My boss is also the type to hold grudges. She says it's not personal when work stuff comes up, but she totally acts snotty for a while. I'm worried she's gonna totally be rude to me the next 2 week...
We always try to leave things on a good note! What if our example should sway somebody's opinion of the truth, either yay or nay?
true.. but what if her giving into them leaves that same impression. Im pretty opinioated about this cause i had a boss like this. i was working at this dumpy ISP in like 98 for around 2 years. getting like 9 bucks an hour. I worked there day and night and never got a raise never any appriciation. Finally i found a job at Verizon Wireless.. I gave the guy 3 weeks notice.. he didnt do a thing till the day i was going to leave... told me I couldnt leave... so i pushed back my start date another 3 weeks to accomidate him. Then like a week or so later he told me he found someone and let me go.
Managers just try to suck what they can outta you. They will take and take what they can. and by giving into them and lettting them throw their tantrums you just hurt yourself.
WOW, that is horrid Mikey!
Ok I gues I have never had it bad, so my perspective is all peaches & yearbook.
I bow out gracefully, I don't know anything.
yeah, but you should have just left when you said you were going to leave. You needed to be nice, yet, firm. *shrug*. Still need to be that way at our job, too, or you'll get walked all over. Every job is like that. 3 weeks is 3 weeks. 2 weeks is 2 weeks. Let your yes mean yes, your no, no.
I'm definitely not promoting being a sucker, and giving in. Be kindly, but firm.
you also have to remember that this lady does not give two cents about you. she is just trying to get as much out of you before you leave. she wouldn't lose any sleep over firing you. she is totaly just trying to guilt trip you...do not let it work!!!
