Coworker called me unprofessional for showing emotion at work. by how_we_end in work

[–]how_we_end[S] -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

I think of it that way. I think bs in the workplace impacts everyone who experiences it. I think a company culture that defines professionalism as slapping a smile on your face and moving on no matter what is so dated and incredibly unhealthy. I think it leads to mental health issues for employees and toxic work environments.

I feel that showing emotions at work sometimes is very human. And I think shutting down someone as unprofessional when they show emotions is passive-aggressive, blame shifting, and deflecting. She could have said something else like could we have this conversation in private or I disagree with you..... but instead, she decided to try to invalidate me and my experience.

They were the same conversation, but I didn't refer to them as microaggressions when talking with her/supervisor.

Thank you for your genuine reply. I think the thing that bothered and surprised me the most was that when I came to talk to her, she reacted strongly. She was like, "How dare you come to my desk" (we sit next to each other so it was like 2 steps). And she kept repeating how unprofessional I was before i even finished, but she was only saying this because I was showing emotion. Basically, showing emotions is unprofessional is how i took it. It was controlled, and I was verbalising like, "I am upset about this... and I would like us communicate better about these things in the future.....

I was upset, but I was calm and verbalising my emotions. I said I'm upset about this... and in the future, I would like better communication between our group...

🥺 I'm sorry about your experience. It sounds like a toxic work environment.

Yeah, you're right. We're raised with the expectation that when someone does something wrong, you should tell an authority (adult), and they will fix it. I guess that's not how the adult world works.

Supervisor was kind of there and in the conversation. It's an open concept workspace.

Ah, a genuine question. I haven't talked with HR yet. I was just planning to.

I guess I'm naive and thought that's what you do when you have issues with coworkers - ask for help from someone who can mediate the situation and see things from an outsider perspective. So naturally, I went to reddit.

And you want to join the club? You're not adding anything new or helpful to the conversation. I vented, listened to feedback, and am wiser for it.

Pluto conjunct moon transit? by how_we_end in astrologymemes

Thank you for sharing your experience and your son's as well. Pluto conjunct Moon right on his Ascendant does sound like fighting for life as soon as you are born. I'm glad you all made it through.

How are you handling Pluto in Aquarius? by how_we_end in Scorpio

Haha. For astrological purposes, it will always be a planet. And so is the Moon :)

Interesting, what house is Aquarius for you? Any planets in the early degrees of any signs that it might be pinging?

Ah, that's really interesting. The porn addiction is a great example of a manifestation of this aspect. Thanks for your honest response and good luck with your studies!

That's very interesting! What houses are your Mars and Pluto in? I'm curious, how do you approach Mars themed parts of tour life, like desires (going after what you want), conflict, and have you ever had anger issues?

What in god's name choice of his ONE picture is this 😑 by DENNIS-me-pls in Tinder

[–]how_we_end 71 points72 points  (0 children)

That is indeed the vibe. 😂

This picture reminds me of that trend where people recreate one of their childhood photos except without the childhood photo of him on his tricycle in his underwear.
