Um yeah....mortifying business moment as predicted
Today was my big presentation and as the room filled and got quiet, one client asked loudly if my name changed and before I could answer another said "yes she got married isnt that exciting?" I just shrugged because the whole room was listening. Then another one said "at least you havent killed each other yet!"
Mortifying! I just started my presentation and didnt say anything. I know it was semi deceiving but I didnt want to make the announcement in a large room at the begininning of my presentation.
AHHHH. I need a drink!
Re: Um yeah....mortifying business moment as predicted
I am sorry.... that sucks and is really weird!
OMG! What is wrong with people! Seriously that's so awkward and because they are clients you don't want to embarrass them.
I think at this point, I might take that person aside or next time I talk to them say, "Oh hey by the way, and I don't want to make a big deal about this, but I'm actually not married." and just leave it at that.
I would have loved to call them out too, but I understand sometimes you're startled and can't.
Can you go to the person who said that and explain that no, you didn't, you got divorced, just to at least start setting the record straight?
When I got divorced and my name changed on my work emails, someone excitedly asked if I got married, I just said, nope, divorced! But I was super happy about it.
Oh normally I would. I already one ask me in private about it and I told her exactly that "well I got divorced and Im really happy". That client was cool about it and was like oh well youre smiling so you must be ok with it.
This was just different because it was a large group including a Board of Directors of a company. I did see a few women glance at my ring finger though and nothings there
