If the HR Director thought you were aggressive..
...why didn't they pick up the phone and say "Oi, you bean counting oik, get off my case or else"
Or words to that effect
Seriously though, what's this telling tales rather than grasping the nettle?
Hahaha love it. ...why didn't they pick up the phone and say "Oi, you bean counting oik, get off my case or else"

I haven't really settled into the company. Just not enjoying the work, working with the CFO or the new VP they hired who just is a yes man to the CFO. Repeats everything the CFO says.
The VP holds a meeting with me to bring this up "aggressive" point. I had given up by then and I just kept quiet. He advised me I shouldn't use the messaging platform, I should be on the phone. He also said I shouldn't email people and gave examples of an email I sent to someone else. He said I should hold meetings... its an international business with folks in different time zones! They need time to read, digest, gather information and send to me. Dont need meetings for please provide documents to back up your client revenue.
I'm a Director, there isn't any clear JD. They have me doing reconciliations. Just frustrating.

It's not aggressive. From a workplace politics perspective sounds like you may be in a difficult situation though - and may want to consider how you highlight and address it, or think about 'where next'I haven't really settled into the company.

Not aggressive at all. The HR Director clearly expects people to immediately drop whatever they're doing when he asks and has had his nose put out of joint by someone being assertive with him.
I'd question the company culture with the VP if that's what they expect

Funny you say that. They called today and said I haven't passed probation. Honestly I was so relieved. I am still with them for another week.Gassing Station | Jobs & Employment Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
