I can't agree with that. The situation she describes is where she's acting as a representative of her company, and anything she does is as the face of the company, rather than as a person.
The decision to be confrontational about it is her company's decision, not hers.
- mwetzler 14y agoI am absolutely empowered, as an individual or on behalf of my company, to tell this guy he is an ass. Or to ask the conference organizers to boot him. But I didn't feel like doing either. I didn't even cross my mind at the time. It's kind of like when a crazy person yells at you on the street. Yeah, you could tell them to stop, because it makes you uncomfortable, but that would require even more interaction, and they'd probably do something to make you even more uncomfortable. Easier to walk away. At least by sharing it here some people can learn from the example of what not to do :)
