Well, I have many
, but I'd have to say that definitely coming in at #1 is:
When someone has a problem with you or what you're doing, but instead of coming to YOU to talk about, they do directly to your boss.
So then not only are you caught completely off-guard by this problem when your boss talks to you about it, you now have to deal with your boss being involved with an issue that you could have possibly handled yourself. Nice.
And it especially bothers me when it's another female doing it and double-especially when the boss is a male, because I feel that women still have to be SO careful about how we present ourselves in the workplace. Going to tattle on your coworker to the boss gives the impression that you are two little girls who have to get Daddy to handle things!
What's your #1 pet peeve?
