[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 299727"] I'm so sorry. I think you were doing okay, but then it concerns me that they corrected you about the pronunciation of the guys name in the middle of all the discussion of THEIR insensitivities of late regarding the very topic. When they mentioned that last "correction," how did they do it? Were they polite or something else? My guess is that much of what you are saying is going right over their heads. Is there at least one person in the office who is bright and sensitive? You might get this person to be your ally. In the My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the wife says that the husband might be the head of the household, but the wife is the NECK. My guess is that is the situation in that office. They might be the figure heads, but you are the real stuff that hold them up. Rent My Big Fat Greek WEdding. The Greek women "fool" the men into thinking they are making the decisions. Sooo....since you are outnumered, one thought I had, was to allow them to think that they know what they are doing. Pick and chose your criticisms. Critize with-o them even knowing they've been critized. They will sing your praises. [/QUOTE]
