My Empathy

I received my Chair evaluations, and at first I was happy but then I saw that one of the anonymous colleagues referred to me as “the most empathetic, kind person I’ve ever met.”

As far as I know, none of my colleagues have recently been discharged from the Wagner Group, so there’s no reason for them to see me as a paragon of empathy. I’m now starting to suspect the colleague was taking the piss.

  1. “I’m now starting to suspect the colleague was taking the piss.”

    Nah, you probably led (or misled) somebody into thinking that you actually are such a person. You inadvertently said a kind word to a colleague who really needed some emotional support at that moment, and — they took you seriously and remember it.
