In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane has advice for a reader who found out an employee was sharing personal information at work.
Annie Lane advises a reader to approach HR to complain about an employees behavior in today's column.I have an employee who is constantly overbearing and frequently steps out of line in regards to privacy and personal space. She mistakenly sent me a text where she was revealing to a family member who works at a medical office where I was obtaining medical services, and describing my car and what state my tags were from.
How can I professionally say you’ve gone too far and my medical treatments are off limits for discussion? This should be a given and just plain common sense, but there seem to be no bounds regarding her nosy antics. -- Feeling ViolatedHow violating and bizarre this woman’s behavior is, indeed. Your feelings are totally valid.
If you are comfortable, confront her one-on-one. Let her know, as you have in your letter, that her disclosure of such personal information is both invasive and highly inappropriate. If necessary, look to your company’s HR department for support in this matter. I’m confident they’ll agree this crosses many boundaries and will be happy to help resolve the situation.
