I had an interesting conversation with a colleague today, about saying "sorry" - for our behavior, and they disagreed with me, or at least partially. The setup was because I didn't apologize to another colleague for my behavior in a meeting, even though they thought I should in order to facilitate the discussion further.
Well, in this case (and according what you've said in the quote) looks like they were more than one the colleagues in disagreement with your own perception of the situation, your own opinion on the matter, your own belief system and your authentic self. Isn't it? };)
Yes, since there were two people I mentioned. What about it?
Not to please people - but if you are not happy with the results you get, it is worth reviewing your own process. People could accept you as you, and still ignore everything you ever say.
When people are incessantly talking negatively about the system they choose to operate with, I think that qualifies as complaint. When it all stems around a result that they are not themselves getting, I think they are not happy with their results. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist.
This is not true at all. Many people can raise awareness on even some very topical issues, and still not be ignored.
No one should - but people should still consider their process, if they are not getting the results they want. But hey, some people just love to complain, but not actually look toward themselves to see if change might be useful. People are stubborn to the point they victimize themselves.
