I have never in all the years I have been working felt more compelled to lash out at certain persons more so than now. I can take a lot. And I don't take it personally, it is business but when you start insulting me in front of others, we have a problem.
You may think it is cute and funny but I think you are a twat booger! Yes I said that...yes I know it is gross...no I do not care....yes I am pretty sure I invented a new term, it is my new insult when dealing with idiots.
Have I told you how much I love dealing with unprofessional people in a professional setting...? I mean I just adore it when you are in a room of people and the only thing the person who called the meeting can focus on is my attire/accessories/personal life/etc. As in things that have ZERO to do with the meeting. I can't be overly rude, I have to be professional but I will give you the evil eye so just stop! I also love it when someone who called the meeting or is one of the "Dept Heads" implies that I push off my work on others. I am ONE person, ONE, if I have to give something to my admin because I don't have time, well I will. It doesn't mean I am "passing it off" on her, it means I am delegating because I have other s**t to do! You are a jerk for saying that at all much less in front of a room full of people!!! What is sad is this is more than one person at different customers doing the SAME THING!
Did I mention that these are persons of the male gender?!? Well they are...they are and they make me and probably other women in these meetings rather uncomfortable. I am not your friend...I am not your buddy, I am a VENDOR and I have a million other things I need to be doing that do not involve me sitting here and explaining that although I wear a lot of blue, purple is in fact my favorite color or why I don't have kids. That my not friend is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!
I can be "work acquaintances" with customers but somewhere in the midst of your life you have forgotten how to separate work acquaintances from personal friends. Work acquaintances do not discuss vacations in depth...seriously who needs to know what I drank while on vacay. My actual co-workers (who are friends) don't even know that nor did they ask.
I don't get it. Apparently I am not the only one who feels some of these people are inappropriate and guess what all the others who feel this way are female. Shocking I know. These "men" are like a ticking time bomb...one day they are going to say something to the wrong person and end up on the receiving end of a lawsuit. I believe they are "harmless" but they do speak to me as though I am below them sometimes and it makes me want to backhand them... out the window...from the 4th floor. I guess not 100% harmless because I think if it came down to it they would sh*t all over my reputation just to save their a$$e$ so yea.
But watch...just watch...I am going to be less kind (not even rude) and suddenly I am going to be the one that is "difficult to work with" or a "b***h". How much ya wanna bet?
