Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.
here we go!

I second what California elementary school 1 says. I struggle with responding to people in the moment and before a lot of meetings I literally jot down a couple of responses that I can say and I’m even getting better thinking on my feet. Always remember rude individuals are usually low key miserable
Thank you for the advice
Some people especially introverts have trouble thinking of a come back to rude comments or unfair demands in the moment. So how about you see if your obnoxious coworker has a pattern, think of an upcoming task or meeting & anticipate 1 or 2 likely actions he or she might have towards you. Then think of a possible response. Teachers do this when they are writing lesson plans & have a student with high behavior challenges. In fact use the ABC observation protocol to help you understand the behavior & document it & react effectively to it. Something must be driving it. Or document the behavior & discuss with HR. https://psychcentral.com/pro/child-therapist/2017/07/abcs-of-behavior-antecedent-behavior-consequence#3
Thank you so much for this information i really needed it
Have you ever seen You've Got Mail? Meg Ryan's character in the movie comes to the realization that having the perfect come back in the minute you need it actually leads to so much regret (take it from someone who is a loose cannon.. I get myself in trouble all the time). I would try to come up with a solid response to defend yourself but not fire back with meanness. "When they go low, we go high"
Anytime! I'm sorry you're going through this, but just hold your head up high and try not to let someone else's negativity affect who you are or how you see yourself. <3
Also just a note if you are POC in a predominantly white city, move to a diverse area. Some cities are more welcoming than others.
Take care and rise up. You are stronger than you know.
