Should I say anything? (and if so, what?)

<< < (2/2)

BurninDinner:
I disagree.  I think I would mention it in an off-hand way.  "Oh geez, did you hear them at the safety meeting?  I can't believe they're making the meetings part of our performance review.  Ew, this coffee is cold, I'm going to go reheat it." 

Therefore, no discussion but you made the statement, just in case she missed it by not paying attention. What can I say, I'm avoidant.

Part of being a mature adult in a working environment is paying attention to the things that matter.  Everyone else was able to pay attention enough to understand that these meetings were mandatory.  If she's not such, it begs the question of how attentive she is to other parts of her job.

It's not the OP's job to babysit a coworker who either can't pay attention to important details or can't be bothered to follow them.  To do so is sticking her nose into someone else's business and being, as another poster said, a busybody.  The OP needs to attend to her own affairs and not concern herself with things that are not her concern.

As I said earlier, this is between the coworker and that coworker's boss.

JeanFromBNA:
If she asked about the meeting, I'd bring it up once, and then drop it. Otherwise, just let her find out for herself.

purplebunny:
Thanks everyone for your responses... I was definitely leaning towards minding my own business, for sure!

Hopefully when we get our performance reviews I won't have to bear the brunt of Sally whining about how things have changed and how it's not the 'good old days' anymore (Sally and I actually share an office).

From what I've seen in my 15 months working for this company, Sally is very resistant to change so I think she's choosing to disregard the safety meetings because 'we've never done that before'. (In the past, under the old ownership, the meetings were much less formal and were a part of our monthly section meeting.)
