I’ve been betrayed…at work, no less.
You see, your beloved interlocutor has been the victim of bullying from 4 of her 9 workmates. The boss’s solution? To tell me (in veiled terms) that if I didn’t try harder to co-operate with said bullies, I’d be terminated. Regretfully, of course.
Now, I’m very good at my job. And the job I do is somewhere in the union movement….so I feel particularly nasty about this revelation. I can tell myself that I never expected anything more, but its still a fucking shock to find out just how “for the workers” unions really are.
Time to look for another job…. anyone want an anarcha-fem tech head?


IR and John Howard are fantasic aren’t they?? Same rules for him? NO WAY.
My father in law was fired while on sick leave. Yes. On sick leave with a certificate.
Now that’s unAustralian. Who voted for Howard. God there is so many stories like yours now, it WAS almost unheard of, until the bastard put us back to the 1800’s with these PATHETIC conditions. God help us all!
