not sure that getting involved would help...
This. It's just not worth the risk of getting dragged into a potential investigation because an idiot you work with starts slagging off work.

Great opportunity for future scolding notes there: "Can whoever took the melon baller and nutmeg grater left here on Tuesday last week please return them immediately. Regards."

Don't reply, and find some other entrance/exit to use for when this weirdo goes postal.

It's scarcely possible to reply anyway, as it's mostly gibberish.

The person is Thai so English is a second language. It is so strange as the person has form for lying and being an insufferable pain in the neck.

Ignore the advice so far. Post a picture of your genitalia with your company logo drawn in with body paint. The directors will love your no nonsense approach and promote you immediately.

What makes you think they are talking about you or that you need to respond?

Also if this colleague is a nightmare why not delete them or put them on a limited profile at the very least?

I work in a small private language school, 1 branch manager, 4 front desk staff, 20 teachers and I the headteacher.

This message is from one of the the front desk staff, who I and everyone else has to interact with everyday.
The message is refering to one teacher, who has worked in our school for about 7 years, all because he questioned why a student was moved off his schdule and given to one of the new teachers.

I go back to work on wednesday so I will see how things are going. I will block the employee on facebook in a few weeks, I will have to wait a little while till this is resolved.
