I feel ya on that. It's tough, especially when you'd like to set them up for success but the situation plus the defensiveness don't make it easy. Im guessing she might be a bit younger? You dont just go into the workforce knowing the correct way to act... sometimes you have to learn the simple things... youd be surprised! And I have lost it at work (twice) and trust me Im pretty sure she did NOT want to cry infront of her boss! In fact thats probably the last thing she wanted to end up happening... Maybe so. Since I work with loads of teenagers, crying really pizzes me off. That is how they handle getting out of shifts. Turn on the tears, boo hoo, I had a bad day at school and I don't want to come in, boo hoo. My boyfriend dumped me and I can't work right now, waahh.. That is life, people. Sometimes you have to work even when your life sux. And my DD is a drama queen. She was crying about her homework tonight. Stop crying about it and JUST DO IT!!! And don't lie to your Mama  So I don't have a lot of patience with tears in these kind of situations. |

Champion 26509 Sydney | Subject: RE: Nibbs XXVI lastcall2003 - 2008-10-30 12:50 PM kaqphin - 2008-10-29 9:44 PM Im guessing if she is currently frustrated with the way things are right now this is just an extra level on top of that frustration. Also if she is in the early part of her career she may not have had a boss willing to mentor/guide her yet - so she might not know how to recognise it as a good thing. you truly could not have pegged the situation more accurately so, at this point - I hope that some day she will look back on today (or on the days to come) and feel she learned something Umm yeah... I've kinda been there in the past.... things seem better in hindsight sometimes... She might come back tomorrow and be in a better frame of mind - if you can tell her why its a good opportunity it might help - I would have liked to have had someone tell me that straight up (as in a Whats in it for HER - everyone primarily thinks about themselves rfirst right?)

Yeah, OK, I know that was last night's discussion... just teasing I only watch t.v. when I'm on my trainer... and then I usually watch on demand stuff, so I don't know anything about Futurama (which I think is a grown up cartoon on t.v.?). Is it good? I might have to add it to my list of things to tivo for trainer rides! |
