Good start to the day

[sobrique]

Well, I've just been involved in an email discussion.
I dislike getting nasty emails.
The one centres around something that I volunteered to do last year, but have since decided that I'm no longer prepared to deal with the 'hassle'.

I feel somewhat indignant that I get a somewhat snotty email about how I'm being stubbornly unhelpful.

Now, the way I see it is this: If I volunteer to do something, I will do the best I can to accomplish it.
If I stop doing something (which I volunteered for), I will give sufficient warning that I will, such that those who have come to depend upon it will have time to make other arrangements.

It's somewhat ironic that the primary reason why I stopped then finds the need to flame me over it.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do about a group activity where one member of the group seems to be very successful at antagonising a lot of the others.

Never mind, after a couple of cups of coffee, I will calm down again, and then will get on with the rest of my day.

you could highlight the individual to HR for inappropropriate conduct at work.

Being insulting and unreasonable as well as attempting to bully will show up quite nicely for these sort of things :)

That would be the case if it were someone under the same employer :)
