Just looking at what happened to Terry Schiavo, and the Liberals/Democrats/Feminist sacrament ( as Rush says it ) and top agenda of Abortion, it is not a far stretch to see were the feminist want to go.

However, if that screaming and yelling is done in public (in front of customers, or in the presence of fellow co-workers) to humiliate a worker then they should be fired.

I tolerated it once, decades ago, and hated myself forever for it.

Should it happen again I will quietly say whatever it takes to provoke a physical assault so I can nail the bastard to the wall.

"Harrassment, Intimidation, or Bombast" have been illegal since the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1966 or so.

Cool! When can I claim "nagging" is actually sexual harassment?

Anyone have the picture of the iced up "hell" highway sign?

No it isn't, however one can find contentment with the mindset that they aren't going to finish their trip.

That's what I tell my young niece-I'm so glad that I fell in love with an "old school" kind of man,and don't have to find a husband from her generation. I can't imagine being married to a guy who I would have to fight for the mirror and closet space,and who would be sneaking my hair products all the time,hehe.

I'm sick of those,and all the shows where the children are always portrayed as having to clue in the helplessly hopelessly out of date parents. But then I haven't watched network TV in decades,especially sitcoms.

"Ain't it amazin' how women want to be the exact equal of men, except of course when it is a bit inconvenient and uncomfortable to be equal to them."

That's right. All we women think exactly the same and we act exactly the same and we have the exact same feelings about things. Hell, we're completely interchangeable.

You know, it is possible to have a civilized debate on gender matters without denigrating every member of the opposite sex, especially since you're probably the first one to get bent out of shape when some woman unfairly complains about "you men."

Patton's managment style isn't really germane to the modern office. If I had the power to throw office miscreants in the stockade, send them on punitive 20-mile marches, or just plain slap 'em around, well I wouldn't need diplomatic skills.

If you have to yell, there's only thing worth saying: "You're fired!"

"So if I burst into tears when the women at work make cruel jokes about my favorite sports team, can I sue?"

Yes, but only if the team isn't the NY Rangers. In that case, there's no judge on earth who wouldn't tell you you should be used to it by now.

What do you call a blonde in the freezer? frosted flakes.

You know I had to say it twice to let the blondes get the joke. :)

More than a decade ago, I once had a very abusive FEMALE boss in the Hillary Clinton mode -- so should I have sued for sex discrimination?? Oh, no, I guess unless I cried at work it would not count.... ?? This is absurd.

Highly abusive a-holes should be regarded as unprofessional and fired, but sex/gender should not enter into the issue.

"So if you, for instance, say in a firm, level voice at normal speaking volume that "the work is not up to standard and that it will have to be redone to met an important customer deadline" and, in response, she cries, are you then guilty of sex discrimination under the "reasonable woman standard"? "

Yes. There is a major engineering company in the Houston area that has that policy.

Men should sue women for gossiping in the workplace. THAT, more than yelling, causes a hostile workplace.

Lunged was probably his leaning in to make a point and his shaking his fist was probably a gesture to make a point. I have done that many times when I chaired a meeting. I'm Italian and if I had to keep my hands at my sides I couldn't speak at all. Sort of like Elvis trying to sing without doing the swiveling thing with his hips.

I know a temper tantrum when I see one & I'm sure you do too.

Just glad I don't work for you. And you should be real glad you don't work for me.

You would be fortunate to have an employee like me. I'm no wilting flower. I spent years as the middle man between a boss who tends to fly off the handle & the people doing production. Eventually, the main shop foreman forced the boss to stay off of the production floor.

I wrote the company's employment manual, with warning procedures & the like. When the manual was followed, we successfully defended against unemployment claims. I wrote the manual to prevent my best friend from making an unemployment claim, because she needed to get fired. While I was working on the manual, she realized she needed to quit & found another job.

If a man gets violent in the workplace by punching things or whatnot, a man may feel he can defend himself against the other man if he gets physically violent to them personally. A woman wouldn't feel that way, generally speaking.
