Not the easiest of weeks
Aug. 13th, 2009 09:39 pmBut not a bad one either. I tackled two very large, very high-level reports with something surprisingly like competence. XD
But I also had one terrifying moment when a discussion that I had privately with one person became uncomfortably *public*. What I told her was the absolute truth, and it was not very complementary to the other team's management skills. However, I didn't expect her to repeat it to another person, and add inflammatory jargon into the mix.
Do I feel that what I said was wrong? No, not really -- the other group was not living up to the standards we expected of them. Would I have ever phrased how I felt in such inflammatory terms? Hell no. All that does is sew distrust between the groups that have to coordinate this project.
Has anyone else had this happen? Had your words twisted into a mini-drama and then repeated publicly? I'll live down the embarrassment, but geeeeeeeez. ^^;;
