Yes, looks can be deceiving.

Says she complained she didn’t get to work from home, but seems healthy enough to work her horses doesn’t she?

Also, she wanted her days she took from work for the accident to be FREE/reinstated. WTF???? Thin skinned and easily offended...that’s all that woman is. She even complained about a “sexually explicit” email comparing men/women to computers. I can only imagine how petty THAT was.

As a woman myself, I cannot stand to work around 90% of them. Petty, gossipy, and plain stupid most of the time. I work mainly with men. My current IT job of Infrastructure there are 6 in my immediate team...I’m the only girl. On the team on a larger scale there are about 40. Only 4 of us are women. I LOVE it.

The government awards sick days for the accident. The agency may allow the employee to go negative on sick days and earn them back later. I suppose she was alleging the accident was the agency’s fault.

Work-at-home agreements are approved and denied for a variety of reasons.

Kennedy School of Government? She either had a high grade level already or an inflated opinion of herself.

Thanks for ‘fessing up to some of the fits and foibles of the fairer sex. A relative of mine is psychologist and I hear stories about how the women rule his office and spend mucho time scheming. In fact they want to get rid of him but that ain’t gonna happen. One woman boss blew a million dollars via financial mismanagement. Power goes to their heads a lot easier than with guys

My sentiments, too, although I've liked and respected some of the women I've worked with. The common denominator with these women was that they took for granted men would accept them on their own terms, i.e. as women of integrity and intelligence, who were willing to grant that same respect to their male coworkers.

If one encountered the occasional brutish, sexist treatment, well, that could usually be dealt with by direct and unambiguous confrontation. This is in no way meant to trivialize such behavior; there are certainly instances that require intervention at a higher level. I'd like to add that I've also witnessed sexual(and other) harassment of men in the workplace, although many women deny such a thing is possible.

I've been self-employed for almost six years, and it's a relief to no longer have to deal with office environments. Now I just offend myself.
