I am no longer stunned by using people... pretty used to it... but now, I am taken aback at how people just - take take take. It has really gotten bad. I do feel like people flat out don't want to hear me speak.
My boss even has a super bad habit of calling me up and "monologging" and I don't think I can tell him... but he will ask a question and never let you answer.. literally going around and around arguing points to himself and when you start talking - talking RIGHT OVER YOU... and not even realizing. I wish there was some way I could tell him because he has to deal with the public and i am sure that is going to hurt. But I am stunned at how he doesn't seem to realize he is doing ALL the talking.
IMHO just better not to try anymore or look for people who might be willing to listen, but they are getting fewer and fewer.
