The company that I work for has several offices throughout the U.S. We work very closely with one office in Chicago…we have weekly teleconferences, ad hoc meetings via phone whenever we need them and we’re constantly emailing back and forth. I work closely with one of the project managers (though I have never met her face to face…we’ll call her X).
I told my supervisor (who works in my office) and X which days I would be taking for PTO. About a week before I was scheduled for my PTO, I changed my flight and planned on leaving 2 days earlier than I had originally planned. I told my supervisor, who OKayed the change/early departure. It slipped my mind to update X about all of this so when I was on a conference call (with multiple people) she asked which days I planned on being out of the office. I updated her with my new plans and she responded, “you little biotch, you never told me you were leaving early.”
Biotch?!?!?!? Look X, I’m not your 15 year old daughter nor have I even met you. This is what happens when “adults” try too hard…you basically just called me a bitch.
- you don’t know me like that
