I realise today...that working under a difficult female lawyer isn't easy.
Kena from her today. The 2nd time in fact. Even worse than the 1st time.
Not that she scolded me or wat. The way she "interrogated" me and as if "forcing me to a corner" was making me almost bursting!! Yet I cannot yell back at her. It's all started from misunderstanding her instructions and of cuz' miscommunication between us. But can't she sound better when askin me? She went " Didn't I tell you this? Didn't I? Did I? And you still went yes yes you understand." What I wanted to speak up for myself is that, I understand the task that you are askin me to do, and I understand that you need it by 12 noon today. At the same time, there was an earlier task that you've given me and it was also due by lunch time too!!!!! Since I was already half-way doing the earlier task, I decided to continue it then move on to the new task. You also din say that you need the new task as first priority. I really feel the pressure when speaking to her, and hate most when I caught her at the wrong time, or when I can't perform something up to her expectations/instructions. Sigh...
To me, she is also someone quite fake. When I did something right (something simple), she will use strong words like "Excellent! Good Job! Well done!" I will think, no need to be so 夸张 right? Say a simple thank you I already very 感动 liao, no need to gei gei use tis kinda words bah... She also got this lawyer's temper and airs lor.. Buay tahan..
I hope I wun step on her tail again.. Please... I am afraid I may break down if she keeps forcing me like that...
female bosses are very temperamental. my ex-boss is temperamental, fake and terribly bitchy. so i kinda understand what you mean.
ReplyDeletejust keep in mind, at the end of the day, it's only a job -- a means for us to earn money so that we can have the life we want. try not to let it bother us too much.
加油！
Hey thanks for your reminder.. I will... juz that when I see how she bitches around, I feel like shouting back at her.. haha...
ReplyDeleteNt easy to work with her...prefer the other male lawyer.. Very nice gentleman (thou abit gayish la)
Hmmm... Yup, sounds like she's a bit hard to manage. Try to ventilate somewhere else bah. Don't ying4 pong4 ying4... Afterall, you still got to work under her for months / years to come... Hang in there... =)
ReplyDeleteTake it easy. Find time to explain to her nicely but firmly that you need to prioritise your work. Otherwise the impression might grow on her that you can't perform. Important to show your side of the story.
ReplyDeleteWell, basically she is such a kind of the person who DUN give you a chance.
ReplyDeleteToday something happened (less serious) and I spoke up for the reason behind the actions. She was the one jumpin up & down, & making a big hooha, yet she told me to cool down... I was the one telling her the reason calmly...PUI!
