Your feedback matters

This week Miserable Middle Manager had a few questions and comments from fellow readers, I picked a few that I though were interesting :

Question from Barbara Colmarbreast from France :

If I am a woman and my OBF is a woman, does it mean that I may be a lesbian?

Barbara, having someone you admire and trust in your company doesn’t have anything to do with sex, so don’t worry about your sexual orientation at this stage. Try to develop and capitalize on this relationship, use your OGF as a mentor and model, and ask her for advice and feedback if you can.

Comment from Irina Benlili from Canada :

Like you Miserable, I have had an interview for a company whose office was only accessible by car and located by a motorway. I had no car and the hiring manager told me to come by train and bus. I took the bus but ended up on the other side of the motorway, unable to cross. Exhausted and late, I took courage,  called the hiring manager and asked them to send a cab. Which they did! It was a matter of life and death, and I got through the second interview!

All I would say is bravo Irina, having your hiring manager do stuff for you although you haven't even been interviewed you is a massive challenge, but you nailed it. 

I also received an anonymous hate mail, possibly from an ex employer :

Middle M,

What’s wrong with shoving a huge amount of crisps in your mouth during team meetings? You f*** anorexic b***, if you wore skirts and deep V dress more often, you would be a bigger fish, not some king of controlling mediocer human being!

BTW, remember the big spread shits I used to make you do for the Friday management report? I never used read them, because there was no Friday management report! I made it up to f*** your head up!
