So the cut isn't that bad after all. Didn't need any stitches and it stopped hurting. I hope it heals quickly thought. With the dry air here its always so hard for my cuts to heal quickly. My skin gets dry and peels and ugh.. I end up with scars!
Anyway, that's nothing major.
Today I found out at work that one of the newbies finally went to the manager to complain about a co-worker who was supposed to be a mentor. The mentor I have to admit is really loud and sometimes rude. I've been observing her u know? She comes across as a person who wants attention and wants to feel important. She'll get involved in any little thing that needs to be done and she's very generous with stating her mind. She has these comments.... you know the kind that kinda makes you wonder if she really is joking. It's kind of on the borderline of being rude. I see the other people in the team and some of them say something in return but she will always have the last word. But after 4 of 5 rounds of 'smart' comments you either ignore her or she'll turn to someone else and say that you were butting into her business or she was just being nice by having a conversation. Let's just say she thinks putting you down is humorous.
Anyway, she hasn't been helping the newbie be a better worker and she's had these comments that make you feel like you're being put down. And newbie reported to the manager. I wonder what effect it'll have on the mentor-mentee relationship. Apparently mentor apologized but said that she was just being professional by stating her mind and how the team we work in is the kind that blabbers comments like she does. Ho boy....
It makes me feel lucky to have my mentor who's very encouraging and is willing to share her knowledge with me. She'll tease at times, but it doesn't come across as rude. And she does it moderately too, so I don't care. After all it can't be too serious a working relationship.
I just wonder why the manager never addressed the situation in the team before. The way I see it, he lets all the people under him push him around. Maybe it's a joke but I was surprised as how easy he gave into the teasing that the other team members gave him. In fact, my newbie friend said that the manager had put her with the mentor to work together because he knew newbie could put mentor in her place. Wow... how caring can the manager be to put a new person into the team to put someone else who's been in the team a lot longer in her place? I thought that was the manager's job. What's the point of him knowing the situation if he can't control his own subordinates. It makes me really worried.
I'm just going to continue observing and see what happens.
