The Say Anything Thread

[Alex & Rachel 78]

I just kicked some card board boxes into pices in the backyard, so I feel a wee bit better now.

My boss decided that today was the day to let me know that he thinks I have a low self esteem. And that after he told my other deary colleague that he got fat and that he (my boss) was shocked seeing the colleague come back from vacation this Monday, because the size of his belly had gotten out of control.

I really truely love my boss (in a platonic kind of way), but sometimes he just needs to stfu. If he had at least made the effort to explain his crazy thoughts, but he just blabbered and then left me with the valuable piece of information. It is a bit true though, I think that is why it upsets me so much. I avoid all client events which I haven't organised and always find excuses for the work social events. I am just not a crowd person, that's all. I find that calling me a person with a low self esteem is a little exaggerated though, because I do fine in meetings and other situations. Just not in crowds.

Oh geez, I am just reading a thread in the K3 forum - a classic case of VJ sheeesh.

It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, it doesn't seem to me like it's the type of comment that's suitable to give to an employee. If he'd been mean but true about something work related then I could understand, but his comment to you and your colleague is tactless and out of order. Hugs!

Thanks, I thought that as well. I can top it though - a few months back, when my Mom's cancer started being a b!tch again, he said - "Well, it's better if she dies soon, so you can focus on work and your life again. Like this, you are just too focussed on her." I was really upset when he said that and didn't talk to him for a couple of days. He is just an insensitive dumb azz, but somehow I still really enjoy working with him. I am pretty good at just ignoring certain things.

That's uh...quite something! I'm sure we can all be a little careless with our words sometimes and I certainly sometimes speak without thinking but even so, I can't ever imagine saying anything like that.

In the States I would have probaly been able to sue him for that!
