Piece of advice

Here is one piece of advice I would share with my peer group/ team if awarded the opportunity…. Know your audience.

Does what I'm sharing need to be known by everyone in the group? Is it more effective to communicate to the individuals involved? Should I not share what I'm thinking at all?

There is this one person that thought it appropriate to share her thoughts about a pilot killing himself in a parking lot before imminent arrest. This person that he was a coward and was angry about his choice. I had enough of her bullshit building from interactions over the week of nasty follow ups. I didn't appreciate her tone. I don't appreciate her using our chat group as a social media page to voice her political and social opinions.

I told her I thought her comments were inappropriate and not constructive to our group. She was completely offended.

I recently saw her at a conference and said hello to work towards restoring the relationship. He did not return the greeting and looked me up and down like how dare I talk to her. She walked off. This is the quality of person we have on our team.

She is the golden girl and won 'prestigious' leadership award while at conference. I said congratulations. She just looked at me.

This is the type of person we celebrate as a company. Thanks but no thanks.

This is also the same person that refuses to open the car door by herself if there is a man with her. She will literally just stand there like a fool until someone gets the hint to treat her like a princess.

I refuse to participate in the manipulation and butt kissing. I refuse to kiss the ring of her highness. She will probably get promoted and end up being someone I report to.

When she's with leadership she is polite and put together. When she's with her people, she starts acting like a fool. There is no integrity. I think she wears a mask when she's with leadership. When she's with her people, that's who she really is. I don't like two faced people.

Either you're congruent or you're not. I think I'm congruent. Maybe I'm not. She's obtuse.

Maybe she's playing the game to win. I'm playing to survive. A lot of people play to win and a lot of them aren't very nice. Am I flawed for not playing to win?

Two faced people are exhausting.

This concludes today's geometry lesson.
