I work in a REALLY small office, and there are two employees here who are beyond obnoxious - everyone agrees but no one does anything. Any tactful ways to broach the subject with my boss in our (CT)

Grr that’s the worst. One of my old agencies had “respect for the space and other people” in our annual reviews! I think it’s super valid especially for a small office

It’s hard in such a small office, in a context that’s NOT a review, to be like “hey people don’t like you as a person for these reasons”. Small offices are so weird. Gotta love them though.

Annual reviews? Talking basic things like stomping around, redecorating the office, talking super loud on the phone, having ringtones on high volume, setting alarms and walking away...etc

^ that’s a perfect phrase! thanks!!

Welcome!!

Have folks spoken directly to them already? They may be clueless/think folks are on board if no one has complained directly

Never talk trash about others (unless it affects business directly) as it will not make you look good. This is one of those situations where it's better to be smart than right.

@ CL1 no one wants to be the one to “ruffle their feathers” - understandably so if you know these two 😫 which is why no one has

^ yes, exactly! Talking less than 15 people here haha

When I was headhunted for the job, ESG was a relatively new concept and too few companies hire for related positions. I didn't find any salary range from Glassdoor or anywhere so I had no idea. My fault was I did not ask the HR and just gave my asking salary. When I saw a similar post from my company (I was already hired that time), they were already including the pay range and I realized mine was way below. I'm already 2.8 yrs in the role.
