I have a manager who says I need to memorize keyboard shortcuts so I can be faster pushing this narrative that I’m not fast enough. Usually this is only called out when he insists on-screening. My hearing processes slower so it takes me a bit when on-screening. My two prior managers at my current agency never raised the problem or expectation nor have they or other teams I assist on always praised how fast and good I work.
Thoughts on how to respond? He scolded me not to defend or explain.

Send an email acknowledging his request while reminding him of your hearing impairment. You need to create a paper trail. If he still pushes, you could explore filing for reasonable accommodations. Gives you extra legal protection against him coming after you for something you can’t control. HR takes those very seriously bc it puts them in a compromised situation if they don’t follow the law.

Two questions: 1. What is on screening and 2. Who hurt your manager?

The point is not that the manager is a silly billy?

I was at a friend’s. Her and her neighbors are all moms and get together for dinner while the kids play. A father showed up to drop off kid while the mom was busy elsewhere, instead of going about his plans he stayed with us. I felt so much sexual tension with him there its so weird. I was attracted to something about him and i know i had his attention. I could barely look him in the eyes when he would make conversation. I wanted to… you know what. SO WEIRD. Hes not even a 10!
