F2F Class Notes (JJ)

Revised homework:

When was the last time you resolved a work conflict?

I don’t have a deep memory of the last time I encountered a work conflict. I am a person who cares about professional relationships and I put aside any personal feelings I might have towards someone. So if I have a conflict with others, I will not take it to heart/I will not take it personal. When it is solved, I would forget about it.

Last time I had a conflict with my colleague was because she made a mistake but she didn’t admit it. I think it’s normal because people want to protect themselves. So they try to hide their fault. But don’t assume/take any responsibilities. I hate when people do that. When she tried to blame others , I said it was unreasonable and then she became very angry. For me, I could accept that she was covering her mistakes but I couldn’t accept that she tried to blame it on others.

Then we had a conflict with each other. But after that thing, I can still discuss work related matters with her peacefully. I also forgot the details of the matter.
