Challenging Upwards -

What an interesting weekend I had at work...after reporting in at my scheduled time and schmoozing with a fellow employee I realized there was a mystery afoot! What had set my boss over the deep end? Why would she let out all her frustration towards a group that probably didn't deserve it? Having no one to go to and confide in and being it was my boss' weekend off, I decided to investigate it further myself. After talking to all involved parties and hearing all of their stories (which were all the same) - I decided to let our HR person in on the fun when I got to work first thing Monday. After a nice long chat I feel we came to a good solution - an apology of some kind will go out to the offended and then we are going to hold a dinner/chat time for all the people who regularly work in our areas - to make them feel more appreciated and such...this should keep the grumbling to a minimum (I hope!). I was concerned with going to HR about my boss, because you never know how it will come off to all involved parties, but I feel better now and I know my fellow employees will feel better too in the long run!
