How does it feel to be told off for something you're helping someone with?
How does it feel to be told off in front of many people, when the issue doesn't even concern you?
How does it feel for someone to "bang table" in front of you just to get her point across, even if you've nothing to do with it?
How does it feel to get screwed right in the face for something that DOESN't EVEN CONCERN YOU?
I am feeling it right now, and I've no words to describe this horrible sucky feeling.
I just read a book last night about how we react to unpleasant situations, but i can't seem to apply it because I've been so wronged.
The best part is: When the HEAD concerned called that woman to clarify, her tone was ao angelic!!!
What does that tell me? That we ordinary staff are treated differently, and deserve no mutual respect at all?
When the HEAD called me, she told me that I shouldn't take it lying down, and that I should provide my feedback to that woman's boss.
What grosses me out is: How does shouting at one solve problems? Where is our culture of care and helping others? Why guard our territory so fiercely n defensively? Couldn't she have heard me out and settled the problem instead of blowing it out of proportion?
All it takes is one person to ruin the day.
Perhaps what a good friend said is true: These days, those with loud voices seem to 'win' in every situation.
Do we return ungodly behaviour with ungodly behaviour? It's not right to do that.
I've learnt one thing, it doesn't pay to be kind. =(
I'm so discouraged by such behaviour.
Does that mean that we appear to be pushovers when we choose not to argue back?
I think that woman's reaction was totally uncalled for.
