New in my market and just got review feedback that said “this region (the South) is more passive aggressive, we don’t do well with people (I.e. you, from up north) who shoot straight. You’ll also do..

Well to smile more, and sit with us when you’re in the office (which is never, b/c I’m at clients 95% of the time).” I feel like I just stepped backwards 🤦🏽‍♀️

What I will not do is bend over backwards. Hard line drawn in the sand, been there done that, and it wasn’t beneficial. I’ve been in this office for three months and have done all the attending events, reaching out, trying to get to know folks, etc and mostly been blown off. So it’s rather disingenuous to hear this from one of these same folks. The relationships will happen organically as I work on various teams, and that’ll be that.

Like EY 1 stated, at least you were given an honest feedback and you know going forward.

This is sad though 🙆🏾‍♀️

Sad for sure.

Exactly why I'm not built for the South

Exactly why I left the south to work in philly. Up north people don’t give a fuck about shit like that, only results
