Yeah, I worked at one of those. Why do think I did so much hiring? It is, however, complicated. It was a tough job in a tough industry with tough partners running the business. People quit more than were fired; they just burned out. With any luck, they planned the transition well and left on good terms. I counseled a LOT of associates through such transitions, and I knew that with the right care they would do extremely well in the future, even if my current bosses considered them mediocure. I knew my firm so well that my favorite interviewee was the guy who told me, when asked a question as to what would make a good day at work (he was doing retail while in college), that his favorite days were when he had the nasty, mean customers. Why? Because he thrived on the challenge, on taking the impossible and making it good. I knew right away he was a "fit" for that intense company. It was great experience, I learned SO much, but man it was tough. Is that all good or bad? Hard to say. The firm served a unique need in a unique time and it's difficult to imagine a firm with a softer culture doing as well. Still, times changed and the firm merged itself out of existence, and that was probably just as well. I certainly would not choose that job today.

ANYWAY, I DO have a real life job to do today, and I'd best get back to it. I'm one of those who appreciate being challenged, so it's tough to leave when someone calls me out. But I'll have to.

Hope all this has maybe in some small way made sense to someone.

High tech, or the arts

I love eccentric weirdo-coworkers. Keeps things interesting.

Sorry, I'm going back to work. For real.

I don't see how that is being a troll and an idiot. Sounded like friendly advice to me.

His insinuation was personal and directed at me in association with my last post before his. It seems to be a very common tactic around here toward passive-aggression. People have been slamming me from day one and I can't say I've been able to handle it very well. The real world is a much kinder place than what I have experienced here.

Aspieartist,

Evidence, Please? The post is on topic, it makes no such insinuation, and it was not directed at anyone. Please do not infer more than what a friendly post will imply; please stop hijacking threads to make personal attacks; and please take any and all complaints you have against me to the moderators.

Thank you,

F.

This is what I wrote just before you posted your message. When someone is expressing something personal, why do you have a continuing need to show arrogance or make digs at those particular moments? What makes you want to inflict these kinds of insults, however indirectly?

Your post after mine. If you think that's constructive, it isn't. It's only rude and insulting. Why?

You tell me, since you are the one feeling insulted; and I know that it was neither rude nor insulting - it is a true statement, based on real-world events as experienced by long-term workers the world over (of which I am one). How could it possibly be rude and insulting?

It was an insult as pertaining to the discussion of disability, which was what I was attempting to talk about. It's very painful what I was trying to voice, and your input was incredibly rude and off-putting, which is clearly what you were intending for it to be. It's very hard to be around this kind of constant mockery. Why can't you find something better to do with your time than try to pick on someone who has clearly had a much worse go of things than you have had?

Edit: If you HAVE had a worse go of things, why would you wish to inflict hurt in this instances being you would likely know what that feels like and means?

Fnord, aspiartist, you're both a heartbeat away from being banned. You better just leave each other alone.
