I groan when I see a reply
on a professional loop
from a certain woman.
I KNOW it will be negative,
and a push back on decisions being made.
Why do I know that?
Because she ONLY responds
when she disagrees.
If she likes a decision,
she doesn’t let anyone know.
She thinks she’s being efficient,
not wasting anyone’s time
with affirmations.
Instead, she’s seen as negative,
and a barrier to progress.
There’s a very human tendency
to respond only when we disagree.
FIGHT IT.
If you agree with a decision,
put your balls on the line
and say you agree with it.
If you think someone did a great job,
pat them vocally on the back.
That way,
when you disagree,
people will listen to you.
Oh, yeah,
and you won’t be seen
as an ungrateful bitch.
