I have to rant on here as I would love to do so on facefook but i'll get in trouble with some of my 'friends'.

So here goes. At the weekend I was belittled for my job by someone full of self importance. This said person is a teacher and stated that they were more important than me. Sorry, but in my opinion all jobs need doing, and although you might get paid more, get more time off, have to study longer blah blah blah you are not more worthy than a trucker, a cleaner, a hairdresser or a chef, whatever!

You may perceive yourself as more valuable, but each and every individual who works is valuable! And even those who don't. Rant over, thanks for youur time.

Great shout

Self importance is something I'm not very good at (one of the reasons I'm not great at profiles) nor the people I tend to surround myself around, it's something I get annoyed with myself at times. The art of self promotion rules at times

I always told my kids that all work is honourable. It is amusing to see how differently people treat you just because the job they think you do.

If they said it here you would block them.

What's wrong with doing that to them on boat book?

Each individual ( whether working or not ) is important.

It's just that some ARE more important than others

why would you let it bother you if you truly believe all jobs are equal...

Agreed. I lost count of the number of times I was belittled or insulted while working behind a bar, purely for the work I was doing.

Usually people who are like this are very insecure. If you have genuine confidence in yourself you have no need to put others down.

No matter what level role, there are ways to assert power back and the easiest is usually through your own personality.

Every job is important to the community, no matter what it is. I work with the general public too. Most are good, but the snooty or ill-temper ones, I kill with kindness.

Try not to let it bother you - I know it's easier said than done, but having a good rant, does get it out of your system.

I like this...sometimes the perception is that having confidence means you have to shout about yourself, what your doing...it's a big old rat race if that's the case.

They didn't say it on facefook they said it in 'the real world'

I chose to rise above it, despite it winding me right up!
