Here's another one for you all. True story: I remember I managed a small retail business (it was hell in case you care and those who I managed were awful) and had to get change from the bank. Supposedly, I got too many $1 bills.
The next day, I arrived at work and found a note for me in our notebook up at the cash wrap counter. My assistant manager wrote me a note in all cap letters and exclaimation points to something like this: DON'T GET SO MANY ONES NEXT TIME. (Of course, there was more to this note, but can't remember all of it. Either way, it was unprofessional.)
She wrote me this long ass note all in caps. I was embarrased. I was the head manager at this business. I felt like this made me look like I was a poor leader for the company. Maybe I wasn't the best manager at the time, but my assistant manager handled this situation poorly.
What should she have done? If she still wanted to write a note, she should have written it not using all caps AND left it on my desk in my office. OR if it were only the two of us in the work area, she could have confronted me about it so other people did not have to see it. What do you think?
