i don’t really see being too fragile as a powerful position….
it has definitely been abused by people pretending to be fragile… but the amount of very hostile, sexually aggressive people at many workplaces has made it this way, not the fragile people.
work is a place people are dependent on to make money to survive, with people they have to see every day.
a good friend of mine was a manager and very mildly cussed at a worker when they made a mistake… not even at her but just cussed as he was walking off….
she went to h.r., said it was because he hated lesbians (he doesn’t, has a lesbian aunt and several lesbian friends).
they fired him after ten years of being a good worker, working overtime or filling in whenever asked… never being late….
just fired him over one person saying one thing.
everyone else backed him up, but they didn’t care.
….
unions are pretty good, btw.
anecdotes aren't data. even if this is true, which i don't believe it is to be honest, it pales in comparison to the innumerable discriminatory practices towards women and all sorts of minorities. also even in your own friend's probably distorted version of the events he's in the wrong.
my point is sometimes it does get abused…. but it’s in place for good reasons
and the fact that you think you know whether my friend was in the wrong or not means that you’re not worth talking to
anything can sometimes get abused. that's what abuse is; it's different from use.
what do you mean i think i know your friend is in the wrong? i said he is in the wrong even if you take him at his word. that's not me thinking it; it's him admitting it.
you’re just boring concern troll trying to argue with everyone… i see your comment history.
every single comment is some condescending argumentative bullshit….
i’ll be blocking you and moving on to actual conversation
you don't even know what the word you use mean. what concern trolling?
wow my comments are argumentative‽ it's almost like I reply to a comment i disagree with and argue against it, maybe I should post more comments that say "this" instead so you can feel more in good company.
