>> Anyone who has difficulty with this should seek a bit of help, and those implying there is something wrong ... they have a different problem entirely, I don't know how to describe it.
This line of thinking seems really...bad. I mean, essentially what you're saying is:
"I disagree on this matter which is unambiguously a personal opinion, and anyone with a differing opinion is wrong, and anyone who is sympathetic to their opinion has something wrong with them, too."
I'm genuinely curious, what makes you take this position?
- jollybean 4y agoThe line of thinking that you assume anyone's grievances are immediately legitimate is ... 'bad'. People whine and cry about any number of things, we have to be conscientious about what constitutes a reasonable grievance. There is such a thing as objectivity. I've worked in 4 countries over 25 years and never would have I have seen someone make a legitimate concern over 'being asked to chat later'. Can I empathize with someone who feels that way? Sure, it's not outrageous, but that person would have to have the self awareness to recognize that it's their issue, and that they likely ought not to bother other people about their problems. I'm sure any decent manager would 'not do it' if asked, at the same time, it's definitely 'an ask'. This is not an issue of undue pressure or harassment on the part of a manger, not even close. Adults in the workplace have a minimum responsibility regarding their disposition include emotional maturity, among other things. This one is not even nuanced. There's no 'workplace problem' here whatsoever.
