Yeah in the end, the minor annoyance was just that--minor. But those habits she has will almost certainly interfere with her career goals. Not my circus ultimately but it's worth considering. edj3https://www.blogger.com/profile/11137939126171451654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899824361331886204.post-28177380953574570662016-04-14T21:23:45.481-05:002016-04-14T21:23:45.481-05:00I probably wouldn't have done anything.

My job as an Administrative Assistant is to be accommodating to everyone at all times, being able to recognize when someone is feeling a certain way by observing his or body language and to alter my communication style so that it is more in line with the person to whom I am communicaing. This is not easy to do, especially in situations that take over my personal space. I would be more inclined to remove myself than to talk to the offender face to face.<br />It is unfortunate as I believe myself to be a strong, assertive professional. Though my fear of coming off as a bitch outweighs my confidence.<br />The Army taught us to take deep breaths and drive on through adversity. Is it training or avoidance in those tough situations? Either way, I chalk it up to social survival.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324970764311147691noreply@blogger.com
