Speak up for yourself


Today, my boss suddenly told me that she wanted to talk to me which she said it was a casual chat. I was wondering that I must have done something wrong or received complaints. Know why? I was out of my mind yesterday as I packed a student’s English homework as Mathematics homework. When she told me to pack again, I packed wrongly again! LOL.

Anyway, later, I learnt that she wanted to know my opinion of a colleague (Z) as one of my colleagues does not like working with Z. To me, when I first worked with her, I felt that she bullied me and being demanding. Well, no one knew about it until yesterday. I have kept this to myself for almost a year (I have been with this centre for almost a year already) because I thought that I was the only one feeling in this way. When I am back to the tuition centre again, I thought that either she has treated me better or I am being immunised to how she treats me.

I did not tell other colleagues about what the boss asked me. I just asked them how they find Z. Only then, I realised that all of them could not stand her. Ha ha.

Some people keep telling me to speak up for myself when I get bullied. The thing is; I prefer peace to fight for justice for myself. Sometimes, I listen to whatever you tell me to do is not because I respect you and agree with you but rather I find that there is no point arguing with some people. There is never once they feel that they can be wrong. The worse is, they can do this but when you do the same thing, they say that it is wrong.

Well, I have tried consoling myself that these people must have lower EQ than I am. Ha ha
