Hello! I just need a little help here. I need to figure out if it is just me stuff because of my past history with my abusive father or if there are just a lot of men that are assholes.
I started a new job back in September. September 24 to be exact. Now shortly after I started the job Mercury went Retrograde and that always messes with me.
Down to why I am writing here. I called a potential client, I am selling health and life insurance, for follow up. The client happens to be a man but I am not mad at him. I am mad at my boss. The client said that he had been trying to call me for several days and made multiple attempts but my phone never went to voicemail. In the meantime his phone number never showed up on my phone as a missed call. I don't know what the deal was with that. I don't know if he was just dialing the wrong number or what. All my other calls came through as missed calls if I didn't answer them. Even the debt collectors LOL.
Sorry, I got on a rant and totally went off base of why I am here. What pissed me off was that when I called the client to do the follow up he told me he stopped by the office and met with my Unit Manager, who is a man. The last couple of weeks my UM and I have been a bit crosswise. What I didn't get is why the UM didn't call me to let me know what the client had said happened or even let me know that he was working with the client. Why didn't he call me, text me whatever to let me know that my client had come in to the office and he had been dealing with him.
Now I've never been in a supervisory position so I am not sure how all that goes with protocol and stuff like that. I know it is important when a issue comes up that as a supervisor the supervisors first objective is to solve the problem and make the customer/client happy. That is all well and good, but why not contact me and let me know that there was a problem? That's what I don't get. Do I not have the right to know if something has happened? This is where I am coming up the the Men Issues as I stated in the title of this blog.
I know I have a problem with men in authority over me. While I was at T-Mobile I thought I had seemed to start getting past that but now with this situation and this company I'm back to "I hate men in authority over me."
Feedback from men and women would be appreciated if you have any. I got to try and get a grip and figure out if it is all just me overreacting or if I have a valid point and the right to be irritated with the man in authority in this situation.
Thanks,
Shalai
