How to deal with a senior person who was rude on future deals
May be I shouldn't be so sensitive, but is there a way to deal with a senior professional you've worked with who is rude and may have to continue to work with in the future.
Background I was brought in on a deal with my boss and this person who know each other well, he was a broker from another firm on the other side.
A few weeks later I saw him on my own at an end of the year party and decided to go up/talk to him. I introduced myself said I worked with x senior person who he knows well. He didn't say anything just looked at me and straight ignorned me. Instead of even saying anything he turned his back and started to talk to some other guy.
I understand I'm not the top of the totem poll, but is this the norm? He seemed like a massive asshole to not even give me the time of day and not sure how to go about things like this if you have to work with that person in the future. Am I supposed to swallow my pride and do what I need to on future deals? Seems so, just looking for advice.
Fuck his wife. When he comes up to you and tries to challenge you over this, ignore him and keep doing what your doing. Then that night go and fuck his wife again.
^this. Then per in his gas tank. #fargo
Skin him, and wear his skin-suit, along with his real suit overtop, to his office the next day.
Seriously though, what exactly is the alternative to ignoring it? The guy seems like a prick, but other than just remembering that he's a prick, I'm not even sure what a person would do other than just move on.
You picked the wrong industry if you expect everyone to be nice to you...
Yes. There's really not much else to do. Respectfully, this doesn't seem that bad, and I think you need to realize that. They just ignored you, it's not like they insulted you or yelled at you anything like that.
If assholes could fly the CRE industry would be an airport..... Just part of the game, people show off and act cocky, maintain your cool and don't react. Just is the world we live in! The worst thing you could do is try and go tit-for-tat, play the high ground, nothing else can be gained.
I’ve had this happen to me before when I was an intern. But you have to remember that a 40+ year old who treats junior folks like shit probably have a lot of other problems you don’t know about
you didn't mention if you asked a specific question and got ignored, or if you just said hello and expected this other person to carry the conversation...in which case....don't do that
Did you interrupt him mid conversation? Sounds odd that you’d introduce yourself and he would just turn around and talk to someone he wasn’t talking to prior. Even if you did, still not a professional way to handle it on his end.
RE in particular has a lot of brokers and middlemen who think they’re far more important than they are, don’t let it get to you if they act like an asshole.
There are going to be plenty of hot shots like this all over the industry who think speaking to you is not worth their time. I'd say this is really big with brokers because of how quickly they can make money or close deals. Honestly, don't frustrate yourself over this, just swallow your pride and move on.
Just ignore it and act like nothing happened if you ever need to work with him again. But remember what he did and how he did it, never forget. And when/if you get the chance you shank that motherducker as hard as you can in the back. The law of the jungle apply in CRE.

Being like this guy means you’re successful.
