At that point, the person is only and exclusively about their own jackpot-seeking agenda, and not the titular mission of the company.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015219452269186971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932320798591753246.post-55467852997928942892015-08-09T17:54:53.785-07:002015-08-09T17:54:53.785-07:00"Who the hell keeps a journal of insults at w..."Who the hell keeps a journal of insults at work — except perhaps someone who always planned to sue in the first place?"<br /><br />Actually, this is very common advice given to people who feel harassed or intimidated in their workplace, or who have any issues that may need escalation -- to "document, document, document." People suffering workplace (or domestic) abuse are advised to keep a journal of what happened, what was said, and when, as soon after each incident as possible. You're fortunate to be unaware of this. It horrifies me to see that following recommended procedure can be seen by an uninformed bystander as proof that the plaintiff had unsavoury motives. <br /><br />"Brittle, thin-skinned, and humourless" are some of the most common adjectives used to belittle and dismiss the complaints of those who are being treated badly. This case aside -- in which I have no vested or other interest -- I urge you to reconsider your assumption that a person being harmed needs to toughen up and take it. GHnoreply@blogger.com
