Cussed at co-supervisor b***h

Post Reply New Topic

If he, otherwise, gets along with his co-workers, I don’t feel he should quit this job. He’s been there over ten years:

He had a problem with one supervisor. Maybe it’s been resolved already.

One shouldn’t up and quit because of a problem with one supervisor—especially in an area where the other option might be Walmart or some retail outlet.

If I quit because of a problem with one person, I would have quit 35 years ago, and quit again many times.

This might be the source for Mark’s spending money, since his mother is his representative payee.

It’s not really easy to get a nonretail job or nonmenial job without at least some college in the US.

Moreover, if he quits, he has no chance of getting unemployment. If he’s fired, he has a chance to get unemployment.

All in all, based upon what he communicated to us, I don’t find it would make sense for Mark to quit the job.

Congratulations. Do that more often. Always be sure that whatever you're saying is right, though. There are always consequences. Let us know later how the situation developed.

I would like to remind everyone to try and address your comments TO the OP, not ABOUT the OP.

I know this is sometimes hard to do, especially when you are disagreeing with, or amplifying upon, something someone else has said in the thread. But this can quickly devolve into one of those complex, angry threads with everyone talking about the original poster and no one acting like he/she can read what is being said about them.

Thanks, people.

I don’t address OPs directly at times—because direct address can seem confrontational to some. Like I’m giving fatherly advice or something.

The third person is better, at times, for presenting an opinion.

I’m not telling Mark he should do this and that. I am opining that Mark should do this or that. This invites discussion. It’s a discussion with many, rather than a two-person dialogue.

I often address Mark personally, actually.

^^Absolutely.....Life is beset with risks.

At least (perhaps unfortunately), he still has his mother as a "safety net."
