Delusions of grandeur

A few days ago I was here sharing a situation I am living in my workplace, because if you do not know well what you do and how it should be done, you will make many mistakes and those who do not know could guide you down the wrong path.

Last week I narrated my experience, and let's say that for coming out as a redeemer to explain what was wrong, labor wise, I was almost crucified, the next day I managed to review more in depth and there were some details of that work that could be corrected to give more strength to some aspects of those mentioned there. Forgive me if I speak in code, but I cannot give details.

On the other hand, as it is to be expected, if there are doubts, one approaches his co-worker, the one who was on site, to clarify what he observed on site and why he made some decisions, there arose another dilemma, because there was a difference of criteria and I noticed that my colleagues did not like it.

I imagined that the topic would bring discomfort, so I suggested to the graduate to investigate and consult if she had any doubts and that in the face of the discomfort of the colleagues, she should take the baton as leader of the office.

I knew that these issues would bring discomfort and perhaps some confrontation, but not to the level I witnessed. Well, today those coworkers made gossip where there was none and, above all, one of them said so many inconsistencies and put a lot of things on the table that had nothing to do with it, so I was shocked. In short, she told me that she had done it to discredit her work.

As expected, I clarified the point and maintained my criteria about the work I am doing, but it is so unpleasant to work with people who take everything personally and as a competition, that I could not help but reflect on the subject.

The first thing was to evaluate and sincerely evaluate if indeed I approached my superior with the best intentions and yes, I did, because there are details that can only be reinforced by changing some aspects and I would like to make the most of it.

Second, in how some people take everything personally and exaggerate when they are not given the reason or feel that someone takes away a little shine, because it is indisputable that they like to shine.

Third, if I am becoming someone who wants to attract attention, I really do not think so, I just like to do my job and well; but I insist and will insist that there are situations to be corrected and that should not be repeated, because they leave much to be desired of the work we do.

Fourth, there will always be people who are complicated and who will make a problem out of everything, and I must learn to live with this without it affecting me. If they feel attacked because I do my job and make them respect my criteria, that is their problem.

In short, working with people who have no work maturity, not to mention any other kind, is terrible. The more I remember the amount of nonsense they said that had nothing to do with work, the more I am surprised and at the same time I laugh because it was something out of context.

Hace unos días estuve por acá compartiendo una situación que estoy viviendo en mi lugar de trabajo, ya que si no se conoce bien lo que se hace y cómo debe hacerse, se cometerán muchos errores y los que no sepan podrían guiarte por el camino equivocado.

La semana pasada narré mi experiencia, y digamos que por salir de redentora a explicar que estaba mal, laboralmente hablando, casi me crucifican, al día siguiente logre revisar más a fondo y había algunos detalles de ese trabajo que se podían corregir para darle más fuerza a algunos aspectos de los que allí se mencionan. Me disculpan si hablo en clave, pero no puedo dar detalles.

Por otro lado, como es de esperarse, si hay dudas, uno se acerca a su compañero de trabajo, al que estuvo en el sitio, para que te aclare, lo que observó en el lugar y porque tomo algunas decisiones, allí surgió otro dilema, pues hubo una diferencia de criterio y note que a mis compañeras no les gusto.

Imagine que el tema traería incomodidad, por lo que le sugerí a la licenciada que investigara y consultara si tenía dudas y que ante la incomodidad de las compañeras, tomara ella la batuta como líder de la oficina.

Sabía que estos temas traerían incomodidad y tal vez algún confrontamiento, pero no al nivel que presencie. Pues hoy esas compañeras armaron un chisme donde no lo había y, sobre todo, una de ellas dijo tantas incoherencias y puso un montón de cosas en el tapete que no tenían que ver, por lo que quedé en shock. En pocas palabras, me dijo que lo había hecho para desprestigiar su trabajo.

Como era de esperarse, aclaré el punto y mantuve mi criterio sobre el trabajo que estoy realizando, pero es tan desagradable trabajar con personas que se lo toman todo personal y como una competencia, que no pude evitar reflexionar sobre el tema.

Lo primero fue evaluar y sincerar si efectivamente me acerqué a mi superior con las mejores intenciones y sí, así fue, pues allí hay detalles que solo se pueden reforzar cambiando algunos aspectos y me gustaría sacarle el mayor provecho.

Segundo, en cómo algunas personas se toman todo personal y exageran cuando no les dan la razón o sienten que alguien les quita un poco de brillo, porque es indiscutible que les gusta brillar.

Tercero, en si me estaré convirtiendo en alguien que desea llamar la atención, la verdad no lo creo, a mí solo me gusta hacer mi trabajo y bien; pero si insistí e insistiré en que hay situaciones por corregir y que no deben repetirse, pues dejan mucho que desear de la labor que llevamos a cabo.

Cuarto, siempre existirán personas complicadas y que por todo armen un problema y debo aprender a vivir con ello sin que me afecte. Si ellos se sienten atacados porque yo hago mi trabajo y haga respetar mi criterio, es su problema.

En resumen, trabajar con personas que no tienen madurez laboral, por no hablar de otro tipo, es terrible. Mientras más recuerdo la cantidad de tonterías que dijeron que hasta no tenían que ver con el tema laboral, más me sorprendo y al mismo tiempo me río porque fue algo fuera de todo contexto.

If they feel attacked because I do my job and make them respect my criteria, that is their problem.

There's always a reason why people are defensive, and most times it's because they are wrong.
It's nice to sit and observe their reactions without reacting, but it's always best for you to be responsible and accountable and not fall to their standards.
Have a nice day!

Hello, my beautiful @millycf1976, it's a pleasure to meet you here. It would be great to discuss this whole issue with you personally over a delicious coffee, because I see that you have identified with my lines.

I knew that couple would react, but the level of drama I witnessed was epic, and they tried to make me feel bad or throw mistakes in my face, which we can all eat. The difference is in how much humility one can have in owning up to them.

As you rightly pointed out I will maintain my position because I know I am not wrong and I am not there to please anyone, because then the bosses leave and one is left as an inept or in trouble for saying yes to everything.
