I know friend… I hear you.
The assignment with an unrealistic deadline, that is your problem to solve.
They called/emailed your customer and completely undermined your work.
In the meeting today, when you were shut down and treated as if your opinion didn’t matter.
Maybe it’s not specifically your boss, but instead the team member who’s leading the team – you don’t even report to them.
Whoever it is, let’s face it. They are making your life miserable. It’s not just getting to you at work, even at home – hours later – you can’t seem to shake what happened.
And if we’re honest, it’s not just that one isolated incident from today.
This is happening is small (and sometimes big) ways almost every day.
That thing that happened today… It is NOT okay.
It’s never okay to treat someone like they don’t matter.
It’s also not good business to go behind your back to your customers.
And it’s common courtesy to have a conversation with you about changes and adjust deadlines so that you are successful as a team, (instead you feel like you let everyone down).
Yet, it still happens.
And you are feeling hurt, angry, and maybe even resentful.
Absolutely!
You are human after all.
Never would you think someone on your team or a ‘leader’ would treat you, or anyone, this way.
Let me remind you, for every one of these people who:
Let you down,
Pushed you down, and
Kicked you while you were down.
There’s a bunch of other people who are:
🤩 On your side
🤩 Encouraged by you every day
🤩 Thankful they get to work with you
🤩 Appreciative of the efforts you make for the team
🤩 Thrilled to be your customer
Please, don’t let the negativity of that one person overshadow the love and support of all the others.
