Reply #88: I am not an employer but a "wage slave," and I ALSO don't want every person [View All]

I have an encounter with to unload all their personal baggage on me. That doesn't mean I expect anyone to "kiss my ass," but that I have my own life, my own problems, and my own people whose lives I AM interested in hearing all about.

We all have our own problems, and the world doesn't revolve around any one of us, so it is absurd to expect strangers to want to hear your life story, regardless of the situation.

A young friend of mine was recently promoted to a managerial position with a very humane, family-owned national company. While she was interviewing for an office assistant, she was shocked at how few people thought it was important to show up on time, dress neatly, or behave professionally during the interview.

It is ridiculous to be infuriated by the very idea that someone applying for a job should behave as though he or she is applying for a job rather than visiting a therapist!
