Hang tough SAR2. Be strong in your convictions, and have faith. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Just a quick, drive-by post between kids' turns on the computer.

I received a response from the HR director about my email. Does this sound like a 'kiss off' or does it sound like they are taking my information seriously? I thought it was encouraging that it was sent less than 24 hours after I sent the information, but it doesn't say they will look into the matter or do anything about it. What do you think? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

The email:
"Dear Ms. Pebbles,

Thank you for responding to my email. I appreciate the time that you took to bring your concerns to [company]'s attention.

Sincerely,

****** ********
Sr. Human Resources Manager
Corporate Human Resources "

HR has t/b very careful in their response. The HR dept has given an acknowledgement of the info. That's all.

Can't really tell if they will do anything or not. But if they have a good HR dept, there s/b an investigation. A's are a big no-no when caught. EEs trust is compromised and this has been proven in recent news coverage. So HR depts are likely to pay more attention to these kinds of info than in the past. Another reason for their being cautious is they do no really know who you are as a trusted source. While you are telling the truth, they don't know that and have to work from that premise.

Be patient.

take care,
L.

Thanks, Orchid. I haven't had much experience with the workings of human resources departments (none, in fact). I do hope they at least consider the information I sent. I know they have no way of knowing if I'm some crackpot or not. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I probably won't ever hear anything about it, unless my mother-in-law calls me to yell at me for my "lack of character" again. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I was wondering what had happened to the letter to HR. It's a rather ambiguous reply. I guess yuo'll just have to sit back and watch if there will be a fireworks display again!

After spending my entire day dealing with Human Resources people, including a VP that berated me up one side the wall and down the other, I cannot say what your HR person will do with the information. A GOOD (from my perspective that's kind of an oxymoron - at least for today) HR person would not give you any information at all other than the response you already received with a statement that your allegations will be investigated and, if warranted, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. I know, not what you wanted to hear - actually not what I would want to hear either, but after today, well.....

Hi, Ashley. With my luck with exposure so far, there probably won't be much more than a sparkler, if there are any fireworks at all. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Brit's Brat, I don't know if it makes any difference, but I'll post the original email I received after I first contacted HR about an affair between an employee and a business customer.

The email:
"To Whom it May Concern:

Your recent email was forwarded to me for investigation and response. At your earliest convenience, please forward to me the relevant details so that the Company can investigate your allegations. Thank you in advance for your time.

Sincerely,

******* ********
Sr. Human Resources Manager
Corporate Human Resources
[Company], INC."

After I received the above email, I sent information about the names of those involved, dates, places of employment, etc., then I received the ambiguous, noncommittal email posted before.

Based upon my experience, I suspect they are investigating, but you will never find out from them. Theoretically (I say that because some HR folks - even has high as VP level) don't understand they should not be discussing personnel investigations/issues/discipline outside a very close, "need to know" circle. (Please excuse my negativity, its been a VERY bad day at the hands of some very ruthless Human Resources "professionals" - AHHHHH corporate politics is such a wonderful thing -NOT!)

Hope that helps....

A very downtrodden BB.

Thanks, Brit's Brat. I appreciate your insight. It sounds like you had a very long day. I hope you get to relax and take it easy now. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Okay, people! There is no nudity allowed on my thread!! Especially with visuals!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

He wasn't REALLY naked...just took NOTHING with him, and we took it a step further just for the fun of it.....hehehe. All I know is the dog ran toward ME and into the house. Some things really are just TOO tough to imagine...even for a PUP!!!!!!

SAR2

SAR2, I know, I was just funnin' with ya. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I just have too good of an imagination...and I've been alone a long time. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Hi, Pebbles.

I spent 11 years in 'high level management' before I started my own business almost 20 years ago.

In all likeliness, they won't fire anyone directly because of the affair. The sentence I suggested that you add, let them know that exposure to the media was a possibility.

No one that mattered misread that.

What they will do is find another reason to terminate employment. I would bet money on that.

Please stop worrying. Just because things are tough on you doesn't mean that everything will always work against you. Expect good things. They can and will happen, even to you <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

God bless,
Gimble

LOL.. you're not the only one, Pebbles. My exposure has gone as flat as drainwater too!!

Then, I guess you don't know what you don't see???

Things may start churning with that HR letter.. so who knows huh?

~A

bump this post up <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Thinking of you Pebbles....have a "letter" of my own to send if necessary...looking more and more like it will be. I did put the "media" statement in there because that always gets the attention of those higher-ups. I know you were kidding me about the "visualization!"

Have a good weekend....
SAR2

Hi, Gimble.

I used to be so optimistic, almost the pollyanna type. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> And after working with children for so many years and being complimented on my patience, being patient is so difficult now! It is so hard just to wait and wait, without any indication that anything is happening. I feel so powerless. Aaaagh!

It's as if WH has disappeared off the face of the earth. I guess I should be relieved? It does make Plan B easier for me to execute. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Ashley, I think my exposure to WH's parents actually made it easier for him to bring MOW out in the open. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> At least I know MOW's parents were not pleased, but I have no idea if it has had any effect on the affair.

True. I guess we can hope that the doodie is hitting the fan behind the scenes somewhere. I have read stories here about people who found out months later that exposure had an effect. It's just so hard not knowing, isn't it? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Hi, SAR2.

I wish I would have had the information available to expose to MOW's parents and her employer earlier. I think it might have had more effect. In other words, try not to wait too long - strike while the iron is hot, get while the gettin's good, and all those other cliches, LOL.

I hope you have a good weekend, too. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Pebbles, You have done a great job with all of this. I absolutely and truely believe that things do not always happen randomly. Don't second guess yourself. Who knows if exposure to OW parents had happened earlier before her halo began to tarnish it would have made them bond more by being cast out from her family.(like Romeo and Skankasor) Maybe the delayed exposure caused extra pressure on an already strained fantasy is what it takes for reality to crash in.

In the mean time keep doing what you are doing. You will be better off in the long run.
