I've had only one workplace experience that I would consider extreme. I was directly threatened (unsolicited physical harm) by another co-worker. I immediately brought it to the attention of the manager and their response was: "I don't have time for this shit!".

I walked out, got in my car and drove home. Then I wrote a very detailed letter (email) to the corporate headquarters explaining what had transpired. The next morning I went back to work, with several printed copies of that email, to hand deliver to the managers.

While waiting in my car for the building to open, one of the managers came to speak to me. They expressed to me that they knew what had happened the previous day and headquarters weren't going to do anything about it. I gave that manager the printed copies, drove home and never looked back.

I had enough self-respect and dignity to just move on and leave all those assholes behind.

The 'r' word is considered a slur and is NOT nice...Please. be(e) nice at Beehaw. Thanks.

My favorite Pogues album by far.

First, I believe that @agegamon@beehaw.org provided some good thoughts.

That being said, I believe that being heard is important here. I hear you and others do as well.

I wish I could wave a magic wand and make all your troubles disappear.

Take care and feel free to share more in the future.

...you are thick.

When you signed up for Beehaw you agreed to our only rule: Be(e) nice. Name-calling is NOT nice. Consider this a warning.

Also guilty.

Why would you feel this way...most of us were born into this world not knowing anything about climate change...I only learned about it in 2007...Scientists have known about this problem, at least, since the 1950s....It has been shown, many times over, that the primary responsibility (of no longer burning fossil fuels) falls onto a handful (or so) of very large corporations...Of course, they want the every day person to feel guilty and have been pushing green-washing propaganda for decades onto all of us...propaganda works in their favor to deflect the blame off of themselves and onto you and I.

Right now, China and India must get on board quickly in order for the future populations to subvert the worst case scenarios.

The media love to remind all of us of the so-called 1% but NEVER mention the 0.0001%. Roughly 400 Americans that have an unimaginable amount of wealth. Not Jeff Bezos, Not Elon Musk nor anyone that is publicly acknowledged.

Wealth Shown to Scale has shown all of us, for many years, the diseased dragons lying on mountains of gold. These are the ones that own and control almost everything that happens on Earth.

This doesn't belong in World News.

Please, remember our only rule here at Beehaw -> Be(e) nice. Name-calling is NOT nice.
