Don’t	
  work	
  with	
  assholes
—and	
  other	
  lessons	
  from	
  
my	
  trip	
  to	
  Spain

February	
  2014	
  
July 2013, Oakland, CA: !
I use my last frequent flier miles!
to buy a ticket to Barcelona in January 2014.!
My	
  goal	
  is	
  to	
  have	
  a	
  mini-­‐sabbaHcal	
  	
  
and	
  spend	
  3	
  weeks	
  in	
  Spain	
  
By December, I really
need a break—
fundraising is grueling
—and we don’t really
make our goal	
  
By January 14,
I am so ready
to go:!
Not only am I
leaving the
country for 3
weeks—I am
not even
bringing my
laptop.!
Spain is amazing	
  
We eat, !
we drink, !
we talk, !
we read, !
we sleep, !
we look….!
It is so relaxing!
We go everywhere….	
  
And I decide I love what I am doing!
in Oakland!
--I just need way better self-care	
  
And then I come home	
  
I have a full day of work,!
a bunch of meetings….!
And I am in a !
terrible mood!
when I go home.!
What’s with that?	
  
And	
  then	
  I	
  realize…I	
  am	
  in	
  a	
  bad	
  mood	
  because	
  
	
  some	
  of	
  the	
  people	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  deal	
  with	
  were	
  	
  
complete	
  assholes.	
  
It’s the scarcity mentality

. 	
  
.	
  

Or,	
  to	
  put	
  it	
  
another	
  way,	
  if	
  
I	
  was	
  a	
  fruit	
  
tree,	
  they’d	
  
pick	
  the	
  fruit,	
  
chop	
  the	
  tree	
  
down	
  for	
  
firewood,	
  and	
  
then	
  complain	
  
that	
  the	
  tree	
  
DIED.	
  
And what would we have left then? 	
  
So I have a profound insight !
3 days after I come back !
from this amazing,!
restorative trip---: 	
  
I need better language to !
ward off the assholes	
  
“So how are you going to support!
my organization?”	
  
“My consulting rate for that work is….”	
  

“No.” 	
  
And with those words---!
I should be feeling !
A LOT better….	
  
Thanks

!

Don't work with assholes -life lessons from my trip to spain

  • 1. Don’t  work  with  assholes —and  other  lessons  from   my  trip  to  Spain   Susan  Mernit   Oakland  Local/Hack  the  Hood/LiveWork  Oakland   February  2014  
  • 2. July 2013, Oakland, CA: ! I use my last frequent flier miles! to buy a ticket to Barcelona in January 2014.!
  • 3. My  goal  is  to  have  a  mini-­‐sabbaHcal     and  spend  3  weeks  in  Spain  
  • 4. By December, I really need a break— fundraising is grueling —and we don’t really make our goal  
  • 5. By January 14, I am so ready to go:! Not only am I leaving the country for 3 weeks—I am not even bringing my laptop.!
  • 7. We eat, ! we drink, ! we talk, ! we read, ! we sleep, ! we look….! It is so relaxing!
  • 9. And I decide I love what I am doing! in Oakland! --I just need way better self-care  
  • 10. And then I come home  
  • 11. I have a full day of work,! a bunch of meetings….!
  • 12. And I am in a ! terrible mood! when I go home.!
  • 14. And  then  I  realize…I  am  in  a  bad  mood  because    some  of  the  people  I  had  to  deal  with  were     complete  assholes.  
  • 15. It’s the scarcity mentality .  
  • 16. .   Or,  to  put  it   another  way,  if   I  was  a  fruit   tree,  they’d   pick  the  fruit,   chop  the  tree   down  for   firewood,  and   then  complain   that  the  tree   DIED.  
  • 17. And what would we have left then?  
  • 18. So I have a profound insight ! 3 days after I come back ! from this amazing,! restorative trip---:  
  • 19. I need better language to ! ward off the assholes  
  • 20. “So how are you going to support! my organization?”   “My consulting rate for that work is….”   “No.”  
  • 21. And with those words---! I should be feeling ! A LOT better….
