I think it's easy for people to say, 'Because you do this, you must be this kind of person, vain or uptight or mean to people.' People have a sense of who you may be because of the job you do. That's unfair judgment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's people that are just in awe of what you do, and then there are people who just think it's garbage. And I think there are people who are just uncomfortable seeing someone have fun with their job.
I just feel like if I do good work, then people should respect me for the work I do.
When you're doing a job that benefits other people, it's easy to assume that they feel conscious of the fact that you're doing this work - that they should feel grateful, and that they should and do feel guilty about not helping you.
It comes down to the way you treat people. When you treat people with dignity and respect all the time, you can work through anything.
Whether at work, at home or in public, we have been trained to believe that who we are at the core of our being is often unacceptable. As a result, we work diligently to live up to - and sometimes down to - what others have made us out to be, whether or not it is an accurate reflection of who we are.
People feel like they know me from the work I have done, but it's not me.
People want to work with somebody who feels shame, who worries about the perceptions of others. Dishonesty is something we don't like in others.
It's really hard to judge people until you see what they do with the job.
It was a very big principle in my upbringing that you should respect everybody's work. The street sweeper. Everybody. You should never look down on anybody for their work.
It is hard that people don't just let you do your job for them and entertain, and then carry on your own life.
