Seriously, no need to get too upset. The thread was over 2 years old; it asked how management can find ways to be more supportive and inspirational. I jokingly discussed a policy that is part of the culture of the military and applied it to UPS - it was rather obvious (at least to me) as my last line said "UPS does have a "don't ask, don't tell policy, right?"
Obviously there is no such policy at UPS. And, of course, someone had to start venting and making it an issue. To which I responded (bad Lynda, bad). The truth is I am more than one dimensional, I am super cool, too. Most of my friends think so. But, the sad fact remains, even in 2008, there still isn't a place at the table for all of us - evident by calling me an "it". C'mon - that was totally lame. But I did it back - (Bad Lynda, Bad).
The 'don't ask don't tell' policy is totally ridiculous but that is another conversation for another day. So, dannyboy, go back to speaking about what you're good at - the things that make life enjoyable for you at UPS and elsewhere. I enjoyed parts of the dialouge between us; and by all means, post some concerns under my irrelavant and obnoxious thread 'life after brown' it would be good to have you on the show.
