Mine is having long meetings! I feel like I lose productivity sometimes due to how long meetings can go.

Constant interruptions! Some definitely are urgent and need attention ASAP, but the one's they don't drive me crazy. Sometimes I get so off track it makes for a difficult day.

My pet peeve is having to ask people to do their job. Everything would move much more smoothly if everyone just did what they had to do within a timely manner!

I hate having to be regimented in our schedule. I really thing flex time would be so much better for staff. We know our schedules and we should be able to flex it here and there.

I hate having meetings just for the sake of having meetings like if we have a weekly meeting in place but no one has any updates but we still have the meeting because it's on the schedule.

I think my pet peeve is when employees on the other end don't pick up the phone or communicate.

Got braids. You'd think I literally got a face transplant from how shook my coworkers are. I would say over 10 people have stopped me to ask about them or comment on them and I've been at work for maybe 2 1/2 hours. It's all been positive, but am I wrong for still finding it annoying? They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
