The office 'scolding email' thread

I used to do research work for my PhD at the desk when I was evening staff many moons ago. I used to serve customers too. I even on occasion gave tutorial support when students were stuck on their homework. I think someone is being a little too exacting with professional standards Pickman's model although I do think they have a tiny point about the live streaming of sporting events
 
They didn't, it went solely to the evening and weekend team. As I have worked the occasional evening and weekend (tho not since May) I'm on the email list
Every library worker knows there's quiet times and busy times in a library. You can't take the book trolley for reshelving all the time. You need something to do at the desk...
 
We all had one of our "BEST" safety bulletin things today

"What needs to be done

BEST Observers Back to Risk,

Lifting and Not Looking at risk behaviours are normally avoidable and should be when possible. BEST Observers need to ensure ......"

Does that make no sense at all, or is it just me missing something?

That make no sense. I think maybe the 'at' should be capitalised which would help, but there's definitely a word missing after 'be'.
 
Not exactly scolding but I want imput on making it sound dynamic or as if were we are going somewhere, other than down the pan.

Thank you ###

I will contact @%# on Monday, Hope all going ok with your self.

We had visit from $$$ this afternoon seemed to understand the teacher issues. As in employing teachers.

Since we reopened the branch has grown 50%.

So far I ve met a core of the new branch teachers, I had some success with getting everyone to dress smartly, only one japanesse male teacher hasn't followed along, I left him alone for the moment.

I said to $$$ something like some teachers had 'gone home' meaning everything from getting work online, quitting to being locked out of the country.

I did not have a free slot in the late afternoon to have a long chat with him, $$$, he did talk to S/J/B.

Given it seems to be about teachers, some more punctuation and better grammar wouldn’t go amiss.
 
I got tomorrow booked off for surgery. My manager asked what it is for and I just brushed it off as nothing major (which is is true) I will be given couple of weeks off, but I dont want the surgeon to state on the sick note what the surgery is for as its non of my employers business. If the surgeon insists on stating it, anyone know if it will be a HR issue if I cover it with a marker pen?

If you ask the surgeon not to state the exact cause I'm sure they will be vague. I wouldn't cover the cause with marker pen in case HR reject it.

Get them to write minor surgery. Your employer should be following the new GDPR regs and treating your information accordingly.

I had to send a sick note in last week because I’ve had surgery and it actually mentioned ‘anal’ something or other. Brilliant. Still, at least my boss won’t ask any questions!! :D
 
donkyboy, hope you are all recovered now?

What piece of office stationary was it they removed from your orifice anyway?

Ha. I was given two weeks off, but still not recovered so called the local GP who authorised an additional 2 weeks without me even needing to go in and be seen. they asked how much longer I needed. Told them another 2 weeks should do it. So don't go back till the 18th Nov. I'm getting better and confident will have fully recovered by that time. :cool: Plus, it gets us closer to Christmas by the time I go back.
