"On a personal level, I feel very alone and "unsafe" at work, having to watch what I say around whom and always be filtering what I say based on how it might be misinterpreted or misused." An interesting quote by the author, referring to himself. His tale went the long way around to being in total understanding with his former colleagues and employers, except he still seems to be viewing himself in a somewhat special, if not superior, light. He 1) gave his colleagues examples of how he thought their behavior should be, 2) gave them every opportunity to change their behavior to what he expected, 3) challenged them on what their standards of humor were, 4) brought in others on his concerns to witness them, 5) had a fear of potential liability or reprisal over something he felt could not be compromised on, 6) decided that he wasn't a good culture fit. I don't know that the irony ever struck him along the way. And I wonder, did he start out wanting to be martyred, or was it a decision he made somewhere further down the line?
