Kalliste: My boss decided the 2 teams at work should sit with their respective teams, they mostly do now except one person because they need an adjustable desk for OHS reasons.
She sits with my team when she's in the other team. I suggest just moving her into my team (I'm the TL) so that everyone doesn't need to move completely for one person.
Boss says "no, I want you to physically move"... you make no sense boss!
On a wider scale... local 'news' site here news.com.au top story yesterday "quiz: which reality star are you' .. really? This is news now? When did people become so obsessed with having information every second that news sites are just full of wasted words.
Ive experienced similar situations to what your having with your teams, the reason might be different but when I questioned the actions I was told it was to do with the other staff members "dignity in the workplace" The irony to that being he got on well with our team and was openly hostile to his own team.
