I got in a bit of an altercation with a co-worker today, and I'm afraid it may lead to me losing my job. It started with a misunderstanding,and when they didn't want to simply accept that it was a misunderstanding after I apologized, I decided to simply defend myself and there was a verbal back-and-forth witnessed by a few people. This is not the image I wanted to have at my job...
Sometimes you gotta stand up for yourself.
Yeah. I didn't want to seem like a whiny brat, but I didn't want to seem like a pushover either, especially when I thought it was stupid to fight about it to begin with. If I lose my job, it won't be the worst thing, since it's just a part-time job to get me through college. But I still hate the feeling that I let people down, or that I look dumb in other people's eyes.
If they know you, they should know better.
