...So Proud I Gave My Boss The Silent Treatment For A Week...

Hey there, so here's this thing that happened at my new job. I started last month and the team is cool but my boss... well let’s just say she could be better. She’s always criticizing my work in front of everyone and it’s really starting to grind on me. Last week was a real doozy, though. We had an important meeting about project timelines and my input wasn't appreciated at all... I felt like a fool. But you know what? A few days later, when she tried to ask me for the fifth time that day how things were going with this one thing that honestly isn’t even my responsibility in the first place? Well, that was it. I just stopped talking to her completely. Silence is golden and all that... so I didn't respond to any emails or texts and avoided eye contact when we crossed paths. After a week of total radio silence from me, she finally approached me one day looking frazzled and said something along the lines of ‘Can we please have a real conversation about our working relationship?’. I was like, really... why did it take you getting flustered for us to talk? It felt good to stick up for myself in my own way... But yeah, now things are different. She’s more mindful and keeps her distance which is just fine by me. So proud of that silent protest I pulled off...
