If someone at work tries to micromanage you, micromanage them back.
Send them too much feedback, ask them a lot of questions, do follow ups when they go quiet or even when you know they are busy don’t let them rest.
& this is a recurring pattern btw before I even open my mouth, it’s ’you’re so proud’ ‘what are you trying to prove’ so pls if your existence is paining anyone, find a way to make it pain then even more
remembering how I used to reiterate how much I’m struggling in this country to someone bc she started to give me these vibes.
when she began telling people she was introducing me to that I’m always flying bus before I’ve even said hi, nobody told me to compose.
the phrase "lipstick on a pig" has always inspired a deep sadness in me. I think of the pig, looking forward to her big night out, and I bring myself to the verge of tears.
