o keep this extra simple, I am happy for people to share this 100 Certified August Queen Love Me Or Hate Me T Shirt. I did ask people to ask permission before sharing it only so I knew where it was going, but to keep things simple for everyone, I will offer general blanket permission to share this as long as it is not used for nefarious purposes such as inciting or justifying hate crimes, racism, sexism etc. However, if you do share it on your blog, podcast, Youtube channel etc then please feel free to send me the link I’d love to see the finished product.
Last week I shared a story about my awful colleague Mindy. I never expected it to blow up like it did. However, it wasn’t the first time Mindy and our manager were hit with a cold can of malicious compliance. So I thought I’d share the story. I can’t take full credit for it, it was a team effort, as you’ll see.
Upper management decided to trial a new system where colleagues would rate each other. The rules were that all comments had to be constructive. We couldn’t write anything spiteful, untrue, or based on gossip. So you could write stuff like ‘[Colleague] is always supportive and offers help when I need it’ or ‘[Colleague] communicates clearly’ and so on. Basically they wanted us to think about how our colleagues helped us and what they contributed to the team. They hoped it would help gauge how well the team worked together, and encourage them to be positive about each other. These reviews were to be handed to a manager and only the manager was allowed to read them.
