Interesting theory. I've had two female bosses in my life (heavily male industries). One, was a Leer who was promoted. She was a nice person who stayed being a nice person. Then, one day, a switch flipped and she went from vested team leader to horrible manager. She even had one guy arrested for DUI when he wasn't even working. But she heard about it and called the police.
Another, more recently, became very disgruntled and created a hostile work environment when I started receiving all the praise for how well the department was being run. As her immediate supervisor told me, "This whole dept. would have fallen apart if not for you." Apparently they were fully aware of strengths and weaknesses. She tried to get me I to trouble and HR sided with me. At that point she said my very presence in the office threatened her.
Her last gambit was, "the guy is scary." With no proof, evidence or witnesses that I'd been anything less than professional with her. But, once she was "scared" HR had no choice.
I've had good and bad bosses who were men, too. More bad than good.
So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked people who have overtly spammed a thr...
Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...
