Part of the reason I'm questioning myself is that I work in the Development Department of my University.
The people I work with go out and solicit money on behalf of the University.
In my department specifically, our people are asking for a minimum of $25,000.
That's a lot of money to be asking for. That's a year's salary for me.
So, I know my people have to be really good at 'wooing' prospective donors.
And my boss, G, before he became Interim Director for our department, worked solely with the President and his prospects. Those are the top 100 prospects. I have no idea how much money we are talking, but I know it's most likely at least a million.
So, he has to be good at dealing with people.
So, I question myself, wondering is he treating me the way he would treat a prospective donor?
Are his comments really innocent?
Being new to this job, is he just unsure how to behave? He's never had subordinate before.
Or is he so full of himself that he thinks any female would swoon at his attention?
I don't know.
But I'm definately going to continue to keep that professional wall between us.
Again, thank you for reading and responding...it really makes me feel better.
