I've been volunteering in an organization for 6 or 7 years now and they've been misusing my work for a few years now (e.g. not crediting me on my artwork). And I just realized a hands-on guide I wrote for the person who took on my position in 2016 (and that they told me they had lost since) actually is accessible by anyone online
And I'm so pissed because this guide contains private data about our sponsors and companies we work with
So this guy who took on a job after me told me he'd lost the document whereas he actually posted it on his website, and now it's visible to anyone.
I'm saying this every year but now that's it, as soon as I'm done with their website I quit
I am part of a small friends group that (used to) routinely meet. Something happened that I am unsure how I feel about. Bob asked me to attend a "meeting" with him and Joe. I was not told what the topic of the meeting was before attending. Though I attended, I am frustrated that I am still not cl...
@JourneymanGeek Hmm... I was mostly thinking of 'I want X to solve my problems with Y' cases, not 'I'm going to solve the problem with Y, but would like for X to back me up' :/
nvm, I just read the question and that's clearly wrong
What I should have said was - well he clearly thinks he's right, and probably the other side does too, and wants to be told he's right without actually interacting with the other side. Probably
Talking about that... @Raditz_35 Regarding your comment here, do you mind me editing out the last line? It's kinda harsh/direct and probably not the best way to encourage people to add details, calling their question absurd :/
@Belle Yeah but if Bob's personality is to usually tell people to ask the other person directly... that says something about how happy I think Bob may be about all this, TBH
@Tinkeringbell i was calling the described situation absurd, not the question. If you truly feel the need to protect people here from such harsh statements, go ahead, but I do not agree. I agree that one might read this into my comment, but what can be read into the question is much, much worse
Hmm. I'll see if I can do something to make that clearer then and keep your intention, because I do agree with the flags there, that "I have that problem with you, your description is absurd" isn't very kind.
How about 'Right now the described situation seems absurd, because it's condensed into a single line' ?
@Belle be prepared for it not be pure though. They might give you some raw, unfiltered wax. You'll then have to filter out the pollen/propolis and debris in a saucepan
My female friend had a son recently, and it is a source of great joy for all of us (friends).
When his son completed three months, we organized a surprise party for him, and the mom was very happy with it.
Now his son is close to six months, and she decided to organize a thematic party. Problem...
Sorry. If it helps... I'm still waiting for another question asker to answer my comments... I already have most of the answer written but want my assumptions checked :/
Of course it's also almost bed time, so I probably wake up tomorrow to someone else having answered it ;)
@ArthurHavlicek It's not a totally bad question, and I like the quick edit it got. I do think it may help to know what OP is trying to achieve here though, why are they wanting to wish this specific colleague a happy Valentines? What's the message they're trying to send? :D
also... there's always some risk... that's kinda inherent with these sorts of things... so that part in particular is just going to invite stories about "one time someone got really offended so NEVER EVER say it"

If you don’t think it’s appropriate, what could you say alternatively?
