Definition of ‘Career Limiting Move’
Hitting reply to all on an email from a very senior executive who arrogantly and erroneously put words into your mouth, responding with ”Fuck you.”, and hitting the send button.
Do you double-dog dare me??
Sorry boss sucks. Hey, sign your name with your blog address, put “dooce me” in the subject header, and wait for the publicity to roll in.
Oh, it’s not my boss - he’s awesome. In fact, he was copied in and I was half waiting for him to come up with a good way to say “fuck you” to the man on my behalf. LOL
:^) Sorry for the misreading - glad at least you have a good boss on your side.
NO WAY! I am breaking out into a sweat just reading it!
Double dog dare you
put some nice words before and after it - you know diplomacy and all that. Thanks for the email, I wanted to follow up with one final addition - FUCK YOU. very best…..
Hi Linda.
It’s me… Russ. Remember???
Do you miss me???
And for the record… Do it. And call him a Douchebag for using that kind of language on the company pipeline.
Oh yeah, assign him some additional TPS reporting.
Russ and Amy both coming back to me in the same week! How exciting!
So you all know what a wuss I am, my reply was along the lines of “Gosh, if you got that impression from what I wrote, it must be my poor communication skills. That’s not what I meant at all.” I’m a wuss. A diplomatic wuss. A primary bread-winning diplomatic wuss.
Hi, Linda. I”m not really responding to this blog entry but I didn’t know how else to get a hold of you. I’m Julie Donato’s friend in Columbus. We are throwing a baby shower for her on 4/19. Of course, she didn’t want to invite all of you (and make you feel any obligation to come) but I wanted to let you know in the case that maybe you and some of your other friends (from your boards) might want to send a note, a card or a gift (if you want). I know that she would be surprised and really tickled by it.
You guys really mean a lot to her so I thought that I would throw this out there. You can reach me at the above email address and, if you want to send something, or organize something with the other ladies, I can get you my home address (where the shower will be held).
Thanks! BTW, I’m a huge fan of your blog and check it regularly. You are quite the writer and I can see why Julie speaks so highly of you.
Take care!
