user Reddit with the nickname TrinitySignal complained about her colleagues constantly forgetting her name even though the two women had worked side by side for more than a year. The author notes that she came up with an elegant way to take revenge on a friend.
According to the woman, another employee intentionally forgot her name. “This only happened in meetings when others were watching me, and always right after I said something. If I expressed an idea, she would repeat it and then call me “sweetie” or “girly” as if we were having brunch and not at work. Every time this happened, I felt insignificant,” the author admits.
Asking the individual to stop doing this had no effect, and the final straw was a meeting for which the author's colleague had prepared especially diligently, as it was attended by company executives and she herself planned to apply for a promotion in the future. TrinitySignal initially had no intention of taking revenge on her friend, but after the author reported, she asked her what her name was.
“I smiled back and calmly said, 'Like the last 20 times. I'm surprised that you remember the names of all the men in this room, but you don't remember mine.' The room was dead silent. Her smile froze on her face. The director looked at her with an indifferent expression and said: “Yeah, it doesn't look good.” She started stumbling when talking about her problem and was overwhelmed, but everyone understood. After that, she said almost nothing,” the author wrote.
After the meeting, a colleague pinned the author against the coffee maker and hissed that she had humiliated her. The woman replied: “That's great. Now stop.” Since then, her name has never been forgotten.
Previously, another Reddit user talked about how embarrassed she was in front of her colleagues during a video conference. After greeting other employees, including her manager, she decided to turn off the microphone.
