Hmmm...never heard "she who must not be named" called a "wise mentor" before. 😎 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way hopefully everything will come out in court and due action will be taken. And no amount of later prayer, soul searching or pointing fingers on social media will change that. IMO discussing GHs religious dealing or feeling is totally irrelevant to this thread. mine also goes to those who are collateral damage just because they worked there...but did nothing wrong 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancer79 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Every person handles things differently. As a woman working I had a senior manager walk into a room while I was fixing a computer cable under his desk. I didn’t know him. Upon seeing me on my hands and knees, said something inappropriate. I stood up and told him his comments were such, I went to HR and by the end of the day, he apologized. The next week I was laid off. Then I worked for a small company in Chicago and when I stood up to the owner, she physically hit me. I spoke with an attorney and he said my only recourse would be to find a new job, as a single mom I need the job, I did but it took a year to do so. I could fill a page of situations where asserting men and women have been out of line with me... a power thing. I’m not the quiet type. Obviously. Many people are. That’s their choice. But I believe everyone deserves to be heard. Hard for me to understand the collective silence over the years but that’s me. I wasn’t there... but I’ve had my own abuse I have dealt with.

oldcadetsop Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Of all people, yes GH was vocal on social media to a fault, maybe he confided with his daughter, definetly not his ex wife, but why you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
