Thank god for long weekends

I think everyone works with someone like this. . . . . . . this person isn't really my supervisor, but higher up in the pecking order than I am. For the sake of argument in this blog I am going to refer to this person as "she", but it could be a "he". She hasn't been at the bank much longer than I have. Actually, if you count the years I was at TCF before we were purchased by FNB, I have been there quite a bit longer than she has. I guess this person just knew who to shmooooz and how to do it, to get to the position where she is at. I don't really know how she got to where she is. I do have a great deal of contact with this person though and I try very hard to smile and be very cooperative with this person. After all, she is higher up than I am and I don't want anyone to say I am insubordinate or can't get along at work or anything. I am the kind of person who just wants to get along with everyone. I hate conflict and I really can't handle those people who think they have to put everyone else down and show their power or influence or whatever. I guess putting other people down makes them feel better. Anyway, this week I had more contact with her than usual. She always says things like "let me put this in words you would understand", or something similar to make you feel like she is talking down to you. I am not the only one she treats this way. She treats anyone with a "lower" position this way. In fact may people have quit because of her. I guess because I had more contact with her than usual this week, it made me feel worse than usual. One day I got home from work and just cried. I just couldn't take it anymore. I guess it is a good thing that we have a long weekend. I need to recharge. It will be a weekend or fun, family, friends and food. Ahhhhhh :)
