And what name did you just call me hours before Christmas. I guess that post you made few days ago was just a smoke screen to hide your true character. In case you forgot, this is what you wrote:

Ha. I actually put asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisk. But I guess calling me pansy, homo, sissy, just day before winter solstice is just fine with you. Or is that revenge for some drunk pesky uncle with late night bedroom visits?

And if David starts posting spelling and grammar corrections across multiple threads like you did, I will go ape.

So its not the mocking of misspelled words that bothers you. Its the correcting. What a hypocrite. And the Merry Christmas still stands.

Tom,

I can't say I am flattered that you thought of me first, but I will say that I have experience in dealing with the type of people you are talking about. You may think I am even one of them, but I am not. I have advanced from an entry level Front Desk clerk (while in college) into middle management in a casino. What I have learned over the years is that most people in the work force don't have the education, skills, and competence to simply let their job performance speak for itself. Most of these people know this and they resort to other tactics to increase their own job security.

The most common tactic is to become a brown noser. These are the people who kiss managements backside in the hopes that management will protect them because they are loyal. It is very effective and not terribly damaging to other workers. Another method is to intentionally make your coworkers look bad in order to hide your own incompetence. This tactic only works for a short time unless the worker is doing it at the instruction of a member of management. It sounds like your friend may be up against one or more of these people.

I feel compelled to ask what you friend's goal is? It sounds like he works in a very hostile work environment. Is this something he wants to continue to do. If not, the only advice I can give is to find another job. In order to give advice if he wants to fight, I would need details about the type of company, his job description, and management structure of the company.

BTW Tom, let me tell you a story. I was passed over for a big promotion a few years ago. The company hired a man who used to be a Vice President at a competing casino in Atlantic City. The majority of the non executive level workforce thought I was going to get the job. I was not upset because the man they hired was more qualified than I was. Last month on his way into work, he had a massive stroke and died. Since that time, literally hundreds of employees have come to ask me when I will be coming to take over his job duties. This time the workforce doesn't just think I should get the job, they expect it. I know that I will not get the job. If the President wanted me in that job, he wouldn't have waited a month to put me their. I let my job performance speak the last time and have done the same this time. Perhaps now that you know that this type of thing happens to the evil management republicans like myself, maybe you will cut me a little slack and see me more as a human being rather than criminal in training.

I'm still hoping you can provide some "fight from the inside" tactics Lehigh. They're about to put out this poor guys' lights.
