my only motivation to be there is to earn money and my 401k. So many of my coworkers and management feel offended by this statement.

I’m union. Union lawyer thinks this is a management strategy to try to manipulate me.

Cue BS answer for any c-suite that tries making me feel insecure over this:

well, I’m a terrible liar, that’s why I’m asking you :D

the unfriendly party might be easy: I’m always friendly and direct because I want to work. maybe that?

    oh combined together yeah. I usually respond to that feeback with prioritization although then I get that I can’t multitask well enough. You did fine with the three highest priority but what about the other six things.

      I frankly would just say that is the priority you gave them. Change the priority or assign more resouces. You pick. One always has to hold management accountable but it has to be done in a nonconfrontational problem solving way.

        they expected more than that. Im never confrontational but if I get the multitask and the expectations were higher crap.

          At some point you need a different job or just make sure your paid enough to justify the BS.
