I am resurrecting an old posting rather than starting a new one.
We too had a missing staff member last week or so we thought. We didn't know until Tues that he had not travelled to his meetings for which I booked his flights. He phoned HR on Monday who informed his line manager but the buck stopped there. Had HR phoned or emailed me I would have known instantly and certain individuals would not have been in a panic about getting work out last week.
On a further note, my boss did not show up yesterday. He had a personal appt yesterday morning and when I left on Fri he never mentioned he wouldn't be in.
Now he's just done yesterday what we were telling someone off for last week. Is that rude? I feel it is. As his PA I take offence that he couldn't even phone to tell me he wouldn't be in the rest of the day. I sat like an idiot all day while most of the office were offsite for a managers' seminar.
Any wonder there is no motivation in this place. I am slowly but surely become demotivated on a daily basis. Why is it I am expected to communicate but no one else seems to??
