Towards the end of my last job I noticed I spent more time thinking about how to say things than what needed to be done. I found I was constantly worried about how I posed every opinion, and made sure no criticism was taken the wrong way. That’s when I realised, I wasn’t helping myself, I was just managing reactions. Have you ever been in a position where you were more concerned with how you said something rather than what you were saying?

I work with a client who instills fear into his employees and he isn’t ashamed to let you know that he is in charge. You have to ask for his permission on things like if you are sick, you have to “ask” if you can work from home since you don’t feel well. Or if you are sick and need to take sick time you have to ask if you can’t take off. He demands respect but doesn’t give it. He abuses his power in this regard. It’s extremely toxic and I don’t really get support from my Deloitte manager since they are friends and have a long history. It’s challenging to work under this environment but I have to just put up with it and be thankful to have a job. Sad…

I've been in positions where I had to be careful what I said, just because some of my colleagues tended to be short-tempered and anything could set them off. I will say that being careful how you phrase things is not necessarily a bad thing, being thoughtful in communication is actually quite a useful skill. But in some circumstances it does come down to having to take into account how temperamental someone may be.

He said I will be contacted once freeze is over. Do you think I still have any chances of getting in once the freeze is lifted and how long the freezes are in Oracle ? Oracle
