For weeks, a colleague has been difficult to work with, and I finally had it and let him know I was not ok with it. Now all of a sudden he’s telling everyone I’m confrontational. Ugh! What to do?

Tell him you’re also vindictive so he should shut his damn mouth. 😁

Sounds like he is being difficult. Maybe you should confront him. #rinseandrepeat

How did you approach telling him?

Don’t do anything. Who cares what this jerk thinks! Confrontational is much better than passive aggressive or someone who just takes people’s crap all the time. Bravo for standing up to this person! Bravo!

You are a girl right? Can tell by verbiage. You seem confrontational!!

If he’s difficult to work with, others should know? Or is he only difficult toward you?

If you were calm and professional in how you addressed him, then you did nothing wrong. Don’t worry about what his opinion of you is.

Confront him!

Hate such people who act as if it’s not their fault.

I gave notice to one of the partners at my small firm last week. It was amicable, but she told me to wait to tell the other partner until he returned from vacation. In the interim, she told the other partner and he blew up. He is now making insane demands and threatening to call my future employer if i don’t meet them. Most problematically, he refuses to meet with me to discuss transitioning my cases over the next week. I am not sure what to do, and I am worried about ethical rules.

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US. Nobody says that to my face, but I can see it in people’s actions. This has severely affected my confidence and I focus more on the way I pronounce some words rather than the content. How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.
