You mean, gay baiters? I don’t give them the time of day. Simple.

Well they seem to be curious. So you can choose not to pursue them, and if it’s affecting your work life, maybe speak to your Supervisor about different assignments that maybe keeps you from interacting or working with said person.

Or definitely utilize your HR department.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game baby. Maybe you’re not use to men being friendly? What are they saying?

Also, if they’re doing that then why don’t you just stay professional and realize what they’re doing. If you’re aware of something, can’t you reframe your mindset to not let it affect you?

Roll with it

Agreed, roll with it, enjoy the ego boost (albeit fakel), and then do not give them the account/new business, or give them extremely hard terms to meet to win your business. They will have done all of that for nothing.

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.

Currently our marketing team is of one (me) and we outsource quite a bit of other tasks as we continue to grow. With that said, one of the tasks I am currently involved with is creating weekly emails from scratch and I am pretty darn good at them. Yet so many people (several in different teams) have requested to review my work before it’s sent. It’s unnecessary and makes the job less efficient. How can I politely and professionally decline their request?
