Why I’m pissed off today, part ii
Comments (25) Unfortunately, I have updates to yesterday’s post. (I promise a more cheery post tomorrow. I just have to let off some steam. I am too pissed off to talk about this. Even thinking about it makes me mad.)
I emailed the person early Saturday morning to tell them I felt there was a miscommunication and they were asking me to do more than I felt I was qualified for/or had the time/or care for. They emailed me back today, saying they didn’t mean to pressure me. They understand everyone has limitations. They don’t want to take up too much of my time. They just want my input and help.
They asked if we could meet, which I said was fine, because I prepared something back in March (as previously mentioned).
I must be so naive.
They send out an email, inviting others to meet in a few weeks and discuss things. I am fine with this.
But at the bottom of the email, is a note (paraphrased below).
Kim, please look at the attachment and edit it. I would like to have it back by Tuesday, tomorrow. Please know this just came up and is a one time quick rush thing.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Was I corresponding with the SAME person today? It doesn’t seem like someone would tell you they understand you are pressed for time, then give you something they want you to edit for the next day.
I really want to help. But it’s time to set some boundaries. Or not help at all.
