I’ve got a manager’s meeting later this morning to address the question “What is the impact of passive-aggressive team members?”

Possible responses:

• “How should I know?”
• “Why am I always the first person called on? This is so unfair.”
• Roll eyes and sigh loudly.
• Show up late for the meeting and avoid eye contact with anyone.

I asked a facilities person about the cleaning crew situation . . . turns out we did recently hire a new outfit.

Her theory on why they keep moving the watebasket: “Maybe they want you to notice that they emptied it.”

It seems we’ve hired on a passive-aggressive cleaning crew at the office . . .

Every morning this week, I’ve come in and my wastebasket is under the desk in front of my chair, instead of under the desk to my right where I always keep it.

I appreciate that they empty it before moving it, but where am I supposed to put my legs if there’s a wastebasket right in front of my chair?
