i THOUGHT this thread said RELIGION in the work place...

JR....even though i respect that you are Jewish (correct me if I am wrong)

religion, isn't the number one discriminating factor here! nor is race...it is SEX!

So, as for shunning etc..behavior...whatever you want to call it..jr...listen very closely...bullys are everywhere..mean people are everywhere....and it is only thru one developing a thick hide that one can be in the work place.

OK, maybe you feel that you somewhere along the road, got the short end of the stick...

but correct me if i am wrong again here...DIDN't you say that you were a Jewish Russian immegrant? and you live in the states????

NOW, From what my Jewish Russian immegrant friend told me was that living in the states was WAY better then living there as far as a lot of things go...

JEWISH people have good rights in the states and are treated pretty good. Now granted there are some people who don't like JEWS....but as far as I know, there are people everywhere who have issues!

Like the people who have issues with me-- it is because of my sex! I am a woman, I reached the glass ceiling in my company.

now, maybe being Jewish is a heritage thing or maybe it is a religious thing...but I CAN'T TELL a Jewish person walking down the street that they are JEWISH! but when I walk down the street, they can tell that I am female.

So, I don't know what it is, but your posts DO have good points in them...but then you go off on these tangents...

I look at the this topic title and it says RELIGION in the work place, then i read it and it is nothing more than a JR vs. OBserver thread....

JR--people don't have to agree with you OK>>?? You have some good points here...but so do others.

I mean you just post like it is so easy for you to lose your serenity.

IF you are going to post, then expect someone to have a different view point.. and deal with it..otherwise, If you only want your view and not heed others, and granted you don't have to heed, then WHY post at all then???

This is a message board...one person starts a topic, then others reply...if they disagree with you then that is OK!

We are not CLONES....

You have good posts and good points...but the key is ACT, not react...

and speaking of tangents...I am off on one myself...so I am going to shut up now...
