Default Re: woman help

why the hell is this thread called "woman help" when it's really about understanding/motivating/communicating with subordinates? It has NOTHING to do with the fact that she's a woman.

Unless I'm missing something. Did you sexually harras her?

[ QUOTE ]
3 poeple in our office. Me. My boss. The Secretary. Boss is out of the country right now. Boss asks secretary to do all sorts of personal things, like babysit and go to Costco. He can be a real pain in the ass.

Yesterday I ask Secretary to call our bank to retrieve a piece of info. The bank has two branches, with a woman of the same name working at both branches. Secretary asks to talk to Patricia. She is transferred to the wrong Patricia in the wrong branch. Secretary starts asking for the information thinking it's the Patricia she normally talks to. Evil Patricia turns into a bitch. I can tell because Secretary is stammering and apologizing and asking to be transferred to the Patricia in the other branch. Patricia won't do this and hangs up. Secretary is irritated and fires off an email to the bank complaining of her rude treatment. I supported her in this. Boss hears from our relationship manager. Boss criticizes secretary for not complaining through him. Then Boss tells secretary she can't take Friday off because she has to pick him up at the airport. Secretary starts bawling. Which is surprising because normally she is a pretty tough girl. Grew up in a refugee camp.

I told you it was a boring story.

OK, so why does she want Friday off? Sounds like it's important. Duh. That's the issue/ problem. Fix it.

huh?

wtf? first of all when the hell do you see a man break down and cry cause he just can't handle [censored]? this isn't a knock on women its just how they act. there are ways that men can act that a woman probably wouldn't, so it's not like he is trying to be sexist.

sexual harrassement? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I thought perhaps she was pissed about being called a secretary v. an assistant.

[/ QUOTE ]Secretary needs to converse with others before sending off e-mails complaining of such service, especially in an office this small, and especially when it is a bank you deal directly with.

edit: That being said, I think we are blowing this out of purportion.
