December 21, 2006Ask Her to Call Me Directly
Perhaps it was the cocktails that caused Martee to be rude and inappropriate with Liz during happy hour after work. She seemed to be baiting her with jabs and digs but Liz refused to take the bait. When Martee said, “Go ahead, stand up for yourself,” Liz left with the words, “There’s no point arguing with you tonight. It would only make things worse.”
The next day, Martee asked her coworkers to get things from Liz that she normally got herself. It struck Liz as childish for them to use their coworkers to avoid facing each other, so she told the coworkers,
- Ask Martee to call me directly for that. I’ll be happy to get it for her once I hear from her.
Martee made the call and included an (admittedly vague, face-saving) apology for her words the night before. They got back on a professional footing with each other.
