Now listen here, feminism...

Yes, I fear it's what you meant, which is the problem. You are basically advocating fighting everything at once.

I am indeed. The mere act of unifying would actually make a lot of the "everything" people would be fighting a non-issue, though. I'm not saying everyone has to be the same, but to create a united front of social justice and civil rights.  I say this because we actually are all fighting the same thing, but are being manipulated into fighting one another.

It might work if there only were a select few uncomplicated issues to worry about. *Might work*.

In reality, it's not going to happen because the issues are complex, diverse and frequently contrary to each other.

I just quit my job. I love early intervention, but the drama was too much. Actually, the politics were too much. I had idiots who did not know how to do my ob telling how to do it  - me, a proud ODD.

I am now switching to dementia, and I bet I will love this too.The crazier, the better. But I plan to return to helping families of young children within a year.

They actually called the police on me! The police arrived, and within minutes were protecting me from the crazy admins! It was all kind of alien. maybe I will post the story.

Could we get the police report too? along with the OTHER side of the story?

Sure, Pappy. There's always more than one perspective.

Pappy, I just got back from seeing my old colleagues. I still have not seen the police report, but of the two who called the police - the one who was manager of my department was replaced. No one knew what happened to the other. She was higher in the hierarchy and based in a different building.

I feel she carried greater responsibility, but this is a place that throws subordinates under the bus.

I've worked at places like that. The professional racing industry is pretty damn cutthroat.

Not a shocker for people who are competitors. What did/do you do in this industry?

I working in a highly collaborative "helping" profession, and this administration was simply unexpected. The police officer suggested I go to the local employment commission, who suggested I file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (feds).  I can share their perspective once they process it.  They are the gatekeepers for disability lawsuits.

CNC Prototype machining, welding, fabrication and R&D work. I worked directly with the crew chiefs and engineers to design new parts for our race cars.

I hadn't heard of CNC Prototype machining so I googled around and found http://americanmachinist.com/features/machinists-nascar. While different teams may be cutthroat with each other, within your team, you all have gotta be like a well oiled machine. I've seen how pit teams are like dancers to get max efficiency. You have to be artistic and visionary as well as efficient.  It sounds like a great job!

That's the theory at least. In reality it doesn't work like that. Everyone wants to be the hero and in order to stand above the rest, it's easier to throw your co-workers under the bus.

Hopefully it's a high-tech bus at least.

Funny enough, we had one of those...

Contrary because people want them to be. COUGHallthewhilescreamingforequalityCOUGH

[odeon]

No, contrary because they're *contrary*.

If you try to do everything at once you'll end up failing with everything.
