To think my colleague was rude

[Rud]

I had to handover a piece of work to a colleague today so I put in a 15 minute Teams meeting at her request. It was a simple handover that I could have done over a Teams message, but she wanted a meeting which is fair enough.

I started the meeting and made a bit of small talk, just asking how she was as I don't speak to her much as we work on different accounts. She then said ‘I’ve got another meeting in 15 minutes so can you just get on with it’. I also had another call in 15 minutes so obviously wasn’t going to make the meeting run over.

I’m not chatty or outgoing, and hate unnecessary small talk, but this was literally a polite ‘hi, how are you?’

This colleague is really confident and outgoing and everyone really likes them, whereas I’m very quiet and reserved, and I feel like because of that she doesn’t respect me.

Aibu to think she was rude? Or was she just wanting to hurry things along

YANBU she was incredibly rude

That was very rude of her.

Oh for fucks sake more troll posts.

Yep rude.

She was rude

This definitely is not my colleague as they aren’t on annual leave?

@Crab99 are you sure it was you, the OP says she was handing work over, why would she hand work over to someone going on annual leave?

🙄

@Crab99 Nobody believes you. OP, don't worry. Your colleague was rude

Oh bore off, it's not even remotely amusing

but apparently you were the one who requested the meeting and the OP was happy to do it by teams message so maybe you should have said told them what you needed!

This thread is batshit.

OP it sounds like your colleague was rude. However if you can build up a resilience to these types of interactions and not let them get to you then your life will be a lot easier and happier.

@Rudf have you changed your name mid thread?

@Crab99 perhaps the more professional way to approach this, if you believe you are the colleague, would be to privately message the OP and resolve it that way.
