'The Girl in Question'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
have any of you heard of a 2:1 meeting referring to a second 1:1 for an employee? or a 1:1 with an employee's boss's boss?
No, we just call them a 1:1 with whoever. 2:1 sounds like you are meeting with them both at once which I guess could happen, IDK
Hope it's a good visit, Hec
Hivemind - have any of you heard of a 2:1 meeting referring to a second 1:1 for an employee? or a 1:1 with an employee's boss's boss?
No. That is like they are applying second cousin once removed logic. And I work in academia and we be crazy. I have heard of skip level. I would think a 2:1 is two bosses one report, which is my situation but to much a reminder of two girls one cup, and what is the internet.
I hope you visit with your sister goes Ok, Hec I won’t say well.
Urk. 4 hour flight and there’s a massive line for my rental car. And all the other places have no lines at all.
This is going to take an hour.
Fucking hell.
Sorry, Hec. That is totally unnecessary additional stress
I came in early so I could do a little non-meeting stuff first thing and now I'm leaving from catching up on the urgent things that came up while I was in meetings and while I am pleased that my job is more interesting these days (in the sense that I am interested in what I do, not that it's wildly unpredictable but I'm trying to be polite about it) I do not love that it is actually more work than it was when I was more bored. I assume i will get used to it eventually but right now I am pretty drained all the time.

That’s a skip level.
Hope the wait isn’t as long as it looks like it will be, David
Good luck, Hec.
I’m almost up to the second row! Very exciting development.
LOL I have never heard of a skip level, but then I left that world over a decade ago.
Rooting for you to get through, David. Travel sucks sometimes and it’s not fair that it is sucking on top of the super sucky reason.
And honestly, can go right to bed in it as well!
I don’t like how nightgowns tend to ruck up around my rib cage. Plus I tend to sleep au naturel these days.
Knit boxers rule. They make them for women now, I get lots of ads on fb. Woxer, TomboyX, etc.
Edit to change tuck back to ruck. Autocorrect definitely has not read enough fanfic.
2:1 meeting thing
Yeah, my boss just has her jargon wrong. she asked me to set up 2:1 with her and the two new chief hires, so I set up a meeting with both of them and her and she called me and said "no, not both of them a 2:1 is when it is their 2nd 1:1 since they already have one with their Deputy Director." No, no nonono crazypants wrongheaded lady.
Same boss has halted progress on my application for another job in the Department for stupid and petty sounding reasons, but unofficially and I only know from off-the-record back-channelling. Now I am applying for positions outside of our Department.
remember when traveling was exciting? Those were good times for traveling.
