Someone complained about me at work :(

Ok so maybe my hormones are kicking in, but I cried when I read this email at work. Mind you I work in a medical group where I am being seen by an OB, news of my pregnancy and twins spread fast. All were so happy and excited, lots of questions like how are you feeling, what did you family think etc. Well I will admit I have been especially excited to share my good news after 2 yrs of ovulation issues and TTC. Well yesterday evening right before I left work and person in a completely different department sent me an email telling me she thought I was being an unprofessional manager example by talking about my personal life (ie pregnancy) and could I please refrain. This lady herself had been in my office earlier in the day asking me questions, why do you ask if you dont want to hear the answers, she doesnt work under me, she is in her own office across the hall working as a project manager for one of our doctors, nothing to do with me and the company I run. I was so taken back I didnt know how to respond so all I said at first was ok. Then as I sat here and cried I decided I had to right to defend myself against her accusation. Needless to say I have been as quiet as a church mouse today. Am I over reacting? I felt like she took the wind out of my sail yesterday. I cant believe I let myself get to the point of tears either.

    Based on what you have said about the situtaion it souds crazy to me.  Why would someone ask you questions and then tell you to stop talking about it and call you unprofessional!?!  Can we say...WEIRD!  Sounds like maybe she has her own jealousy issues.

    My thoughts exactly.  When this kind of news breaks, there's always a lot of excitement at first.  Unless you spend all day everyday telling people intimate details, I don't get why this lady said that.  Try not to let her get to you.  She's nuts.

    I find it really odd that she asked you questions and then complained about you talking about it.  Um, hello she asked!!  She probably has other issues going on.  I wouldn't take it to heart too much!  But then again its hard to with all the hormones!!
    Love my girls!!

     Yup! Sounds fishy to me. She's jealous and maybe a tad bit passive-aggressive.

    ok i feel so much better. yes i did respond to her email. i basically took the high road and told her i was sorry if i had offended her or made her feel uncomfortable in any way, but that i personally was very hurt by her email. i felt it was a personal attack and that she needs to keep in mind that we all listen to each other talk and share in one anothers life. that the physicians we work for pride our practice on being a family, i also went and spoke to my boss to dr who owns our practice and he assured me that was not coming from him and that this particular person has the tendency to get on her high horse on a power trip and to not take it personal. i thought about it a lot over night and thought this is a women close to 50 that has been very career minded and has no children, perhaps this is something on her heart and my happiness was too hard for her to take. i thought about how sad i was when we were struggling TTC and everyone around me seemed to have no issues, maybe this is how she felt. so either way, i made my apology, resisted the urge to rip her apart and remained quiet all day so to not give her anything to hold against me. maybe she just cannot relate and that is upseting to her. like my husband said, we have way too much happiness going on now in our life to allow someones petty comments to hurt me. he thinks so much more reasonable than i do at the moment haha, i just want to flip :) oh those lovely hormones!
