There’s no need to act bossy just because you are a boss.
Sometimes when family members work together, they can get confused. And that confusion may even involve people who aren’t even a part of the family. Like in the story below, where what seems to have happened is a boss mom confusing her position as a boss with her role as a mother. The person involved in this story isn’t related to her boss at all, but her superior is, in fact, the mother of one of her coworkers, and that can be confusing for the whole office. This story may be perceived as one of the times that kind of confusion occurred.
This assistant was just doing her job as always, answering the phone and taking notes about a client, but at the same time, she was showing a new intern how to do exactly that, leading by example. When all of a sudden, her boss interrupted her phone call to demand that she hand the phone to the new employee. She, at first, explained that she was taking notes on the client, as asked, so she needed to finish the call before delegating that task. That wasn’t a good answer according to her superior, so an argument arose. After a while, she just complied. There was no reason to continue an argument she wasn’t going to win.
After the incident, things got weird in the workspace. This user was told that a volunteering event was going to happen in a couple of months, but then it got moved. Nobody really told her, but she heard some coworkers discussing it. On the new date of the event, a Saturday, she received a message asking if she was coming. Not only did everyone know except for her, but she also realized that day that the job was no longer a good fit for her. That incident ended up being more memorable than it should have been, and it proved that she needed to get out. Luckily, she’s currently looking for a new job that actually fits her standards. So good luck to her!
