I'm too nice and dont stand up for myself. I always go out my way to help someone if I know I can help but very rarely get it in return.
This kind of.
I'll always help someone out if they ask, regardless of the impact it might have at home. Often leading to spending less time with the mrs and daughter.
I never ask anyone for help and so I can't say I don't get it in return.
Also, within work, I have been trying to help out a fellow manager who's back is against the wall a little bit due to not delivering expectations, with little to no clerical work in order to back up reasons to his failings. All I get in return for this is to be told to keep my nose out with some barbed jibe or other(in front of his department is some ridiculous attempt to belittle me).
The trouble is, I have known the bloke years, and although he can be a ****, he's OUR ****, if you get my meaning.
I don't want to see him get the sack, but the guy just won't listen.
I take it on the chin, no need to rise to the sad twat, as I am delivering, so I have no need to worry, it just frustrates me that I'm taking my time to help him and he isn't even gracious enough to say thank you.
I know its all a shield and really he is shitting it, but he is too stubborn to accept help.
At least i Can't say I haven't tried.
I need to learn to say no and prioritise MY family before I help someone else's.
