W called and it was about scheduling stuff for the kids, but really it was to vent about work. I'm still her go-to person for that.
She's a supervisor for an insurance company. She oversees customer service reps. Apparently a bunch of them have been falsifying customer surveys -- which is a part of their raises.
One of them, when confronted, did what a lot of us might do. "Well, (my boss) was aware I was doing it this way."
So W spent an hour being interrogated by corporate people and was left for 20 minutes alone when it was over while they decided what to do.
So she's freaked. Again, her job is of paramount importance to her. If she lost that job she'd break into a million pieces. I listened, validated her feelings, reassured her that she'd be OK. DB coach Dottie would be proud.
OK. Here's where I'm asking for advice. In the past, to make her feel good after an especially tough day -- especially after being passed over for promotions -- I'd go get flowers and drop them off with a card at work so others could see them. She always appreciated them in the past. It was one of the few thank you calls I'd ever get.
Do I do that this time or by not buying them she may realize that she doesn't have me at home to make her feel better when she has a bad day?
I'm looking for input from the ladies out there.
