  People can also be confidently wrong.

    It’s my self-admitted worst trait. Not that I’m wrong on purpose or out of malice or anything. But when I think I know the answer, I will often express it as if I know the answer.

    It’s a terrible personality trait and I’ve been trying to work on it by forcing myself to use the words “I think…” before saying anything.

    However…as someone in a leadership role, I also believe that sometimes, when there is no black-or-white answer, it’s more important to be confident than to be right so as to not undermine the teams confidence in your leadership/decision making. Captain Picard taught me that.

      Oh man if I found out my manager had that mentality I’d be second-guessing literally everything they say forever. I would much rather someone say “I don’t know, but that’s a good question. I’ll find out for you” than give me the wrong information confidently.

      I already struggle with respecting authority figures who clearly don’t know what they are doing and thus have no actual basis for their authority, so yeah that’d be a ticking time bomb.

      Please try to move away from doing that. It’s genuinely not great for your reports, only for you to put in less effort.

  I’ve said this so many times. Being a woman in a male dominated field is exhausting.

    Being a younger person (hell, I’m 42 and consider myself young in comparison) in a white old male dominated field is also exhausting. I stopped counting the times I warned my superiors of things that would happen if they don’t do X, and then they happened because why take a younger person seriously?

    Yep or worse outright dangerous

    yeah whatever but i think actually the problem is that a male dominated field can be difficult for women to work in.

  The best half of a business conversation i ever heard was “look, the bottom line is this: give her £100,000 a year, give her a Porsche, give her her own office, give her a secretary, and she’ll bring in more than a million in profit every year.”

  People in public doing “business on their phone” are the worst.

    I mean at an airport it is kind of warranted though. The only other options are to leave and go home and miss the flight (If you’re even near your home at that point), miss the call and put your job on the line, or go to the bathroom I guess but this is still public.

    At least they aren’t doing it on the plane.

      Or, you could just chill and not be available. You’re traveling. If you start doing business at an airport, it’s because you want to be known as the super busy person that does business between Security check-in and boarding. I’ll just listen to some music and chill while waiting to board the plane, thank you very much.

    For those that are Formula 1 fans, this reeks of “Toto, it’s called a motor race, OK? We went car racing.”

    I think, in this case, it’s that this woman was confident and assertive in ways that are usually acceptable for men, but that typically end with a woman being labeled a “removed”. At least that’s how I took it.

  If I was trying to gather US trade secrets, I’d have a few spies on payroll just hanging around airport bars listening in on phone calls.

    A few years ago I was sitting across from a guy at an airport and he was loudly buying skis for his son. Not only did I clearly hear the whole story of how his son just made the ski team and needed skis ASAP, I also heard his full credit card information.
