Don't take it personally

[DapperDanMan]

don't take it personally?

Don't cower and don't cave, dog. You give 'em hell before you do!

Quick question.

When someone says or does something and say don't take it personally doesn't that actually mean that it's already a personal? Why would you say it don't take it personally?

on a level, they find what they are going to utter/do offensive, -and are softening the ground for any potential retort/PK ...

 

[Neptuner]

That is what I thought. I'm doing the most instead people nitpick on irrelevant stuff and now I'm getting micromanaged to the point where I need to ask permission before sending an email and then my colleagues say don't take it personally yet the people that are actually super incompetent because they do absolutely nothing are cruising along nicely.

If I have to hear one more time don't take it personally or get emotional, I will snap.

Micromanaged on an email?

Why would they even do such a thing, something is missing to this story.

Is the same as taking posts personally? I've seem to done myself up with another shadow.

If it's a work colleague

trick is to get your mindset to the point of understanding, others utterances, are their perception of things/life...and their internal battles has nothing to do with you....does not mean you bend over, if need respond, but dont get trigger to a reaction....people constantly tell you exactly what sort of madness is going on within themselves, just a bit of awareness...

I don't think that is the point. It is his useless colleagues that tells him not to take it personally when they have the brains of pigeons. Sure, maybe there is a valid reason for the micromanagement from his superiors, and maybe he can work on his communication skills, but having your lower incompetent minions tell you not to take it personally is annoying.

His useless colleagues? Based on what? His say so?

And now the useless colleagues are lower incompetent minions

It's like you're making this up as you go along

Don't take this personally, but I didn't know you were one of his colleagues.

 

[ShaunSA]

Was it followed by some constructive criticism that you could actually work on/with or something you can't really change?

I see this one went unanswered

Might work on the OP

Bro, don't get emotional. Logic beats emotion everyday. Sorry you are in this situation.

"please don't take this personally" seldom follows with any constructive advice, specially if it comes from a nobody minion.

Oh, I forgot to say "please".

Darn it!

What I have noticed about OP is that he doesn’t behave like a soulless corporate drone when dealing with clients here at MyBB. He actually has a personality and a mind of his own and that is freaking amazing.

That said, there is a reason companies expect you to conform and stick to the script - you can be a liability to them otherwise. So while I’d hate to see this dog muzzled / leashed , I get why there may be some attempts to do it.

Gian must just know that if that happens, I am switching to Cool Ideas.

Please don't take this personally. But you sound like a nobody minion

I employ nobody minions.

And now we're actually getting to why his colleagues are doing this. It sounds like they have no issues with him "personally" and he's a nice dude. But work is work and that's what they're all there to do

I doubt they guessed being polite would get them branded as nobody minions on MyBB
