1. Confrontation with bullies at work place; need advice with next step

   Zebrapants77 replied to lululucy's topic in Relations

   To Ruby Vee: I could not disagree with this more. It does not sound like the OP was saying the preceptor should have held her hand and sang soothing songs to her, coddled her, etc. It is not asking a lot to be treated with respect and patience. Yes,...
