probably an obvious comment to make but if you are feeling it, take some notes on the situation at hand, being as factual as you can given the circumstances. contemporaenous notes are powerful documents to possess during conflicts and when things go to shit.

Yeah, I'm starting to realise I should've taken more notes from last week too to assess what is reasonable and what isn't in this context. Never mind, I'm here now. Have a lot more clarity now after a long chat with a friend who works in HR and knows what I've been dealing with

fair deal friend, and its real good to hear you've got some clarity, shout out to ya mate in HR hey what a legend

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah she's awesome. One of my longest friends here and she's a real stand up mate. Thank goodness I spoke to her because now I think I know what's going on (work seems to be behaving like I'm angling for workers comp, which I haven't even the foggiest idea about and isn't remotely my intention)

honestly that's so awesome of her, i always wanted to know what it was like on the inside and its so great that you can get that perspective bc workplaces get real funny when it comes to this kinda thing

in a job awhile back there were multiple claims against one staff member and the gov paid several people out due their behaviour. yet hr had the audacity to emphasise on numerous occasions that nobody was guilty, the workplace environment was safe, yadda yadda

but anyway stoked you got some perspective on your situation and again i hope it mellows out for ya
