My boss made a comment at work today and I can’t work out if I’m overreacting.
We were having a fairly normal conversation when, out of nowhere, he called me an elephant. I must have looked a bit taken aback because he quickly tried to laugh it off and said something along the lines of, “Oh, but elephants are the most intelligent creatures in the animal kingdom, they’re emotionally intelligent etc.”
A colleague who was there quickly changed the subject, and I just sort of let it go in the moment.
But the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel. I’m struggling to see how comparing me to an elephant in front of colleagues is appropriate.
AIBU to be annoyed by this?
