Office Drama

Ok, so two days ago my supervisor was in my office when I got in, now yeah it was 9:45a.m. However, I was at the Corporate Office picking up some documents so I wasn't worried about my apparent "lateness".. What did worry me was the fact that shortly after she left, I received an e-mail that stated she wanted to have a meeting with me and my assistant and another co-worker.. that meeting was scheduled for today... To say the least for most of the weekend I was nervous and dreading this required staff meeting, not to add this was the first one of this sort in the year that I've worked for this compant... So, at any rate, after receiving notification I composed a memo informing the required parties to take their lunch prior to the meeting and the to meet at the corporate office for a meeting with my supervisor.. so why in the hell did my assistant ask me today if she had to skip her lunch to attend the meeting?? Ok, now this is my 3rd assistant but damn can this one also NOT READ??? So, I'm like please refer to the memo that was distrubuted last week as I continued to finish my Management reports and finalized contacting vendors who hadn't turned their shyt in.... So, the moment I had dreaded was here.. it was 1:00p.m. and here I was sitting in the Conference Room being repremanded because someone reported to my supervisor over the past 4 MONTHS.. BULLSHYT... that the behavior in the Management Office has been inapproriate..supposedly someone reported that I drink cocktails on business time and that my behavior towards my employees is unprofessional... not someone might have heard me repremanding one of my employess and at times I can be too harsh... however, if I drink at work it's after 5 o'clock and not on company time. In fact, it's normally within someone's unit. But, at any rate.. something smells like shyt to me...

So at any rate, I was given a formal warning that the bahavior must cease at once and cold professional should be maintained if "we don't know how to behave on a personal level".. So, as soon as I got back to the office I went straight into cold professionalism I created procedures for everything that I've been complaining about my assistant not doing correctly... and by the end of the week all the employees will have standard procedures and manuals and time guidelines....

But, low and behold, no body called.. my assistant was running her mouth the day I was late (at the corporate office) and she informed my supervisor that I called her a bitch a few weeks prior... which I immediately apologized for because it was unprofessional and out of hand....but I did receive a report from a resident that my assistant was in the hallway talking with a co-worker about the manner in which I repremanded her and how she doesn't understand why I'm making a big deal abouut her not doing her job correctly... now aint that a bitch... #1 your not supposed to discuss business information with co-workers.. and #2 why the fuck would u do it in the middle of the hallway and with loud ass tones......i got one thing to say keep ur volume to a minimial and watch who's listening because of course someone going to come back and tell me what happened.... and tell what u wanna tell but u wanna know what ur still on probation and I'm keeping notes on ya.... so go, run AND Tell that....
