Dealing with a #Condescending boss? So did I. Unfortunately, this can happen in some #Workplaces, where the power dynamic feels one-sided, and you're expected to follow the tune that #PaysTheBills. However, not all workplaces or #Cultures operate this way. You have the #Power to set #Boundaries, communicate #Effectively, and #Advocate for yourself. Take steps to reclaim your confidence and create a healthier professional space for yourself.

"It only comes across as #condescending "

Because every reply from him has been Condescending.

"God, from “out there,” has #condescended graciously to accord special revelations: (1) to the Hebrews, historically, on Sinai, via Moses; (2) to mankind, historically, via Jesus; but then also, apparently, (3) to mankind, once again, historically, in a cave near Mecca, via Mohammad."

My response to their #BCNDP #BCgovt #indoctrinated #bullshit:

I understand how #corrupt #government works since I used to work under 2 different corrupt BC governments.

Don't do future #condescending crap on me about how government works. I hate government because I have seen the fugly innards of it, multiple times.

I will update by tonight on alternate phone meeting date & time. I'm too overloaded today to deal with than this email reply.

#MikeHuckabee is a monumentally #condescending and #misogynistic prick. The implication of his remark is that #women are incapable of making their own #reproductive #healthcare decisions, and they are easily led by men with nefarious motives. This is a fundamental belief of #Evangelical #Christians who view women as #inferior, second-class citizens whose job it is to #birth as many #children as possible, and always #obey their #husbands.

The Messenger · Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee Says Women Who Have Abortions ‘Probably Got Talked Into’ itBy Kayla Gallagher

Public Service Announcement

If you call someone “kid” on the internet, it’s tone is sometimes condescending.

“You’re a sweet kid” is probably not condescending.

“You got that, kid” is probably condescending.

I don’t care if you’re old enough to be their parent or grandparent, don’t do it unless you want to be condescending.

It’s the equivalent of an Aussie calling you “mate” … you aren’t their mate, they think you’re an idiot … or an American calling you “champ.”

I post links that are of interest to me & ones I believe may also interest folks who follow me. Sometimes, links posted provide more opportunities for discussion. I appreciate engagement. I'm fine with discourse too. I'm not OK w/shitass trolling & trying to hijack my posts w/BS, #IllIntent , #deflections / #gaslighting & being #abusive & #condescending to me from folks I've never interacted w/before & quick to attack me for speaking my mind.

I don't put up w/any asshats - familiar or not.
