Listen with empathy not sympathy and be assertive in your response. I would highly suggest that both new and more "seasoned" administrative professionals print this out and keep it close by. Let them have their words. Do not interrupt. When they are finished, ask questions to clarify their feelings. Seek answers.

Just as you would not send an email when you are angry or upset, dont ask to meet with the individual until you have a clear, strategic plan of how you will approach the topic and express your thoughts. You may have to agree to disagree, but at least you will have expressed your thoughts in a professional manner and you will still have a job.
