Would appreciate your thoughts on this please Wise People...
How do you manage to remain calm and composed when being questioned about your work by management? When I say questioned, I mean a barrage of questions, one after the other, without being given the chance to answer each one before another one is fired at you?
I found myself in this situation last week, and in the end I just sat back and said "I feel like I'm being battered here" which sort of calmed things down.
At this point you are probably thinking (as was I ) that I must be doing a crap job. However later on I had a message from said manager to say I'm doing a really good job and not to be disheartened, they were just trying to help.
So... have you ever found yourself in this situation? How would you remain calm and composed, even when you feel you are being 'got at'? My immediate reaction is to go into defensive mode.
And just as importantly, any ideas how to repair the relationship after my reaction?
Many thanks
