My boss would never shout at me. I would never work for someone who thought they could treat me like that in the first place. He respects me and my abilities just as I respect him.
The type of behavior cherokeemoon said was being displayed towards her. And before you jump off the cliff of defending anyone, you should realize I had no idea who the person was that cherokeemoon was talking about. And again it was not important for me to know that since I was not involved and was only talking to cherokeemoon about how she felt. She never mentioned names, which is a good thing.
I simply suggested ways she could protect herself against harassment and encouraged her not to take it personally. What cherokeemoon or CS decides to do about it is their business. They seem quite capable of handling such situations. If the problem has been exaggerated, they will realize that. No reason to get defensive if you are not doing anything wrong.
I have no personal opinion about anyone or their behavior other than cherokeemoon because she decided to make her feelings known publicly and started this thread.
Well, actually I didn't know who it was. And didn't really care because this thread was about her and I personally was talking to cherokeemoon about her dilema.
I was offering her some advise as someone who dislikes that type of behavior in threads and emails. This thread is about her take on things, so I have no problem offering her some support.
Having different opinions is what makes the world go around. If we all had the same brain, life would be quite boring. But name calling is never necessary in my opinion. I think your opinion and point can be made without that type of behavior.
Block her, report her, use your options given to us by the wise creators of CS. Do not lower yourself to her level. Keep your head high. She will get bored, and move on to bother someone else. They all do.
I'm glad you have taken it with a light heart. I don't know the circumstances, but I do know it is not worth taking personally.
People who start crap on the forums have serious issues that would best be left at home. We come here to unwind, make friends, voice our opinions, and have fun. If we wanted negative chaos, we would just walk out the front door into this crazy, negative world.
You seem to be taking the right path. Remember, ognorance is not always bliss and sometimes silence is golden.
I personally think it sucks that they do it that way. Especially if you know and do your job well. But my downfall was I was on the high end of the pay scale because I knew and did my job. They just replaced me with someone less experienced who would work for less money.
Good luck to you Assets. Start now so at least maybe you can negotiate if you are offered another job. You never know, maybe they will realize your benefit to the company as a whole.
I guess I should clarify too. I want a committed relationship, not marriage, a white picket fence, and joint bank accounts. Been there, done that. Now its time to just have fun and enjoy life.
Plarkin, Isn't that the point of joining an international dating site? To meet people who we would not have the opportunity to meet otherwise. To open our minds and our hearts to potential mates? If all our previous b/f or g/f were the "one" we wouldn't be here. I would totally be unhappy with a man who wasn't committed enough to show affection in public or in the forums. Two people working on a relationship only have two outcomes. I don't find either humorous. At least they were brave enough and committed enough to put themselves out there in the first place. I'm ready for the next act. And I'm not sad about it at all.
I personally like to IM with a gentleman I'm honestly interested in. Its easier to hold a conversation, it is private, and you can get to know people a lot better, I think.
I just introduce him as my friend "insert name here". It's quite obvious from how we interact with one another that he is my boyfriend/man/lover/the one I'm with/the one one I'm going home with.
I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles. You are a very sweet woman, things will get better soon. Just keep your faith, enjoy your children, and take care of your health.
