I’m talking being on vacation and still responding to emails she was copied on for visibility, adding no real value except to chime in saying,”what’s going on with this?” Asking for suggestions and then shooting every one of them down. Giving conflicting direction. Expecting full in office attendance the day after traveling for 3 days. However she and the more senior team member seem to know when it is acceptable to work from home while the rest of us wonder about it.
I want to just tell her. “Hey, have you read any kind of management book in the last 30 years?” Are you aware the rest of the professional world no longer operates like this?” I feel like I’m a teenager again working at the mall. I’m almost surprised don’t have to ask to use the restroom.
