A Very, Very Talkative Colleague?

Dierctly and she said:You are there to work notto chat

There is a whole area of people at my mother's work who are just like this. They are very chatty and they don't know when to stop talking, and the bosses and inspectors have got on them for it. People can actually get laid off for talking to much. They give the person a few warning, but after about three or four warnings, they can be fired. It's a problem in the workplace, and some people will say things that they should never say. If I were you, I would tell her to watch it. Tell her that she can talk, but she needs to be quiet for most of the time.

I think you’ve tolerated enough. Most of the times, our upbringing and manners comes in the way of taking harsh but correct decisions…we don’t want to come out looking like an overly vindictive person. But I think we all need to draw the line somewhere otherwise our own dedication and integrity comes into question. She’s your colleague alright, you respect her and wish her well no doubt but if her repeated actions are putting your credentials in danger to the management of the company, then it would really by foolish of you to indirectly support that. Tomorrow you’d be accused of negligence in your duties as her superior…you’d be accused to giving her undue advantage when you knew all along that her continuous absence is causing problem to your work. I think you should discuss this with your superiors immediately. See, worldwide human resource retention is always though of as best…so your entire management should talk to her together and explain to her the consequences of her action and how its affecting the company. Even then if she doesn’t change, then it will have to be a collective decision as to what should be done…your keeping mum will never solve the problem.

That is difficult. Seeing as I myself was off work for 2 years. Most of the time I had been alone at home. Then when I started working again, people found me to be very talkative. hahaha! They noticed I had not been around many people. I was even hearing myself! It was terrible. I had to remind myself to shut up. hahaha! Maybe she has something simulair . Maybe she does not get enough attention at home? But I can imagine her getting on your nerves. If she is not doing her work, then she should get a warning. If she does not listen, then she has to go.

Hi there, I understand your problem. I suggest that you talk to your superior about this. Being an assistant, that person has to render the help required as stated in her job requirements and not to walk around the office like it's her home or what. If your warnings to her are not heeded, then you really have to consider taking this matter to your boss. That kind of behaviour cannot be condoned. It's an office! Not a playground or marketplace!!!

If she likes talking this much give her time to talk.Lets say design a talk break for her, like in every 2 hours = 10 minutes, or maybe an hour during the time period when the work is very less.She will also be satisfied and you will also solve the problem to some extent.
