If they attempt to consume the entire table with their stuff then yes... otherwise, don’t be an ass

This is normal. Could have been a little bit more polite if they had asked if the seats were taken 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Yeah just be nice and let them sit. It’s rude to not let other people take the seats (especially when lounge is getting full)

... just straight up took the two open seats at my table. Is this normal? Am I justified in saying “this is my table please find another place to sit”? Not trying to be a jerk but genuinely curious if this is normal behavior.

It’s my second week at this job, was given an assignment to submit jobs into the MLR review system. I did not get the MLR training yet but worked with the existing submissions team and got boss’s approval at the agency to make it happen. Now MLR team asked us to follow the guidelines, and my boss is throwing me under the bus for not “opening” the jobs correctly. I am already breaking down and think I’m a failure, but some people think I’m not being set up for success. Should I move jobs?
