A staff member at a community theater experienced backlash after partially completing a crossword puzzle in a shared magazine. A colleague, Vanessa, aggressively expressed her disapproval through a bulletin board message and a staff-wide email, labeling the act as inappropriate. Vanessa’s responses escalated with a public sign, but her claims are not widely supported by other staff members. The individual feels conflicted about whether to apologize to Vanessa due to concerns about her potential instability and lack of HR support in their small organization.
I was stunned by how aggressive it was when someone posted a message that said 'DO NOT WRITE IN THE MAGAZINES' after I partially completed a crossword puzzle.
Vanessa sent out an all staff email expressing how 'appalled' she was about someone working on a crossword in a magazine meant for community sharing.
The next day, she posted a sign in the coat check stating 'DO NOT WRITE IN THE MAGAZINES - THEY ARE FOR EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY.'
Although no one agrees with Vanessa's perspective, no one is addressing her behavior, which I find unhinged and possibly indicative of mental health issues.
