DEAR MISS MANNERS: Scheduled time off at my workplace is posted to a calendar that all employees can see. To my understanding, this is so that co-workers can know that you will not be available at those times. However, two people in my office seem to scrutinize that calendar too closely for my comfort.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: Scheduled time off at my workplace is posted to a calendar that all employees can see. To my understanding, this is so that co-workers can know that you will not be available at those times.
I feel my time off is my own personal business. I don’t like my every move stalked and commented on. Am I being too sensitive when I find these comments intrusive? I am not averse to touch and thoroughly enjoy warm hugs, but this physical contact is distracting and bothers me. My friend is a wonderful person, albeit with a bad habit. What to do?
