My boss when you suggest that genuine positive encouragement once in awhile would feel good after completing a big project.

When your boss brings you so much anxiety that you:

1. Never join virtual meetings early so that you won’t get stuck with her 1-on-1 and have to pretend to do small talk before other team members join.

Shit my boss said (classist edition): [discussing voting in the Nov 2024 general election. A coworker said we should have the day off to increase turnout]

Boss: “we should just encourage mail-in ballots more. Americans are dumb & won’t vote if they have the day off. They’ll just go on vacation.”

Shit my boss said (training edition).

During our big switch between two different email marketing, petitions + CRM platforms, I suggested we ask for a training package for a few hours of really learning the new tool.

My boss said yes, and we scheduled the training.

My boss once told me that she doesn’t like to be made to feel like she’s micromanaging me, but because of how I work, she does (even though I’m reliable with deadlines).

That’s because she likes to get a lot of progress updates along the way, and wants me to anticipate when she’d want them.

Shit my boss said (annual review edition):

“You’re great with deadlines and submit good work. You have a strong design eye. But because of the WAY you do things, it makes it hard to appreciate the end-product sometimes.”

I have ADHD btw.

Shit my boss did (a month after my pregnancy ended):

1. Organized a baby shower for the person who I replaced (who she likes more than me; another loud white woman type - no shade to this person tho).

2. She then invited people from our office to that baby shower & included me in the mass email.

Shit my boss said:

[asking about the possibility of staggering my parental leave (i.e. instead of 6 straight weeks off, 4 full weeks off & then 4 weeks working part-time)]

“Sure, as long as when you’re back, you’re really back & not taking care of your baby.”

The pregnancy didn’t work out btw.
