"I was wondering if this was the same person I caught stealing from the company " would be my response. That usually gets the finger pointing the other way very quick.
That would be counterproductive. Telling lies about criminal behavior could get you fired, especially when you know it isn't true because you just made it up. If that person would take it up with HR, Boris is the one whose job is on the line.
Same. I received the "You are Unapproachable" comment at work. Wouldn't tell me who it was or what the circumstances were. Told them I was unsure what could be done since they could not give me something to correct. They did not bring it up again. I don't know what people expect you to do with a generalization.
About 3/4 of the time if they come to you with a generalization, they don't expect you to do anything; either the person speaking to you has a vendetta and/or is trying to get you fired and using any excuse to give you a verbal warning (usually company policy is one verbal warning until it goes on your file); OR more likely, they don't give a crap about the actual situation regarding the other employee/don't believe it happened the way the employee said/think the matter is pretty trivial/petty - but they have to report back to HR or the other employee that they spoke to you to close the incident.
Could be someone had a question and you were almost finished with a task and said one moment....
@@cindylw5 Doubtful. Most of the people I worked with at that time would have just come over and started talking if they had a question. They were pretty inconsiderate.
Why does the manager not understand that they have created a hostile situation by only listening to one side of things and not allowing the other person any room to correct it?
I think my response would be: "What you call 'for the sake of trying to prevent conflict', I call 'abject cowardice'".
I always had a policy as a manager not to bring me complaints that you weren’t willing to stand behind. The only time that was allowed was if I heard the same issue with multiple people or I directly observed the negative interaction. I explained that it isn’t fair to be told to fix something that you don’t know specifically what it is. I likened it to sending out the fire department to drive all around to find a fire or accident.
I had a manager who gave me a bad review because he said I was late every day, which was a lie because I came in according to my schedule. He didn’t realize that I started work at 8 AM and got off at 4 PM. The dummy thought that I worked 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM. If you are a manager, be aware of the employees schedules… That is your job.
I need Veronika in my life.
"How do you know that this person doesn't have a personal vendetta against me?" 💯💯💯. Only those who have had this experience, such as myself, truly understand and appreciate this. Thank you for posting🥰🥰🥰
It's like she's working for my mother. My mother believed anything anyone told her, but she should not reveal the liar.
Someone came to me and told me that you are difficult to work wi "who told you that" continues to interrupt every time other person is trying to speak.....no that's not a difficult person to work with
Who actually makes these Veronica videos so i can support the creator?
@@_ComicMotion_
He was wondering who the original Creator was so he could give him his support.
Was going to comment that this needs to go to HR where they both sit down and discuss the problem, with a mediator. Then she said it at the end.
Also they don't want to tell you who the person is so that you won't retaliate......people act way too stupid these days
Actually got fired from my student job back in high school like this. My boss called me after work and said someone claimed I had been throwing things and refusing to do my job (obviously I did none of that), and I got fired right there on the phone. My boss never told me who was saying that and refused to have a conversation between the 3 of us, because of "confidentiality" 🤡 Hated the job anyway, so I didn't fight it much
To the people on here reading this, know that you don’t have to be treated badly on your job. Be a VERONICA.
YASSS. I am using this
I love this clip for the people who want to protect people trying to start sh*t and come at people with lies but don't want to come forward, but also want to try to protect them and plant evidence and lie to make there case real. If you don't want to come forward with the person telling lies, then step the hell off because we are done here!
It sure would be nice if the people at TH-cam would clue into this clip. Last week I got a notification a comment of mine had been removed due to it being harassment and I have no clue what they're talking about - I went through my recent comments and couldn't think of anything that would constitute harassment. I wrote and asked them what I had said since the notice had threatened to ban me if I did it again. No answer, not even a no. How can I avoid doing it again if I don't have the slightest clue what I did?
Fix the problem.
Who / what is the problem?
Can't tell you just letting you know to fix the problem
"Hey Veronica, do you have a second?"
Been there & done that with Jealous co workers making statements to get you into trouble
Veronica is wrong in this case, she is combative for no reason. She is difficult. Just have the employee write a formal letter and fire Veronica
My boss put an anon box for feedback. As he was away on a 6 week sabbatical I opened the box to find one person posted nasty stuff about me, mostly I thought everything is a joke.
I said nothing, not even I had seen the comment.
I advertised a management position, which required a good technical knowledge of the job, and the same person applied. I did a half day training session on so candidates or those thinking of applying would understand what was required.
This applicant withdrew after the training saying “I had no idea managers had to have such a level of knowledge.”
Her attitude changed and was less gobby after that.
Hostile work environment. For me this would be an RGE (Resume Generating Event).
not knowing the circumstances that led up to this, veronica is a bit rude interpreting, let the other person speak then ask what was the problem? if she wont answer then say I cant fix something I dont know is broken. we all get defensive sometimes for various reasons many times we get tired of being treated as no account, I was raised in a household where I had to defend myself, it did not good just letting the other siblings speak badly of me or causing a unfair situation. it is a bad habit to have to be defensive but as I have aged I get tot he point believe what you want or just ignore or say nothing and let the other person say what theyw ant because I dont care anymore. i have a different guage to go by then someones opinon which may or may not be true.
Oh, geez, and of course, I'm the HRBP who has to listen to this crap. 😂😂
This is honestly the only one where i can see both sides. It's actually completely understandable for there to be an anonymity policy if a person feels bullied or fears retribution. As much as I love the idea of Veronica and her clapback, it is possible for someone of that kind of forthright personality to come off as threatening or even bullying to her co-workers. I think she should have a chance to speak with the complainant, but with both parties agreeing to it and with an unbiased mediator present.
No. Sorry. They need to actually SAY what the issue is otherwise it can't be addressed.
I had this happen to me and I was never told what the issue was, so I did nothing as I had no idea what the issue was. I said to either tell me or tell someone else & since neither happened, I kept on as usual and nothing happened
@@Gancanna But acting argumentative and not receptive, interrupting, getting defensive, blaming the person complaining, those aren't the ways to handle a very polite supervisor trying to address an issue. She's just proving the point that she is rude, difficult, and off-putting, She should've calming just said that it was never her intent to be difficult and she'd like a chance to have mediator session where the person and she could talk through the issue.
@@matthewhines9787 We don't know if this the first time that manager has done this or the tenth which might explain the escalated reaction. Veronika's reaction aside, what I see is a manager that is unwilling to work toward a resolution between her subordinates. That's not being a good leader, that's being a pot stirrer.
Veronica would have known who it was. It was clearly recently; and the person would have been unhappy with her and it would have been indicated by body language and voice. And it's not a court of law, so one does not have the right to be confronted by one's accuser.
The mistake she's making in all of these videos is having a female boss.
the best bosses I've had were female ...... as were the worst bosses I ever had. rarely meh or ok or mediocre. best or worst. its odd.
It was on my annual review that I didn’t get along with the employees. 😳 I always tried to take care of the employees. Now, members (golf club) or board members yeah I was always spoiling their fun by making them follow the club rules and actual laws. I asked about it and was told he had “heard” it. I informed him he couldn’t review me on gossip and made him take it off. (I also oversaw HR)
