That “being liked v being respected” topic is something I’m struggling with at the moment. How do I get a colleague who is approximately my age, but does not have my qualifications (or job title), to accept work from me graciously, or at the very least, stop with snarky comments? I want to be liked, but it is more important to me that I feel respected in the workplace, and that stupid amounts of time aren’t wasted on interpreting snarky emails, etc.
Kat – none of the comments are going through. I was stuck in moderation and my comment just never appeared.
