Supposing that you had recently applied and been interviewed for a promotion at your job, which would be the WORSE to find out you didn't get it?

A: The boss makes a general announcement to everyone naming the person who was promoted, who is not you, or

B. You get up (on a day you are not working until the evening) to find an email from the boss's secretary, stating that he would like to schedule a Zoom call with you today to to "discuss your application." You then rearrange your remaining pre-work hours around this meeting, such that you cannot do anything else you might have planned to do with that time. When you arrive at the meeting, the boss explains that he wanted to tell you face-to-face that they went with someone else, rather than subject you to Scenario A.

(Just to further develop this hypothetical, the interview was with a committee, who would be providing a recommendation to the boss. They mentioned during the interview that he might decide to talk to the finalists before making the decision.)

(If you're wondering why "finding out via an email, voicemail, or form letter" is not one of the options, your guess is as good as mine.)

My work: You may not use your computer for personal work.

Unwritten Rules at Work

Photo by Aaron Burden Since birth, we have been guided by a set of social norms. Which effectively are unwritten rules that we live by. These unwritten rules guide how we live and determine how people react to us. In times gone by, most of these rules were called “good manners”. These would guide the behaviour of a lady or a gentleman. Unfortunately, some of these rules are no longer…

How to Interrupt politely? If you are ever in a situation where you are in a group of people and you notice someone trying to get into the conversation, do your best to include them with your body language, eye contact, and a head nod. It is elegant and kind to be inclusive.

Old or young, I have never been "in touch" with anything trendy (or even not-so-trendy) in my life.

And I admit that I am both old and rather set in my ways. (Old, of course, is relative. Relative to what I've been hearing about the correct age to be on Tumblr, I am old.) It would never occur to me that one thing that I was taught as a bright young thing would ever change.

I'm at work today. Corporate setting.

I just went to use the bathroom.

Explain to me how mores have changed enough that it is acceptable to hold a phone conversation in a stall of a public restroom of an office work setting.

(We have a variety of meeting rooms which, on Mondays, are generally empty. Go hold your fucking conversation there, Ethel! I'm trying to take a dump here.)

And I get, a part of my irritation is that I really would prefer to use the restroom without anyone else in there. That's a me thing, and I understand that. Still, I maintain that a bathroom stall is not interchangeable with a fucking office, a fucking meeting room or a motherfucking telephone booth. Fuck, take a fucking walk outside if what you have to say on the phone is so god damn sensitive that you can't hold this conversation at your fucking desk.

(Also on me is my assumption that the person holding office hours in the bathroom stall is irritated that I flushed the toilet while they were chatting on the phone. (Gross, right? A toilet flushing in the background isn't something anyone wants to hear while on a telephone call, right? Am I crazy to think that?) My assuming that the person is irritated with me (a common worry that I am working on) for me just living my life is something I do own.))

being full of extreme emotions 24/7 does NOT make you good at expressing emotions, especially when it's sanitized, socially-ordained sentiment demanded by professional etiquette. in fact, being super upfront and genuine about my emotions makes this faux behaviour MORE excruciating, imho

source: i am consistently the most emotional person on the face of the earth, but am experiencing The Agonies trying to write thank you cards for my second-last day at work

#like it's fine. i can do it. i'll live #i UNDERSTAND why we have professional etiquette and social scripts like #I GET IT #i just think that in many (not all but many) they are very stupid!! and i am bad at them!!#it feels like LYING and i CANT LIE IT MAKES ME FEEL SICK #like i am expressing emotions which i am not experiencing!! which is rare #i express my silly extreme emotions 24/7 but now???#WORKPLACE EMOTIONS??? IN FANCY NICE CARDS????#insane. idk man #i think it is part i am very awkward and socially bad thing. do not like proscribed social scripts and all that #and it's part a class thing?? like. grow up poor working class #my idea of a thank u is like. i bake cookies. i bring lasagne. idk man #CARDS??? STATIONERY???#it's like. we are running on social scripts i dont understand and was never taught #and therefore hard to follow #GOOGLE. MY BESTIE. HOW DO I WRITE A XYZ #just trying not to like. socially blunder yknow #i KNOW ppl find my awkward genuineness endearing in a pitiful child charming way #but I AM TRYING TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS A PROFESSIONAL #bc im GOOD AT MY JOB. I LIKE MY FIELD. i just ALSO happen to be v emotional and silly #these are not mutually exclusive ok #the duality of fran

Hi, I grew up in a UK working class background and have just started working in academia which is predominantly middle class. I recently went to a conference and during the day when it was all work talk I had no issues fitting in and have a number of people who wish to collaborate with me due to my unusual skill set.

However in the evenings when we went for dinners/drinks I felt out of place as conversation topics were more general. I know that I need to become more well versed in politics and history, but I was wondering if you could recommend any other topics I should start learning about to make conversations at these events easier?

Hi love. I'm not from the U.K. but have some friends from university/clients/special friends who live or have lived in London, and it seems like these hobbies & subject matters tend to be of interest:

The art market & general art knowledge/art history

Tennis/Football/Rugby/Polo/Cricket/Equestrian sports

Knowledge of social clubs, restaurants, museums, where to shop, etc.

Significant or trending books, social media trends

Best places for traveling during different times of the year, hot spots in these destinations, general cultural knowledge of these areas

Buzzy television shows, movies, celebrities, media events, etc.

General understanding of the real estate market/social climates of different regions and their social scene groups

Anyone from the U.K. in this community, please feel free to add anything or correct any of my outsider observations.

Hope this helps xx

July 25, 1922 Everett True by A.D. Condo

[ID: Everett sits at his roll-top work desk, turned around in his seat to glare at a co-worker off-panel to the right. /end] Everett: Have you found that missing memorandum of yours in the Johnson account? Coworker: Why, no. Not yet.

[ID: Everett tosses a hardback book at the back of the man's head. We see him stood at a podium, reading a newspaper with the boldfaced headline GREAT MURDER MYSTERY! /end] Everett: Better clear that up before looking into any more MYSTERIES!!!
