While I agree the whole incident is not a major one, I would have to question the ablities of a manager who would infer that having a chat at the photocopier/coffee station/desk would need to be in ones contract to be acceptable. Who do you have working for you?is chatting at the photocopier part of your job description?
Only one person can use a photocopier at a time!
there were two photocopiers perhaps?
Who are you referring to and why would they do that? It's a discussion forum and the original poster asked for opinions which they are receiving. If you have a problem with specific posts and think that they are in breach of the posting guidelines then use the Report Post facility. Otherwise if you don't like what you see then avert your eyes perhaps?Without meaning to cause offense to anyone, I have to say I find some peoples attitudes on here incredible and sometimes I wouldn't be surprised if people decide to never post again.
Also I think it's admirable that you were friendly towards the new employee in turn making her feel welcome.I think your manager should apologise. I remember a good few years back I worked in a grocery shop part-time. I was training in a new employee therefore we had to talk i.e. communicate. The boss came up to me and said stop chatting in front of customers please.
Have to agree 100%.It's a bad idea to criticize in public but it's no big deal. Move on, it's a non issue.
The idea that this required a mediation meeting is incredible.
