I've been sitting and staring at this blank page for a while now, whilst a whole range of emotions curse through my veins...anger, annoyance, disbelief and well you get the drift...
By this point in my career i pretty much think I've seen and heard it all, until this afternoon. Wake up Chermaine, guess you're still guillable! Haven't you learned your lesson about trusting people blindly? That black is never just black? And when someone says this is P&C and I will never breathe a word about this topic to anyone, in most likelihood the intention has already been there to disclose said information?....sigh!
So anyways, I'm sitting here reading this case file and thinking, what an eejit! Two colleagues involved in a he say/she say battle which solely isn't an issue between them but clearly involves at least 3 other external parties. One of whom is very quiet and the other 2 a little more vocal. In the entire problem involving 5 people, there seems to be an underlying thread whereby one of the 5 is clearly the catalyst. Now 5 individuals is a mega problem as this can be the downfall of an entire unit. Invasion of privacy issues are up in the air, cheating, lying...wow! and they say that HR is a boring job.
But as in any company, no matter which way you cut it, ultimately it is HR which is blamed for the problem. Lack of proactiveness, not chosing sides, not giving solutions that would aid and abet said individuals....tired, exhausted, overwhelmed, I once again wonder why I got into this profession. Wouldn't IT have been a safer bet? To deal with computers (non thinking, non feeling instruments) as opposed to humans (the so-called assests of an organization)
I'll shut down my computer in a while, close my office door and dig deep into my 15yrs of experience as to how I should handle this problem. Hey after all I did tell my Manager that I love case management. What's that saying now?? .... ah! Becareful what you wish for because it may just bite u in your arse....

Hmmm all this sounds vaguely (or not so vaguely) familiar. I've been having a great day so far and I think you would too, if you were out of the orbit of certain dark individuals. You've too much light for them Cherie...cast them off.
Haven't we all had those days. I've not any experience in HR but come across these kind of situations very frequently in my career as a college lecturer. I'm sure you have to Cherie. So deal with it the way you would a bunch of neanderthal college kids. . . coz mentality wise that's about where they're at.
Jenn: I am so trying but its proving to be tougher than i expected. Guess coz i'm in fighting mode and can't just let it go.
Tina: u said it...mentality wise the catalyst is no better than a neanderthal college kid.
