Our boss don't want to see mugs in the pantry...

Sometimes these small things are important. I know it's silly, but do as your boss wants and don't complain. Sometime later, maybe tomorrow or maybe next year she will be in a position to promote or fire someone. Se will remember who gave her a hard time or who annoyed her. Always make your boss happy if you value your job.

Well in our office we don't usually put our mugs in the pantry ,the mugs are usually with us coz everyone of us has our own drawer to put some personal things there.. ahaha well i guess your boss is not on the right mood that day, but then yes you cannot do something with it coz she is your boss and you must follow her instructions.

One of my ex-boss don't allowed us to keep our mugs in the pantry, too. She said her pantry looks too messy with all the mugs from every staffs. Because my ex-company had around 30 over staffs. So imagine, if every staffs put their mugs on the pantry, it would be a big problem to those who want to use the pantry. Most of the time, i prefer to keep my mug on my table, which is the best option. Is your company having lots of staffs as well?

I really don't know what is up with your boss, but I have to say that if I was the boss, I would have to say that I would rather my employees keep their mugs in the pantry or somewhere that is not on their desk as opposed to keeping them on their desks when they are not using them because it looks dirty, in my opinion, to have mugs on the desks at all times. However, it could be that there has been some kind of a complaint that has been made about your keeping things in the pantry.

ardoy0731 Often when a boss gets picky it can be a temporary dissatisfaction with something else. However, it could be she tried to get used to it but she is a neat freak and wanted things differnt. Either way, it's a small thing so I would go along and not let the boss think you are unhappy with it. Best to pick your battles with the boss and keep them to a minimum...

I worked at a daycare where the daycare director would find something I did wrong and point it out to me. One morning, I asked her if I did anything right. She said, yes, I do some things right. But never told me what they were. With being constantly reminded of any small thing that she didn't think I did right, I felt that had a bad effect on the babies I was looking after. It caused negative vibes in the room where I was looking after the babies. I did my best to look after those babies and was always doing something to improve the room or something for the parents. The daycare director was never satisfied. I think she was tired and therefore, lazy and didn't want anyone to outshine her. After a few months, I quit. I loved those babies but could not continue to work there. I hope this director found someone who won't outshine and she could be satisfied with. That is a sad way to run a daycare.

No must be your boss got sabotaged by his/her mug or else i don't see any reason why would he/she would want it that way.

Ahaha...what an attitude! What kind of a person she is? Mug?

May be today she wake up on the wrong side of the bed. A bit moody and pick up on small little things to let go her tension or stress. It is good you keep your own mug, after all it has sentimental value to you, a gift from a friend. I keep my own mug on my working table.

Perhaps your boss is wanting a cleaner and more enjoyable work space where everyone puts their stuff in their own area and the kitchen is always clean. Our work kitchen is often left a mess as people bring food and then forget it there for weeks.
