Sigh...having quite a bad day at work today...
Basically I am using a cubicle of a colleague who was on leave
and he came back today so I have been asked to leave the table
because he wanted to use it. So I went to the office to ask if they
have any other empty table for me to sit in and the person in
charge said they would have to move another colleague, B to another
office and I would be able to use her place. They told me to alert
B about this so I did.
Obviously B is not happy about having to move because she has
grown attached to her place (her friends are all around her, etc)
and I think she saw it as my fault that she has to move. After
seeing her unhappiness, I told the office that I will just make do
by sitting near the pantry without a proper table but the staff at
the office would not hear of that. They said it is not because of
me that she has to move, it is because the seat is needed for other
staff as well (I would be moving to a proper table in 2 weeks time,
someone else is leaving for another job) so it is not like I am
going to be using B's table for long term. But I think the damage
is done :(
Now I think there is some bad feeling going on...sometimes
really felt unwelcomed even though I have been here for a few
months...
