The Intermeddling Well Intentioned Friend/Partner-Don’t Become a Victim
One of the most annoying, frustrating individuals I frequently encounter is the well meaning, well intentioned supporter/friend/partner/spouse.
He miraculously appears
- To know the law inside out
- To know all the facts and circumstances of the victim’s unfortunate experience in the workplace.
He, and it’s nearly always a he (sorry lads), insists on answering all the questions I put to the aggrieved, distressed employee who has come to me with a problem arising from the workplace.
He means well, sure, but how he can tell me what happened in the workplace on various dates when he was in a different parish is a source of mystery and puzzlement to me. And when he has never worked as much as 5 minutes in that workplace.
How he can tell me, with such vivid accuracy, what the colleague or rude customer or ignorant manager/supervisor said to the 'victim’-the employee I am trying to assist and advise-baffles me.
Kind Regards
