No. I will not be bullied.
No. I will not be manhandled.
No. I will not be manipulated.
No. I will not be treated like trash until YOU need something from me. I reject that behavior.
No. I will not be the "toy" YOU decide to pick up and put down, whenev7er its convenient for you. I reject that interaction.
No. I will not respond when YOU decide that this day, is the day, you want to talk AT me. About yourself. I reject that conversation.
No. I will not treat YOU respectfully, when you passively/aggressively disrespect ME throughout the week. I reject those micro-aggressions.
No. I will not let YOUR behaviour dictate what MY behavior will be. I reject that logic.
No. I am not a plant. Or a pet. Or an inanimate object you can pretend is not there. Yes, I am here. Namaste.
No. I am am not a counselor. Or an therapist. Or a psychologist. Or psychiatrist. I am not here for you to vent your every negative thought. I reject that discussion.
Frankly, I am not here for you. At all. I am not your friend or assistant. I am not your sister or brother. I am not your husband or wife. I am not your family. I am an employee. You are an employee. We are co-workers. We work for the same organization. I reject the burden of your insecurities, issues, undiagnosed mental health challenges and incorrect perceptions about me.
The only thing I am obligated to provide to you, as a co-worker, is polite professionalism and productivity, directly related to my own workload.
Remember this.
