Search Results: positive attitude

Well, I’m in such shock and can’t believe what happened. I’ve been at what was my current job for 4 months in career services at a college. You all have seen my posts, today is the straw that broke the camels back. I really felt like I was trying my best and my boss was pretty positive towards the quality of my work, I have felt micromanaged at times tho (lot of pressure due to meeting placement rate). She said I was one of the stronger people in the office but she’s been up my ass so what is it?

Today during a call she told me to do something and I clapped back saying I DID in fact do it, she’s ready to give orders and assume I didn’t do it. She replies to an email saying that we should do something different instead, all of these new things that are coming out of the woodworks. I was actually about to leave the building and not come back right b4 we had a big meeting to discuss graduation tomorrow.

I talked to my dad and he said just say you were at the bathroom. I was 10 min late, a coworker came looking for me with an attitude and my boss was yelling at me in front of the other people in the meeting saying that she wants to talk to me after. They proceeded like nothing happened, someone asks me a question and I turn to my boss saying “this is the way I’m being treated for the ONE time that I’m actually late to something”. And she said that was beyond the point, to not talk about it now. I said I’m not dealing with this, dropped my notes on the table and walked out. Left my desk keys on my desk and drove off.

Mind you, this was at 5 PM. I haven’t gotten any calls or emails. I am really shocked that I got such cunty behavior, when I have not seen this side of leadership. The ONE time I’m late?

Would you all have done the same?

Dear crush,

I have officially been your minion for 1 year! I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you being my trainer, mentor and friend. I've really enjoyed working with you and getting to know you better. You inspire me in so many aspects: your dedication, hard work, positive attitude and resilience, just to name a few. You always motive me to do better and to keep learning. I honestly can't thank you enough for putting so much effort into me.

You're a great coworker, and I know I'm not always the greatest person to work with. I'm sorry for rolling my eyes, giving you attitude, making it seem like I don't care about my job, being too slow, being too sensitive, and letting my pride and ego get the better of. Taking this job has definitely taught me about growth and I am so thankful, not only for the experience, but to also have a teacher who is patient enough to tolerate me and my flaws.

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you as my teacher and friend. You are relentlessly helpful, an amazing listener, and an awesome teacher. I know I still have a long way to go before I get anywhere near your level, but I know I can do it because I got you for a trainer. I know you believe in me, so I need to start believing in me too.

Thank you for everything!
