I find this to be an excellent thread!
I chose my moniker because a co-worker of mine, at the time, (who somehow thought that he was, and probably still thinks IS anonymous!) had the audacity of "outing" a former workmate at the now-defunct institution on Dave's by name. I was furious as this person with a family to support was summarily fired, rightly or wrongly, only to be humiliated on Dave's. The fact that the offender erased the thread did nothing to mollify me as the damage had already been done. Especially, if prospective employers were watching the threads on this place, which had become fodder to many, were reading them.
It Never Ceases To Amaze Me how people can be so thoughtless and harmful! Especially at a time of such weakness. It also Never Ceases To Amaze Me that the audacity of this man goes to the extent of actually calling on his victim recently to explore job opportunities as the victim is aware of his real life identity.
Finally, it Never Ceases To Amaze Me how this person keeps getting hired as his reputation preceeds him, which is exactly why a well-known and reputatable uni in the Emirates won't hire him. He probably hasn't figured that one out yet! He is a well-known "one contract" kind of guy as he's always sniffing around for other jobs around the time for non-renewal comes. My imagination is that he shows his callous disregard for others and his hubris quite early on after getting hired.
My avatar? Although, unfortunately I, um "borrowed" it from another poster (Imatation is the sincerest for of flattery!), it obviously represents Guinness, the nectar of the Gods! |
