If you didn't make that passive aggressive remark initially I would have talked to your manager about it, but you sounded like kind of a dick responding the way you did, so I would just leave it.

I think you could have stated your position better. Instead of saying he's on the system, you could have explained that you see him on the system, but you have no idea whether he is physically present in the room or not since you didn't check him in. Also maybe talk about how it would be an invasion of privacy if you just barged through the door to check if he's there or something.

Right now, i'd privately ask her for a chat and explain your stance without getting heated. If you don't nip it right now, it could continue to harbor resentment

Your in charge of her no?
Disciplinary gogo! Thats what i would do. You don't like the way she is acting being. Call her in for a formal warning about her conduct with you on the other staff (guessing she is like it with others)

You handled the situation in the morning like a complete moron, so well done on that. Her question was vague, but your answer was completely useless. Twice. You had way more information about the situation than her, as well as the means to gather even more. However, you refused to. Entirely on you.

Her remark at the end of the day was, yes, wrong of her. She should not have done that.
Personally, I would make a note that it happened and continue as normal. If these things keep happening, keep logging them.
Approach a superior should they get out of hand.

Also, in future, answer the question with the information you have at hand in a way that actually helps the person asking the question.
"I don't know" is fine. "I can call their room" is fine. A non-answer as you provided is insulting and useless.
I will reduce you to a series of numbers.

As a manager, you should be more mature. Sounds like you were being a dick to her. Take your ego down a notch.

This is about as big of a deal as you make it, really.

Seems to me like you were on a powertrip. You knew what she was asking and yet purposely avoided to answer properly and when she questioned you the second time you thought she was challenging your position.

First you refuse to answer her intended question, basically trolling her, and then you tell people in the staff meeting that you would looove to improve communication at work.


yeah....

agreed. why would you even be mad at this? She is presenting you an opportunity to improve communication with others (which includes her) and you were pretty blind to it, no wonder you felt blindsided

I don't get why you guys are ragging on the OP.

I mean, why the hell would he know if the guy is in his room or not? When I go to a hotel I don't want the front desk dude following me around checking where I'm at at all times of the day. Unless I'm missing something here, it sounds like she was just too lazy to walk to the room and check herself.

The issue is not whether he knew or not, it was how he handled the situation. Rather than telling her "I'm sorry, I don't know", he gave her a snarky answer, which is probably a contributing factor to her aggressiveness towards him.

And yes she is most likely being very lazy, but that's the issue that needs to be addressed directly, as mature adults.
