I clearly haven't had enough coffee this morning and I'm feeling rather snarky so ladies help me out.
I was out Friday for DH's hand surgery, my back up, changed a report without consulting me. Report goes over to our bureau office. She ccd me on the emails where she requested the change through our IT folks. I just replied back, asking her to consult me before changing reports (ccd our boss b/c he was included in the emails) and now she's making a big stink about it b/c he addressed it w/ her as she was putting her nose where it doesn't belong and trying to take over instead of suggesting the revision to me and letting me take the lead since I'm the POC. Ugh...
Confused yet? LOL
So how do I just tell her its not polite (if that even makes sense) to not consult the POC prior to changing things but in a professional manner?
Re: How do I address this? Work related
Can you tell her that you know more background and details about the report/program, so any changes should go through you so you can vet them to ensure they make sense?
I think the nice thing to do would be to encourage her to come to you with suggestions, but be firm that you have the final say on changes.
