I was an administrator at at major university. I was on a hiring committee for a particular staff position once and it was actually an easy hire. The candidate we selected was outstanding far and away from the other candidates. Our glow as a management team was short lived however. She didn't seem to understand chain of command for decisions and had to be reminded numerous times what her scope of duties entailed. I frequently found her in my department talking with my assistant about cross departmental projects she wanted to try out. As soon as she saw me she would quickly leave and when asked what she was working on she would say “oh I'm jus making a social call” On several occasions my assistant would complain that h kept telling her to talk to me. She would even go so far as to ask him questions during departmental staff meetings.

One time she was leaning through one of my teller Windows talking to my assistant and when she saw me and quickly started to leave. I grabbed one of my business cards and sprinted (in heels) out of my department and into the main hallway. I caught up with her and said “let me introduce myself, my name is Ava and I'm the manager of this department and I was on your hiring committee.”
