Switch teams/departments/jobs if necessary. You can't really make people change their ways, and depending on how much of a prick they are, you might end up putting a target on your back by speaking up. I find it better to simply remove yourself from situation if possible.

For sure, it's definitely easier said than done but there's really not too many other alternatives. It often feels for me that I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Just no good choices, but we must still pick a path.

I had a manager like this, and I took them aside and spoke to them one on one. I made sure to voice how I felt, and how it affects my work. I think it worked because they didn't think I would do something like that, and they changed after that talk.

That is good to hear, hope they will never take you for granted and show any sign of disrespect again

Switch teams. Leopards don’t change their spots :(

You have only a few options. Try and talk to them, and hope that works, deal with it and not let it bother you (I know, much easier said than done), or get out from under them.

I am trying for a new opportunity:)

Hello all,

I've just started my new role as HR state manager for a large international law firm.

I'm a male and my admin is female. After working with her for a week and discussing it with my wife, I think my admin is a little smitten for me.

I have no feelings towards her whatsoever and have been nothing but very professional in all interactions.

Was wondering best way to set boundaries from the start?

Anyone witness slackers who got into companies you have no idea how? Had a coworker who does jack chit at work besides chatting on Facebook yet lands at a faang company? I guess if he brings the same work ethic he will be spit out for sure. Or maybe he just had no interest in doing project work.

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant

Been on a project for 2 weeks and thinking it’s not for me. The manager is kind of rude when I ask for help/direction, but he always says to ask if things are uncertain. He always has this condescending attitude and just keeps telling me that he expects more of someone at my level, C. I just keep feeling anxious that I’m not meeting expectations and feel reluctant to ask for help. Anyone in the same boat?

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?
