A Mean Comment
It's Friday - a day everyone in the team detest so much. Some of my teammates have been telling me they're losing sleep over the fact that today is the day they'd need to give their status to our boss. Not a pretty picture!
To make the story short, we got through the hour that didn't end up as bloody as last week's. Before the meeting came to an end, our boss made a comment that she's been working for the past couple of weekends doing some administrative stuff. I made a snide comment "so what's your status?". I know, cruel huh?! Jokingly, she asked why we're being mean to her, and that we'd actually miss her when she's gone. I regretted having said anything after that.
I'm a very polite person - thanks to my parents who raised me well. No matter how tough my boss had been to us these past few weeks, she doesn't deserve a sarcastic comment like that. I felt guilty, and I wanted to say sorry. Fortunately, when I talked to her in the afternoon (to review the report), she was cordial about it as if nothing happened - thank God!
What can I say - I'm truly very sorry E! I promise to bite my tongue next time.
