I have worked at the same place for 25 years. All this time in the same position. After all that time, there has only been 2 people that I have found it really difficult to work with. But recently someone new is in our "division." I didn't want here there because I knew she was really chummy with the boss. I made the HORRIBLE mistake of voicing my opinion to some of the other people in our division. It got back to one of the first line supervisors, and ended up with the boss. (He was only my boss for about 6 months--we change Department Heads every few years.) He was irate. I have good reason not to care for this person because of rumors she spread about my daughter that were not true.
Then I was given a new duty that usually the new person's position would do. Quite time consuming, but the boss decided that someone else should do this. I made another HORRIBLE mistake by voicing my opinion on that too--with the boss. He put me in my place and said I was going to do it. Period. Things have been going pretty well. I stay my distance from her because I know she is a trouble maker. Instigator. Gossiper. All of the above.
Something happened yesterday that really upset me. It was something other co-workers were saying that was disrespectful to the position of "Secretary." The new person asked me what was going on. I told her. She said that our boss would not like that AT ALL, and he should know. She said she would tell him so I didn't look like a tattle tale. BUT I think she changed the story all around to make it look like I was just whining over something and not that it was a valid complaint at all.--which it IS. I don't know how to repair this other than maybe just shut up for a change.
Fr. Chuck sent me an explanation of reddies, thank you. Otherwise, I don't know where you are posting the rules you keep refering to, JudyKayTee...
They have been posted in at least two of my responses to you - proving (A) you don't read my responses (which is your prerogative); or (B) you don't read any of the follow-ups.
I am not going to research to find them. If you are interested, you can take care of that.
That fine. I don't find your criticisms are typically very helpful anyway - I find them kind of snide and curt and lacking in respect and courtesy. No offense, but you might give it some thought as the point of this site is support and help, not finding fault with others and trying to make them feel stupid and ignorant.

No offense here either but you have given some very bad legal advice (I find your advice, other than legal, to be questionable, but those aren't "my" territory), gone off on tangents which are not helpful, read info which is not posted into a post and responded to it and been generally disruptive.
That support and help - on the threads which are not discussion threads - is supposed to be correct.
As far as respect and courtesy - people earn both. You started out with reddies, totally uncalled for, for me and other people and now you are looking for respect? Again - it's earned.
I don't think I'm curt - I do think I'm to the point. Sorry of my bluntness offends you. If you're going to work in the legal profession you're going to have to grow thicker skin because most Attorneys and law firms don't put up with whining about unfair treatment and also don't have much tolerance for people who don't read/follow the rules.

I don't know how you managed to miss the umpteen times that Judy provided you a link to the site rules for the rating system...? In fact, on one particular thread, she provided you with the link to the rules, only to have you disagree with her improperly on the same post.
I don't know if you just don't want to read the rules, or can't understand them....you say now that Fr_Chuck explained them to you, when you were already pointed in the right direction....I really am at a loss.
Other than misunderstanding the purpose of reddies, I've had very little negative feedback. That was a mistake, which I've explained to you enough that someone like yourself who is all knowing and superior to the rest of us should be able to get off of it.

If you don't like my posts, don't read them.
1) Never once said, or even implied, that I was superior and/or all-knowing. I DO, however, know how to click a link, read rules and guidelines as they are posted, and then choose to abide by those same site rules.
2) Public forum. Please don't start with the childish "If you don't like me, then ignore me" stuff. I can read what I want, when I want. And if you're wrong, you'll be called out on it.
dontknownuthin agrees: I won't push disagree - God forbid. I made an error, I've apologized, she's still criticizing me and in this case, got on my case for apologizing for making the error she was on my case for before. Does it end?
Sorry, telling people that they're rude, curt and lacking in respect and courtesy is NOT an apology....not sure how you even were able to put that one together.
Edit: It never ceases to amaze me - someone posts something incorrect on the Law forum, gets called on it; rather than posting in other forums where opinion is much more acceptable, they continue to argue with other people about what's wrong and right.

"She" is not the only one who got reddied; "she" is not the only one who got an apology; "she" is not the only one who complained.
Now if we could only find out who "she" is.
And, like you, I'll read what I want, where I want, and respond in kind.
I'm getting more and more curious about this "Masters Degree" program with accents on dealing with staff, people in general.
Your post wasn't up yet when I wrote my reply...I was referring not to you but to JudyKayTee. Sorry that the timing of the posts coming up made it appear I meant you - I certainly did not.
I had already acknowledged and apologized for my error with the "disagree" feature to JudyKayTee, had told her I won't post on the legal area any more, and have been complimentary at other times to her but she seems to just look up everything I post anywhere on this website and always appears to have a negative thing to say, often with a disrespectful tone, so yeah, I lost patience with her...not to drag you into it, too.
And while I'm not too dumb to follow a link, either, I do have a lot going on as we all do, and I didn't do it...sorry again. And again, my intention in being part of this website is to help and be supportive. Hard to do when I feel attacked.
