by MinxieAD 3 months agoI asked for occupational health to have everything but my employers have decided on sending 'selected' info. I'm not even sure what it is as they haven't told me! I've been advised to go but to point out the problems. I have email after email which have been ignored! It is frustrating but I'm sure it'll be okay if I continue sticking to the truth (something they seem to be having difficulty with.) Re critiques. I hadn't thought of it like that. I posted stuff knowing it needs work but reasonably happy that I produced it and wasn't ashamed of it. If this had been a year ago, my reaction would have been much different because I was in a really bad place. I'd have probably got very upset and felt like not posting again. I think it's important to read the guidelines on what critique is. I've never read anything on here that I haven't seen a positive in. As it happens, it has rolled off me, but these little boxes can contain some annoying rubbish at times which can be difficult to ignore! -
by CJ 3 months agoThat sounds hideous, Minx... good luck in getting it all sorted. Surely your employers have to supply this stuff by law if occupational health request it? And that they think they can lie and get away with it... horrible *big hugs*.
I'll be honest, I couldn't believe it when I saw that. I am glad you are wise enough to know what to ignore and what not to (and feel confident enough to do so). Problem is, there are lots of people out there who don't, and that kind of stunt is enough to completely crush a freshly emerging writer. And what *really* annoys me is that it is all opinion! These 'cut everything down to the bare bones of shag-all' merchants really piss me off - yes, it's the way you write... but that isn't the be-all and end-all of writing! Personally, that style makes me want to gouge my own eyes out just so I can find some colour... it's like reading a shopping list disguised as a story.
Uh, rant over... :-D -
by MinxieAD 3 months agoIt may not be perfect, but I like how I write! I'm grateful for the advice which improves that but am equally happy to ignore advice that doesn't. To be honest, I've got a big day ahead as I have a occupational health meeting, followed by other things and am battling to get my personnel file sent which my employers are refusing to do. I feel like a lamb popping in for sacrifice and not much can dent me today as I'm soooooo wound up by how my work situation is being stonewalled mixed in with the odd lie (not from me, from them.) Thanks for being angry for me - I can't be arsed today ;) xxx

by Alanboy 3 months agoElysia,
Your comment struck a chord with me. I don't like that kind of arrogance either, but I bet you will find it wherever you go. It is part of human nature to preach, especially when individuals consider themselves superior.
Take a break from the Cloud. I did. I got away because I objected to certain righteous attitudes, and didn't want to generate bad blood. -
by MinxieAD 3 months agoYou can't beat fb for that type of thing. I must admit I did find it useful when my brother was travelling. It was great to pop in and catch up whenever I wanted.
