My wife works in admin at a nursing care facility (over 90 percent women) where just about every incident is blown way outta proportion.
For example, one nursing section held an innocuous birthday party in the lunchroom one day. Complaints rolled in about not reserving the room, why some weren't invited, etc.
Emails were sent, memos written, meetings were held and work for the rest of the day pretty much stopped.
I mean, what's the big frickin deal? If I walked in and saw that the lunchroom was being used, I'd turn right around and eat lunch at my desk. Simple as that. Why make it worse than what it is?
And believe me that's just one of numerous incidents lol
