So, now the policy here is that when one points out an injustice, a problem -- the one who points out the problem BECOMES the problem...?
Those are the same tactics used in mind-controlling groups. Having escaped from one, I'm quite familiar with that. Blame shifts from the offending party to the whistle-blower.
You see, when we adhere to the procedures and guidelines given, and yet there is no recourse, an injustice is allowed to not only remain, but to flourish. And yet when you who have authority continue to remind us to use the clearly inconsistent and therefore defunct procedures, the entire situation becomes ridiculous.
If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always had ... in this case: Nuthin'.
I'm thinking the name here needs to be changed from Psycho Babble to Politico Babble.
I don't know why I expected more. I am rather disillusioned and disgusted with this forum.
Shalom, Dena
