Today, my boss used our communal notebook to bitch out our entire department for not leaving a note notifying her that one of the machines was down. She wrote it on the same page as the note I left saying that one of the machines was down. FML

Next time, leave post-its everywhere. On her chair, her desk, the office door, the mail box, everywhere. Make them neon coloured for bonus points.

Well, maybe she meant on the machine itself? Either way, she should have checked before blindly accusing you all.

I hate bosses like that. mine bitched me out saying he didn't have time to repair a recording machine that I had already logged as repaired. lol

And why would you not point out that fact that it has been properly documented above on the page? If you did your job well and proper you shouldn't let people treat you as if you didn't. No need to be smug or dramatic about it. I would think a big red arrow from her rant to your log should cover it. Then consider the problem corrected..

How do you dare to be rational and use some logic?

I like to think of it as supervisor reeducation. Most my supervisors don't come trained to my liking, a little tweaking here and there and they're much more tolerable.

Your boss needs to go to kindergarten to learn how to read.

Communal notebook?? Can you not just send out a department-wide email or email IT? What kind of place are you working at?

Probably a machine shop or a factory setting where employees dont have a computer with email on it.

We have communal notebooks/whiteboards at both my jobs. I work in service so we don't all have our own computer or email to access daily.

#21 Indeed it could be her boss just want such notifications not in the communal notebook and that's why the note.
