I had a funny feeling he was a Witness... and now I need help.

im in a bit of a bind and im not quite sure what (if anything) i can do about it.

i was recently hired as a business consultant for a rather large company.

the company that hired me mentioned that they are concerned about a certain department and the way its being run, as this department affects every other department in the company.

Shadow, I think the OP allowed himself to relate too much to the guy based on the common background and it likely just made him uncomfortable-wanting to help the guy cause he knows where he is coming from and why he is kind of weird and a bad fit. It distracted him from his (I assume) normal perspective and frame of reference since he knows the "whys".

Everyone is right though. The performance review doesn't need toknow the whys-they need toknow the problem and how it has been addressed. The HR guy is not cut out for his job and should be re-assigned to something he is successful at (and it is clear that he must have been good at something toget that position) or should get some intensive training in leadership (which is a good idea for any new management w/o any good background or training in leadership).

I wish the OP and the employee well. We ALL know the weird JW's. ...most of us used to BE them. We gotta root for these guys cause statistically speaking, they are likely to be out someday too and trying to make a new life without normal friends or the dubious support of their WT associates. They have a rough row to hoe!

note what happens below about age 30. print media reading pretty much vanishes.. .

i don't think jw.org is going to amount to much of anything, cash wise.. .

JWdaughter

They probably read it and that isthe reason for JW.(b)org

Unfortunately for THE BORG, a whole lot of stuff is at ones fingertips with a computer or IPAD or smart phone. The WT is screwed.I am sure they will come up with a proprietary web service of some kind to try to control it, but that ship has really sailed. Even in Pakistan and Arabia it iseasy to bypass censors on computer networks. hahhahahahahah

hey everyone.. i'm trying to convince mrs.objectivetruth to join the forum, but she's a bit nervous.

perhaps if you all can give her some words of encouragement, it will convince her to join the jwn family... btw she already knows ttatt.. she's just not convinced to join the forum..

JWdaughter
