Fellow Members,
HR is a long-time poster, who happens to be a younger person. He asked for help.
We all know more about the world's workings when we are 18 that when we were 16. Missteps are common, inevitible. And that we learn more through experience when we become 21 over age 18. 25 over 21, 30 over 25 and so on. That's the way it goes. We have all went through that.
All threads are subject to humorous jibes - wouldn't have it any other way. He asked for advice, and got some good advice. As well as a lot of smarmy snipes.
But there are lines not to cross. Including the implying and branding with some sort of personal behavior, which can be very damaging with long-lived repercussions.
Like I said - HR is a long time poster here, and as such he deserves some loyalty, and an expectation to not unduly suffer cheap shots.
stuck.
