I know this woman who pulls this stunt at business meetings: she stays seated and talks real soft so that people have to lean over or kneel at her side so that they can hear what she says.
It’s a stupid trick and people fall for it all the time.
I stand a few feet away so that she has
to look up when she talks to me.
She hates my guts.
I think that’s a good thing in this case.

well done. My boss likes to ignore you, and then blame you because he didn’t here what you said. He looks up at you real intently, and says “speak up or get out of my office.”
I turn and leave. Not my company.
You know, in some cases ( like ours ) actions speak much louder then words.
Which is funny I would resort to that because I’m a writer.

as writers go I’m not so much, but as head strong not willing to play your game by your rules types go…i’m a champ.
like your writing
As a writer I like what you do too- you get your point across, you obviously care about the topics you cover and you’re not trying to impress anybody with ‘spin’.
I like that.
It’s honest.

I have someone at work who doesthat. I just say real loud for the whole office to hear: “Speak up, _____, I can’t hear what you’re saying.” P.O’s her each time. Still can’t figure out why she does that in the first place. A power/control reason?
Hi Lori,
That’s exactly why she does it- you know what really ticks these guys off?
Looking them in the eye.
Weird.
