[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 113345, member: 1991"] Sorry to hear about the job loss, David. Maybe put in writing (calmly) why you felt you were treated unreasonably? And also include what you said here, that you also feel walking out was perhaps not the best way to resolve the problem... it mightn't get your job back (and you probably shouldn't be in that environment anyway, for your sake) but it might help you move on to your next job more effectively and positively. How many others have left that place recently? And where did THEY go? easy child 2/difficult child 2 was in a similar situation, got 'fired' for daring to be unhappy, then hastily re-hired when the boss realised he'd broken the law, then had conditions set on her that were unreasonable (so she left voluntarily - putting the boss in the clear) and immediately was snapped up by the company where all previous disgruntled employees had gone. At half as much again in pay, too. She still sees her former boss - smile happily and waves to him, because he didn't know it, but he did her a favour. And about you (David) being embarrassed at the doctor - meowbunny, you said, "Way To Go on seeing the doctor! Not sure why you felt it was humiliating." Meowbunny, David's a bloke. And sorry to say, there are a lot of different (and often humiliating, for a bloke) things that happen during a general physical checkup. We women grumble about the stirrups and Pap smears, but we do it. It's a much bigger emotional obstacle for men. Add in the male fear of seeming less than invincible, AND having to admit it to another person (the doctor) and you can see why it can be so difficult to get a bloke to REALLY open up to a doctor and talk about their health concerns. So knowing that, David, extra kudos to you for actually going through with it. Marg [/QUOTE]
