How does a boss manage a worker who believes their feelings trump reality, right down to the way she "feels" about her misspelled words?
Gently. And probably badly, even though that's no fault of the boss in question.
Carol Blymire -- a "communications and public policy executive, branding consultant, professor, writer" -- took to Twitter on Friday to tell the story she overheard of a young writer, probably "in her late 20s," going over edits with her boss.
What issue caused mentor and student such agitation and aggravation? Had the boss been needlessly cruel? Had the young writer pushed some radical agenda, and was refusing to tamp it down a bit? Hardly. They were arguing over how to spell "hamster." You know, the little furry rodents some people keep in one of those winding Habitrail cages.

The boss should have handed her a dictionary and said politely the words in this book are spelled correctly and this is the spelling we use here, if you can not handle that then we don't need you here! Snowflakes are gonna learn the real world doesn't give a shit about your pitiful little feelings!
Liberals don't need dictionaries?
LOL "worker who believes their feelings trump reality". Have you seen the commentary on this board? This is the exact dynamic that happens here EVERY day. A bunch of uninformed illogical people arguing from whatever fantasy land they have created in their heads or, more accurately, been told to believe by talking heads and politicians profiting off the ignorance of the masses.
10:48 What the "F" are you talking about? When people are stupid it shows. What people say on here are opinions and just like A-holes, everyone's got one. I think you must be a RINO. My opinion.
Please provide some examples for consideration, 10:48.
So that's what that molly likovich character is up to, LOL.
Dictionary lives matter!
In retrospect, somebody hired the wrong somebody.
Math is hard!
Spelling is harder!
10:48 You just described every democrat in office😂
1139 see the way it works is, you actually go out and find the facts, work to understand them, then form an opinion. Did I slow that down enough for you?
1143:
"ARREST THE TRAITOR" - in response to a story of Guillum raising money for, get this, voter registration.
"Awesome / MAGA TRUMP 2020""President Trump is absolutely correct. They don't like it then get the hell out." - in response to POTUS (or anyone for that matter) making the absolutely doofus statement that one practicing their free speech to question the decisions of US government, especially an elected congressional rep, should stop complaining or leave. That is clearly not how any of this works. LOL. Consult your pocket constitution.
"It WAS a country of white people until we began inviting people of color." - In response to Omar's 'not a country of white people' comment. The US was NEVER a country of white people. LOL how ignorant of US history can one be? Was America white when the Europeans encountered Native Americans? Was it white as 100's of thousands and later millions of slaves contributed to building the economic backbone of what was to become the US? The essential essence of the US is that folks from around the world came here and contributed to the formation of this union. And still do. Folks have resorted to really just making up their own history in their heads.
Lastly, on ANYTHING dealing with immigration, and I'm paraphrasing here: "Illegals are trying to break into America to get freebies.....all while simultaneously stealing our jobs". Not that one is the funniest!
Are you picking up what I'm putting down now?
313-Is Gillum still under an FBI investigation?
