Just SME things maybe
My manager has a lot on her plate, but is somehow still pretty damn quick at publicly pointing out our mistakes whenever she spots them, some of which weren’t even mistakes to begin with.
As an example, I sent an email to a client a couple of days ago requesting for a document, and they replied the day after; however our email host automatically sends a reminder email every 48 hours, which the client naturally replied to as well. Manager just asked me in front of the whole office why I sent the email when they had already sent the document, as though I was the one at fault, without even checking the timestamps first.
She also likes to gripe about work stuff to us – Like how X department should be handling Y job scope, why this person didn’t handle this job, etc… But she doesn’t actually DO anything about it in the end! I like my job and all, but ngl this can get pretty tiring at times.
I’d like to hear if anyone else currently working in a SME has any similar experiences, and how would you handle this?
Here are what netizens think:
- SMEs don’t really have compartmentalization of functions due to scale, and is usually chronically short handed, change to a big shop lor.
- U can also reply her to ask the email host why it send out the email again and who made it this way publicity.
- Be good in your job so that you don’t have to work with idiots
