Really?
That surprises me because usually they just stab you in the back without so much as missing a smoke break.
What about menopause?
Were you married at the time? How did your husband feel about this?
EIther we have a "reasonable person" standard or we don't nave equality under the law.
It is so simple only these 'lawyers with too much power' could get it wrong.
Seriously now, how do they go about instructing their workforce when personal accountability and corrective action is required?
I worked for a guy once who threw a sandwich at his secretary because there was/wasn't (can't remember) mayonnaise on it.
Damn! All these leaf-blower uses! Who knew?
You've decided to view and dissect women as one big monolithic block of humanity -albeit allowing for those extremely rare exceptions that prove your little rules. I choose to see them as individuals, which is exactly the way I see men. Good luck to you.
My daughters-in-law don't have that problem----my sons lost their hair early. Now THAT makes for a guy who doesn't worry about his looks.
Do you realize what reaping of financial contentment that could have been achieved by the inventor if only the name would have been changed? ; )
"I mean serously does this look like a woman you would want to lunge or yell at ?"
Except for the slight amount of cleavage she doesn't look much like a woman at all.
Yes, individual people with a mind of their own who just happen to tote an ecstatic beauty appealing to men.
D@mn that sucks doesn't it?
"I was told that it had to do with something about respect for assertiveness."
I worked with one metallurgist from Germany who had a unique way of making a point. If you didn't push back, he would view you as being soft, and would walk all over you. I got along well with him. To the uninitiated, people thought we were about to kill each other. I only adapted to his style of attacking a technical problem. At the end of the fray, he would ask if I was bicycling that evening - he got me started back into bicycle racing.
With certain people, corrective action was indeed considered offensive. Any kind of professional feedback was seen as a personal attack.
"Hey hey hey good bye" works.
Gosh, a song could be a hit with those words.
Sounds like a real world annex for some of the odder characters in "Dilbert."
Badda BOOM!
Yeah, in the "progressive" homes, kids are raised to have high self esteem which results in snotty nasty brats who rule the roost and refuse to behave.
I can't abide being around them because my whacking hand gets itchy!
LOL! While one might be tempted to answer in the affirmative, I can't believe that would be wise or safe!
