Mad Noter
I got a phone call from a listener who was having a bad day due to a passive aggressive coworker. My conversation with P1 Legal Lady. P1 Legal Lady has a problem with someone who is leaving notes in her office. Every office has a person that will leave the public-bad behavior notes. P1 Legal Lady says her office noter has gone off the deep end. The office has named this person the “mad noter”. Notes are left in the breakroom and bathroom. This person is also never happy if time is left on the microwave after use. This person also does too much cleaning up for other coworkers. The mystery person says he or she is always the one who makes a new pot coffee. The mad noter is also leaving messages in the bathroom. Wet sinks and toilet paper violations have been noted.
Today a note was directed towards P1 Legal Lady about the condition of her desk. Last week, the noter left a nasty messages about certain empoyees who waste company time by smoking or talking.The notes are typed and hard to trace. This person is afraid to reveal their identity. The angry messages show a lot of passive aggressive behavior. I felt bad for this P1. I think in most cases it is better to confront someone about an issue rather than leave a nasty message, email, or note. If you are a passive poster please confront your victim personally. Finally, if you are the person who receives the notes, please clean up your desk your mother doesn’t work here!
Please leave any thoughts or comments.

i am quite suprised that no one in that working invironment has the balls to call a meeting and inform all employees that the mad noter is now terminated., me being the somewhat out spoken person that i am , and the fact that i am the h.n.i.c. where i work , that shit would last about 2 seconds, later, skm.
