I know what the letter is without even clicking the link and I agree.

Yeah. I didn't have to wade through all 1,300 responses to see where that was headed. She can't make that one go away and the boss will never look at her the same. Good god.

This letter did not end up where I thought it would. My jaw literally dropped. I know right?! I thought it was going to be a sort of mild faux pas like OP accidentally implied the boss's daughter was ugly. When it got to what she actually said, I was like WHOOOOOA holy cats. |

I used to do a play on the "No way Jose" and say "No way Jorge (Hor-hey)." My 15 yo daughter was trying to be cool, and slipped and told her English teacher,"No way, you whore." She never lived that one down.

That was what I thought too, with all of the descriptors of how beautiful the daughter supposedly was, I was sure it was going to have something to do with the OP thinking she wasn't actually that pretty and somehow letting that slip out. |

Here's an update to the Ask Amy column about the woman who was thrown in front of a moving car by a co-worker, then harassed about coming back to work. www.askamanager.org/2017/04/update-employee-wont-come-back-unless-her-coworker-is-fired.html#comment-1466111Liz hasn't filed a lawsuit yet, but the company was told by their legal and outside legal that she has a strong claim. She also had to get a lawyer to send a cease & desist letter to stop the company and Jack from contacting her. The LW still doesn't seem to get it that the woman was badly injured by no fault of her own, then harassed about undone work. I hope she sues and wins. #TeamLiz |

#TeamLiz, too. The fact that she seemed to want to leave quietly and commenters were still going on and on about her unreasonable demands really disgusted me. Sorry to be "That Person" but it seems like a classic case where women are expected to be nice, polite little shock absorbers for male emotions. (I actually don't think Jack needed to be fired per se but I think there's a way to express that without painting Liz as some evil drama queen.)

I think if they had fired Jack, they'd have reasonable cause. He put a co-worker in harm's way just to save himself. I mean, if birds are so scary, his why wasn't his instinct to protect Liz from the bird instead of shoving her into a moving car? And then he didn't even try to help her (again because the bird was so scary) nor did he immediately apologize. He just had his doctor write him an excuse... again for causing a fellow human being bodily harm. Not someone I'd want on my team if I were his employer. They're super lucky Liz didn't sue them- esp. after they tried to harass her into coming back and finishing the projects she'd been working on.
