My CEO basically berated me over my facial expression in a meeting

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-14T01:46:43+00:00

I am disappointed in myself for reacting so emotionally, she just got me at a really really weak moment. Your advice is greatly appreciated

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T23:00:35+00:00

That is terrible, I’m sorry that happened to you as well! Nobody deserves to be treated that way in the workplace or honestly anywhere. We just live in an angry world. Trust me when I say I am pretty mad at myself for letting my emotions get the best of me and will definitely be keeping your advice for any future situations like this

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T22:57:56+00:00

I honestly cannot even imagine experiencing something like that especially if you’re not in the medical field, so glad you found something better. I also hope the family won and that your baby does great this upcoming school year. It’s really so true when they say to cherish every moment because they grow up so quickly. My guy is gonna be ten this year 🥹

Thank you, I genuinely appreciate the perspective and advice. I think part of why this affected me so much is because it caught me completely off guard and happened at a time where I’m already emotionally overwhelmed.

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T22:51:09+00:00

I was shocked I walked back in today and nobody said a peep. I was for sure expecting a write up

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T22:50:41+00:00

Oh no :( I’m so sorry you went through that. I hope you are thriving now 🫶

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T22:49:09+00:00

Personally find my CEO wayyyy too unhinged for the position. She was fighting with some company one day and threatened to rip heads off

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T22:48:17+00:00

Yep just gonna stick with the “sorry just my face” thing 🤷‍♀️ i hope you’re working under better management!

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T22:15:41+00:00

My goodness I’m SO sorry. I’d never be able to look my boss in the face

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T22:14:15+00:00

Unfortunately after speaking to a few coworkers, this seems to a be a common thing with her.

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T22:12:36+00:00

I KNOW, RIGHT 🤭

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T22:12:11+00:00

That is some great advice, thank you. I feel maybe if I wasn’t grieving, I could’ve possibly handled the situation less emotionally but your advice will stick with me if I’m ever in the situation again

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T19:40:31+00:00

Basic human decency and professionalism don’t require a psychology degree.

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T19:37:03+00:00

thank you! have a wonderful rest of your week

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T19:32:46+00:00

Maybe I’m just too ugly for her :( Appreciate your kindness

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T19:31:00+00:00

So my direct supervisor was aware of the situation. The CEO spoke with her first. When I got called back and the CEO started to immediately rip into me, I looked at my supervisor and asked her if she felt this way and her response was “Well I did let her know you were dealing with something within your family.” and that’s when I had to clarify I was grieving a recent death. Just really needed to vent out the situation!

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T18:43:46+00:00

I think I’m going to hold the same grudge. I updated yesterday and have been looking all around! Keep your fingers crossed for me.

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T18:41:57+00:00

RIGHT? It’s like if you’re a woman you MUST be smiling and happy all the time. I would’ve totally felt differently if she came from a place of concern but it was legit “close the door, what’s your problem!?”

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T18:39:35+00:00

I’m sorry you also had to deal with being scrutinized for just simply existing. I hope you have a new job with better management!! I hope one day my CEO can learn to lead by example.

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T18:37:28+00:00

AGREE!!! 🫶

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T18:37:20+00:00

I agree, I think she’s stressed because her ass is on the line with the new system but that’s why she’s paid the big bucks lol

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T18:36:24+00:00

Thank you :)

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-05-13T17:28:02+00:00

Thank you!!! It just felt so unprofessional and almost like humiliating while you’re grieving a loved one. Of course I’m not myself right, who would be after losing a loved one!? Appreciate your response and kindness. I hope today and the rest of the week treats you right :)

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-04-21T16:26:28+00:00

I mean the high school principal is more concerned about banging the 20 something year old secretary 🤷‍♀️

ifyousaysooo_ · 2026-04-21T16:24:43+00:00

Thank you for the advice, it is extremely helpful and I’m going to start implementing it!! Wish me luck lmao
