[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is people probably don't know that you are going to the bathroom - from their POV it just looks like you leave meetings. Look the solution is simple, stop leaving meetings in the middle.

The microwave feedback is so stupid I want to punch your boss in the face. [/quote]

I'm human. Sometimes I will just have to go to the bathroom. On the water, I can stop drinking water at meetings, but that seems like a pretty petty complaint. [/quote]

While I agree that the two points are weird, I"m not sure if the getting up and leaving is a petty complaint.  Does anyone else leave during the meeting?  How often do you leave?  I can see how if you are he only one leaving, and you leave more than once, people may find it disrupting, especially if they have to wait for you to come back to continue or catch you up.   I don't know.  Just trying to see it from their side I suppose.  And maybe the microwave thing was a heads up that people are talking about you behind your back?   That's the only way I can figure why he'd mention it.

Did you get a written review as well without these points listed?  Maybe your boss was just trying to give you a heads up?  While your performance may be great, if people are going around the office saying bad things about you, it can eventually harm your reputation.   Just playing devil's advocate.  I can't imagine bringing this up in a review. [/quote]

I am pretty junior so I rarely participate or need to be briefed on what is going on in the meeting. I can see how one would think it is disruptive if they thought I was just getting water - so I can stop doing that but I will still need to go to the bathroom during most 2, 3, 4 hour meetings.

I think that IS why my manager brought up the microwave thing, but it's still gossip. I can't do much to counter gossip based on a perceived slight. [/quote]
