A Letter of Request

To Whom It May Concern,
It has come to my attention that you think you are entitled to the world. I feel that, as your colleague, I am required to tell you that the world is not yours. Please do not dictate to me which emails I should send or how to send them. We are equal. You could easily save time by sending them yourself if you are so sure you know exactly how they should be written anyway. Don't decide that I should only be used as your assistant to motivate you or do the tedious tasks. We are sharing a space and we are required to work together. This does not mean that you should tell me what I am supposed to do. I will not be checking in with you to make sure that you have completed all your work on time. I will not be sending your emails for you. (Don't bother to ask me to do your laundry or cook your dinner, I will say no.) 

I have worked far too hard in my lifetime to be pulled down by your superiority complex. I have built myself back up from nothing; don't talk down to me, I've overcome far harder situations than you could ever put me in. Should you continue to step on my toes and disregard my feelings, I will kindly remind you of your place in the world. Our world. For I have far more life-experience than most 20-something year olds, and I am not afraid to defend my abilities (which are much more than sending your emails, and monitoring your productivity levels).

Sincerely,
An Educated Woman
