Poll of the Day > Somebody said something to me at work so i've been thinking...

(+) Yeah! (+)

So a few weeks ago I told somebody at work I thought that I worked the hardest at work. I explained why I felt that way to them and didn't think anything of it. However, now that I've been thinking because of what i'll explain below, that sounds to me like I came off as a douche.

So today another coworker mentioned the fact I said that, which took me by surprise because I never said it to them. Anyways it was like a 30 second conversation and I didn't explain myself properly. Regardless of my reasoning(which I feel is valid to a degree), I feel like if this gets brought up again I should explain myself but also mention what a shitty thing it was for me to say. But I don't feel like I need to clarify or bring it up sgain on my own, but if I am confronted again I will actually take time to explain myself, and apologize because it was stupid of me to say that.

However, what I can do is actually work harder. Not in a competitive way. I just want to grow as an employee and not do it for any reason other than being a good person and self growth. If somebody takes issue with the fact I said what I said, it only serves me right to step it up on my end and factually do more things at work.

This possible blunder will make me a better employee.
