Anyone else have managers that do this? Damn, this is a shitty thing. My desk faces a corner and and it’s impossible to tell when people walk up behind you do to office layout.

Sometimes I’ll just turn around and they’ve been standing behind me for like 1-2 minutes , just watching me.

My section manager came up today while I was writing a confidential email to a coworker that I was coaching them through a work issueissue. Pretty sure the manager saw some of it. Then as soon as i noticed him, I closed it and he said “you don’t need to stop what you’re doing when I come by.”

Like just fricking announce yourselves. That’s common courtesy.

At least you weren't watching porn at that moment.

Put a mirror up to see behind you. Works great.

Oh, it’s in a corner. I’m facing a corner. And half the office is behind me and all their desks face mine. So already they can see everything I do. But like they don’t give a shite. It’s when my reviewers come up and are just standing there, like 18 inches behind me and they just start talking like we’re in the middle of a conversation. “Oh, you just checked screens a b e. You should have checked screen c first.”

I can & would fire anyone who does something outside the lines so “no” to your question.

My manager came up behind me once and stood there. He didn't say a word, but I could hear him breathing. It was kind of like hearing an obscene phone call.
I refused to turn round to look at him. Just pretended he wasn't there.

A quarter of a cubicle. I have two walls. And the rest of the office opens behind me.

I was cutting my grass this afternoon and some a-hole came jogging/running behind me and right as I turned around he was right in my face, he was on the sidewalk and so was I, I pushed him into the street and told him that’s a good way to get get your arse beat or if I had a gun you could have gotten shot.

Don’t come running up on someone with their back turned and can’t hear you coming.

fricking idiot
