We're paying you to work, not play politics.<br /><br />As far as the non-profit, in my state I'd have figured out who the malcontents were and fired them as soon as I found them. This is a "right to work" state. The flip side of that is you have no "right" to your job-you can be fired for anything or nothing at all. This sometimes sucks, but sometimes it's a handy tool.The Freeholderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989697995675652792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-69222883015723578132021-04-30T08:13:17.075-05:002021-04-30T08:13:17.075-05:00BladeRunner1066 said...

I would have very publicly fired them on the spot.<br /><br />And have them sue for wrongful termination? No no, <b>learn</b> the form: they desire to <b>force</b> the unjustly 'accused' to quit/resign from the position (clearing their path) because they do not have any actual ammunition to require the group to act. So they make it unbearably uncomfortable until the attacked decides to quit. The SJWs then win, and yet: "We're blameless! (And right!) WE didn't do anything to him; he decided to run away because of his guilt!"<br /><br />This is also why: <b><i>NEVER EVER apologize</i></b>: because rather than an apology calming the matter (as with normal folks); the pressure on you to apologize "answering" for the unjust accusation "just to make them go away" <b><i>NEVER EVER</i></b> makes SJWs go away. They immediately begin a victory dance on your head because, they crow, "you just confessed! That's proof you're guilty and you knew it!" Look around, you'll see a gazillion examples of just this!<br /><br />Trying to 'get righteous vengeance' by firing them in public gives them more ammo, not less. You might also read: <i>4th Generation Warfare Handbook</i> by William S. Lind and Gregory A. Thiele. Know that we are no longer in 'normal' war; we are now in a war where enlisting public (feeling, belief, thought) support is (also) necessary to win. Feeling angry and reacting with that visible anger makes you merely the stronger one in a battle of feelz. <br /><br />Maintaining gracious calmness and (visible) focus on the mission/purpose of the group (ha: "being the bigger man") leaves YOU a hero in the eyes of the group/public/others watching. You SAVED them! It also drives the SJWs into frothing madness: win-win! Rather than responding to a temper tantrum with a temper tantrum; you acted as an adult / gentleman AND drove off the problem. Win-win! (Besides, you ARE the better man -- the sane one, the adult! Yes?)<br /><br />Working with a somewhat insane, viciously vitriolic woman in a necessary supporting department, back when I was 30+ years younger, my own manager (who ducked dealing with her whenever he could) once marveled that I was always able to maintain my calm and bearing when dealing with her, and focus strictly on the problem. He wondered how I managed to do that?! "Well," said I, "ONE of us has to be the adult. ONE of us has to manage to keep the company's goal in mind. SHE is clearly not capable of that, so it's on me. {shrug} Sure I was exasperated, and sometimes spittin' furious, when she left... but I 'won' because the company was not harmed.<br /><br />Hidden condescension is a lovely feeling, go for that instead!<br />Avalanchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295125010710856787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-10960082670202700832021-04-29T21:08:25.133-05:002021-04-29T21:08:25.133-05:00"the ones making demands left".
