virtues
ADVERTISEMENTI just met the most impatient, unreasonable and coarse woman in my entire life and she is none other than the manager at my workplace. On my first day there, she was practically shouting the roof down (and at clients also), pushing me around (physically and literally) and throwing stuffs everywhere. Like wtf?! I really felt like slapping her can. All my other colleagues cannot stand it as well. One of them is like, resigning next week /:
And then I found out how to own her! And that is to
SHOUT BACK when she is being unreasonable instead of being docile and quiet. Not excatly shout lah, but you can just say things like, "I'm here to work, not for you to shout at!" or like "Everyone has their own style of working right!" (When she started flinging away the post-its tht I put to mark my COMPLETED and UNDONE stacks)." After that she becomes nicer to you. So I have come to a conclusion that she has no self-awareness at all. The thing is, she doesn't know she is being mean until you defend yourself or retaliate. Then she knows that she has crossed the line and will back off.
But in a way, she actually made me learn alot cause I am determined not to let her find fault with me. I think my ability to block of noise has also increased.
There's a job opening now at my place! Guaranteed Challenging! Anyone interested? :DHAHA!
