MartinBeing blind helps sometimes. seems I upset my manager thrice today, that's 3 times for folks who aren't in the know. The thing is, I am outspoken. This won't come as a surprise on here, but here we are. Every time I somehow upset him, I got a Teams text from a colleague telling me as much. It's not like I go out of my way to upset him. I jjust ask questions. These questions are valid and honest questions that I have. If it upsets you, someone needs to suck it up buttercup. And hear I thought we weren't in high school anymore?
ReadingTheDots (Lynn I)@mcourcel I found managers/supervisors who are insecure to be easily upset. The ones who are comfortable in their own skin and not dictatorial usually are easygoing and good listeners. If they're upset by valid questions, in my view, that just shows they're in the former category.
@ReadingTheDots Yup. I've dealt with his kin before. So paranoid that they might do something wrong that they react to everything that might be threatening. It sucks to live life that way, but whatever. I'm certainly not choosing that path.
@mcourcel Yes, and it makes it difficult for anyone working under them. That's one thing I kept in mind when I had supervisory roles. I did my utmost to treat people fairly. I'm sure I wasn't always successful and made mistakes, but I always made an effort.
Lynette@ReadingTheDots @mcourcel Me and you both. And yet I still got displaced by the person who liked to gossip and play childish games with people. So unfortunate.
@lynessence @mcourcel I'm sure that happens a lot also. Unfortunate!
