babyosisi: Thank you for sharing these words of wisdom. However, I will implore people to learn from this when you are having issues with your bosses, supervisor and even subordinates at work, you can try this approach and I can bet you, you'll become more relaxed and better productive at work. Cheers. 1 Like |

I had to return to conclude this thread.Thanks to all the participants The meeting went beyond my wildest imagination I stepped into my boss' office during our meeting and this was the conversation Boss: first of all I have to apologize for missing the last meeting,I don't want you to think I deliberately didn't show up,I was double booked and my calendar and iPhone didn't synch so I went to the other appointment.... Babyosisi: no problem ,I understand how that can happen,you don't have to apologise for that Boss: oh yes I have to,it's not my nature to miss an appointment and also I apologise for this whole thing,this has been nothing but a huge misunderstanding that started and snowballed,I appreciate you,I appreciate all you do,of all the people here,your schedule is the most inconsistent and you have never complained about it but do exactly as I ask and I am happy with what you do .every other person with your schedule has complained and had to be changed. If It appears to you I seem not to appreciate what you do,I am sorry,I am not perfect.i know I have to get better at conveying that. At this point I am sitting beside myself asking myself if I was asleep or awake and also feeling bad now ,this is a man that I haven't even spoken to this year due to his avoiding me. Then I responded Babyosisi:i also have to apologize to you that I went over your head to bring a report Then he cuts in Boss no no no,you don't have to,you did what you had to do because you felt you were not being heard.you know what,from now on I will make you a promise ,when and if I hear anything said to me about you,I will make sure to ask you to hear your own side of the story. I want us to put all this past happening behind us and from this day forward we start a new chapter forgetting everything that happened in the past. OMG I couldn't believe my ears Jesus o bu otua k'idi? My respect for my boss grew instantaneously and he felt like a mighty mighty giant before me I could have never imagined this will end in this fantastic manner. We continued and talked about work,my publications,he said he sees no reason why I wouldn't be promoted in record time,he congratulated me on my paper that was published this week which he is a co author. We talked of my future plans,a new elective course I am co directing. I walked out of his office stepped into mine and said Jesus is indeed Lord and the scripture that came to me was [size=18pt]When a man's way pleases The Lord ,he makes even his enemy to be at peace with him [/size] What I must add was that I had fasted and prayed at various times for this and friends were also praying and God superseded all my expectations I hope this story will encourage someone. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

I'm glad this all worked out well. But a word of caution: you had the stronger position and he had much more to lose if he had gone in there guns blazing (I'm sure conversations happened behind your back with your boss and his superiors concerning this matter). So smile, be polite and diplomatic but don't relax just yet. Do your job, well, continue to work hard and pray and be careful of misstepping. BTW, my hubby too is a PhD from an ivy league (differenct continent and he had his share of weirdness however I suspect his group was more diverse) and I ran from the US. We are thinking of heading back there, it would be nice to speak privately. 3 Likes |

Our God is too much! He never sleeps nor slumbers, always watching over His own. OP, always remember to be as wise as a serpent whilst being as gentle as a dove... I am also an academic though in the legal field, fairly new and still growing so I understand what it means to be on one's toes professionally. Wish u the best! |
