I really don't think there's anything I can do about this but it bothers me.
There's a relatively new admin (4-5ish months) that works for a new Director (8 months or more).
When I first met Director she said "Oh, I've heard about you. You are legend." Which I thought was a rather nice compliment.
Trust me, it's not because of the compliment, but because she's a Director (big-wig) and Director's projects usually get bumped up on my schedule.
A couple of weeks ago Admin asked me for a quick turn on a project and I told her that deadline was pretty tight and asked if there was some wiggle room. She said "Absolutely!" and gave me an extra week to complete the project . . . red flag. Okay, her quick turn deadlines aren't necessarily rush jobs. Got it.
I was out of office yesterday. I did not have an OOO message on my voice mail, but I did on my email (my usual form of communication).
Today, when I went in, there was a "Missed Call" on my email, but no message. Immediately after that there was an email from the same person (SP) who works with Admin asking me a question that I did not know the answer to. So I asked my "Little Miss Know-it-All" (LOVE this woman!) if she knew who the question should be directed to. And, as usual
, it should have been directed to her, not me. So I forwarded the message to LMKIA.
LMKIA said "Ugh! I know . . . blah, blah, blah, I received an email from Admin concerning the question. I haven't responded yet, but I will."
Less than two hours later LMKIA responded and copied me on her email chain. Apparently SP got Admin involved, and this was
not something that needed an immediate reply.
I read through the email chain and . . . this is what I'm miffed about . . . Admin's opening email to LMKIA started with "
After getting the run-around from jpcher and (other person) I thought maybe you might know the answer . . ."
After getting the run-around?! What run-around? I was OOO for one day!
Admin copied Director.
Sigh.
Any thoughts?
