Millennial Writer Cries at Work, Puts
Mother on Speakerphone after Editor
Corrects Her Spelling

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 7/16/2019 8:05:05 AM

How does a boss manage a worker who believes their feelings trump reality, right down to the way she "feels" about her misspelled words? Gently. And probably badly, even though that's no fault of the boss in question. Carol Blymire -- a "communications and public policy executive, branding consultant, professor, writer" -- took to Twitter on Friday to tell the story she overheard of a young writer, probably "in her late 20s," going over edits with her boss. (Snip) What issue caused mentor and student such agitation and aggravation? Had the boss been needlessly cruel? Had the young writer pushed some radical agenda, and was refusing to tamp it down

I read this as it unfolded on Twitter. I don't know what was more disturbing, the whip Millennial or the co-worker who shared the episode on public domain.

I wonder if this is made up? I hope so. If I was the manager, that woman would have been fired immediately.

I had a similar experience with some millennial relatives on FB. I chided one who was being absolutely absurd and inappropriate with the vulgarity. I said it was not convincing anyone of their argument and the sign of someone who was low rent and not raised right. The firestorm I was hit with was unbelievable; mostly consisting of misspelled words and fbombs from strangers. I'm no prude. I've spent plenty of time in factories, barracks and locker rooms. I'm no stranger to such language and have used plenty myself. That doesn't mean it is appropriate for public consumption. Every other word does not have to begin with an F.

Reminds me that some teachers have been admonished for using a red pen to correct homework assignments and tests. Apparently the color red is 'mean' and 'startling' for precious Millennials.

Q: How much is 2+2 A: 5 Teacher: Close enough! If that snowflake went to her boss's boss, she would be fired. My son fired a worker who kept coming in always a half hour to hour late. When he discussed it with her, she said, that's the way we did it at Princeton. That did not go over well. She too, was crying on her way out.

If a man can call himself a woman because he feels like one (or likes dresses), why can't a professional writer spell a word incorrectly because she wants to? This is what she's been taught: whatever she thinks or feels is right, and no absolutes exist. For anything. See what we've done?

It truly is a shock to the psyche to be confronted with the reality that what you accepted as right and true, and internalized, is wrong. That fragile little thing’s mother betrayed her in not preparing her to accept justified criticism in the real world.

I could crawl under the porch at the embarrassing memory of the time I stuck Webster's Dictionary under my wonderful boss's nose to show him I had spelled a word correctly. Then I slammed the dictionary down on my desk. He calmly walked over to my desk and quietly said, ''There are two books that are shown our undying respect. One is the Holy Bible the other is any dictionary of our precious language.'' Then he went to lunch. I went into eternal shame at the thought of what I had done.

I used to work in HR in a law firm in the late 1980's and hired potential legal secretaries, testing applicants' spelling, grammar, etc. I started to notice that young ladies that graduated in the late '70's and '80's had test scores on spelling and grammar that were significantly lower than women my age and even 10 years younger than me. As time went on and still younger women came in scores got worse. And it wasn't just the computer age, we were still using a main frame computer system, desktops didn't come until late 80's early 90's. It was the public education system! And what's not learned in public school can be attained by reading, reading something other than romance novels or Cosmopolitan. These young ladies were even then woefully prepared for the real world. I wouldn't be surprised if this Twitter story was truthful.

We have abandoned absolutes and it is biting us in the figurative backside with enthusiasm. There is no authority to look to for guidance as everyone is their own little arbiter of right and wrong. Young people are weak, soft and have been brainwashed to believe the world should be fair. In the past, children learned that life is not fair. Anything worth doing is probably going to be hard, and you learn from failures much more than from your successes. These young people have been done such a disservice by their parents and others. The School of Hard Knocks is going to have to serve as their grad school because if they don’t grow up, they will fail as workers, spouses, parents and human beings. Sounds like this young lady needs to apply immediately. Parents if you care about your children, let them fail in the little things while they are young and they will learn that life is not fair. The best lessons in life are the ones you learn the hard way. They build character, determination and, self-confidence.

About 20 years ago, I worked for a software company. The owner had prepared several pages to be sent to the customers. I found errors in it. My immediate boss was not in that day. I didn't want the errors to go to the customers. At the end of the day, I took the papers and my corrections to the owner. He calmly said 'Constructive criticism is always appreciated.'

This story reminds me of my first day as a cub reporter on a daily newspaper. My editor pointed out a word I had misspelled and told me to look it up in the dictionary (yes, I’m that old). I couldn’t find the word in the dictionary and couldn’t figure out why. He pointed out that was because I was pronouncing it wrong. The word was “memento,” which I had always pronounced “momento.” That word stuck in my head and over the years I’ve noticed that so many people also pronounce it incorrectly.

When my kids were in early elementary school, I talked to a teacher friend who said she "loved" to see misspellings because it means that kids are being creative, and writing about things beyond their spelling lists, or something. Okay. That's probably all right--up til middle school (at the latest.) At some point the little snowflake in the article needed to be held accountable and taught that she isn't always right.

#7's post reminds me of one in the military in the 2000's. A young airman didn't like his annual performance rating. Rather than press on and try to do better next year, he told his wife. His wife was an airman on the Wing Commander's staff. She was pretty and blonde but none too bright. She stomped into the General's office and tried to get him to "fix it". The General called our commander, a colonel, and asked him if he knew his airmen were jumping the chain of command. The colonel was embarrassed and called the husband airman in for a chat. They say echoes of the "chat" are still reverberating through squadron HQ. Meanwhile the blonde wife was unceremoniously fired by the General and returned to whatever menial job she originally came from. The story is still told to new troops as a warning.

#33, you can bet she went to some "Ivy League" school for upwards of $50,000 a year. This is a common problem at every newspaper, monthly magazine, and major corporation in the U.S.A. I spent over 30 years handling claims for a very large property/casualty insurer. During the last six or seven years, I kept a copy of the Gregg Reference Manual at my desk, and had to pull it out about twice a week to show people the error of their ways. They confused "except" with "accept", "there" with "their", "your" with "you're", and amazingly enough, "ensure" with "insure". I had to tell a colleague (who had just gotten an MBA) that "denial" was the act of saying "no", whereas the way he spelled it - "denile" - was a bad way to name a river in Egypt. This problem went all the way up to upper management. Millenials, of course, are the worst offenders, because NOBODY ever taught them that they were wrong! We'll get our revenge when we land in nursing homes. We'll be able to write graffiti on the bathroom walls that none of the staff will be able to read: we'll write it in cursive!

I once had an employee who's mom called in to tell me he was quitting. He was in his mid 30's. Never did hear from him. I recently terminated a 23 year old young man who was told to deliver some equipment to a customer who was waiting on it and expecting it. When asked why he didn't deliver it he just waived his hand and said "Whatever"

True story, it just happened this week. We have 5 children, 4 are GenXers, the youngest is a millennial. (He's a bit younger than the others.) He moved back home a couple of years ago and since then, because we have not been well, he does most of the shopping. He claims he can't read cursive, so I've taken to printing out the shopping lists. Well, the other day, I had two lists, one for a fabric store (cursive) and another for Costco, he grabbed the wrong list. When he came home, I was kind of laughing and said when did you realize you had the wrong list. He said when he couldn't read it and asked a lady my age to read it to him, his smirk disappeared when I replied, 'I bet all she said to you was...'Millenials.'

Back in the 1980s, a colleague teaching in our graduate program corrected the grammar and spelling on a new student's paper. The student became irate, and said, 'my mother does all my papers.' And he dropped out of our program. And during my time as a Business School dean, a mother called me and said her son was in an 8 AM accounting class - that he was not a morning person, and she demanded I transfer him to an afternoon accounting class. I told her to come to the afternoon class, where there were forty students filling the forty seats, and point out to me which of the forty students that I should remove from the class, to make room for her son. She hung up.

Sadly these parents don't understand that they are doing their kids a serious disservice. By coddling them and wrapping them in cotton they are not teaching them the skills needed to navigate adulthood; nor are they teaching them resilience. At some point in their lives their feelings WILL be hurt probably more than once. I can guarantee it. Also eventually Mommy will be gone and will no longer be available to intercede on her darling's behalf. I know some lessons are hard to teach but they are well worth the effort if only so the rest of us can avoid all the mush minded millenial morons who will be infesting workplaces everywhere. Thankfully I'm retired but the last six months I worked I was responsible for training a millenial who had the attention span of a new born gnat. There were many days when I just wanted to smack him but luckily I was able to restrain myself! I can only imagine how employers will fare when millenials are all they've got.

You DO know that spelling words correctly is part of old white male privilege, right? Some old white guy wrote down his opinion as to how the word should be spelled and pronounced and that's what stuck. Now we have young brave radicals that want to have THEIR privilege. The problem is, they EACH want to have their privilege, meaning that there could be a hundred different spellings for the same word reducing the language to meaninglessness. Of course the millennials cannot foresee this problem or care. All that matters is their feelings. More and more people are being raised that have no critical thinking ability. There is a cry about the discrepancy between highly paid people and those not. The lack of the ability to think and therefore produce useful work is a root reason for that gap. The slackers are anchored on the bottom by their own absence of skill. The producers are continually rising. It's not surprising that the gap between them continually grows.

I wish #34 had cited a reference that says both spellings are correct. M-W indicates that in medical contexts it is also acceptable to pronounce it "hampster"; but the only acceptable spelling given for any context is "hamster". This story made me grimace, like it did for many others here. But it also made me smile, because it was the word that prompted me to learn to consult the dictionary in 2nd grade (49 or 50 years ago)... when I got dinged for spelling it with a 'p'.

Sorry Mom, we don't discuss personnel issues of employees with others due to confidentiality (I have had to actually say this before). The employee is then made to cry even more as we have a discussion about listening to your supervisor, this is not college or high school anymore. Also, there are a lot of other "writers" who would happily spell hamster without a P and would not argue about it. Is how a word spelled really worth losing your job?

Oh, yes OP! Language is sacred. The Word of God has created us all. Thus we need to be precise in our usage of words. We cannot communicate if we cannot agree on the definitions of words. That is something the Communists have used and still use to destroy the culture, distorting meanings to sow confusion. Spelling has always been difficult as in the past as we did not have so many books and interconnections to standardize the language. Once Webster got his dictionary into print spelling should have become fairly stable. Then some idiot 20th century Education School decided that spelling was secondary & not important. Now we have the younger generations who have no respect for the language and have been coddled to the point of mental illness. NB Jonathan Haidt & Greg Lukianoff's 'Coddling of the American Mind.' These kids have been encouraged by their parents & teachers to be weak, to be offended, & to be self-centered narcissists. Their manner of thinking is pathological in that they use cognitive distortions quite readily - and no one is disagreeing with their erroneous thinking patterns. They often jump to conclusions, catastrophize, use emotion rather than reason, blame others, use black & white arguments, etc. The result is that 20% of them are demanding more mental health clinics at the universities.

We can leave aside for a moment the question of whether these possible developments are justified or beneficial. All that need concern the analyst for the moment is whether they can be detected. They most probably can because their signal characteristics are strong enough to burn through any spin.
Mike Rowe: Everyone Is Essential 9 replies

Politicians have too much power over our lives. Many used the pandemic as another excuse to take more. Early on, politicians declared that they would decide who was “essential.” Everyone else was told to stay home. Much of the economy stopped. Millions were laid off. Then politicians relaxed the rules for industries that they deemed “essential.” “You can’t just call somebody essential without implicitly suggesting that half the workforce is not essential,” points out Mike Rowe, host of the surprise hit TV series, “Dirty Jobs.” That’s a big problem, says Rowe, because people find purpose in work. Now the Biden administration is eager to give money to people not working. It’s pushing

John Geddert's suicide was an "escape from justice" and "traumatizing beyond words," said Sarah Klein, a former gymnast who trained under the U.S. Olympic coach. Geddert died by suicide Thursday after Michigan authorities announced several charges against him, including human trafficking. Geddert was the U.S. Olympic coach for the 2012 team that won a gold medal in London with a team that included Jordyn Wieber, Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, Kyla Ross and McKayla Maroney. "His suicide is an admission of guilt that the entire world can now see," Klein, who is now a lawyer, said Thursday. Geddert had ties to Larry Nassar, the disgraced sports doctor who was convicted of

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

In an open letter released Sunday, Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden urged him to “honor his commitment” and include the Hyde Amendment in Democrats’ $1.9 trillion COVID-19 spending package, writing “we feel used and betrayed.” The letter states: We are very disappointed about the COVID-19 relief package’s exclusion of the Hyde Amendment, a longstanding bipartisan policy that prevents taxpayer funding for abortion.

If you had any doubts that Meghan Markle is a manipulative piece of work, her bombshell Oprah interview Sunday night dumping on the British monarchy would set you straight. Prince Harry’s American wife accused his family of hateful racism against her baby, claimed they refused to protect her and drove her to the point of suicide.She made the incendiary and implausible charge that when she was pregnant with Archie, the royal family decreed that her unborn son would be denied the title of “prince” because her mixed race meant he might have dark skin.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

President Biden on Monday seemed to forget Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s name at a White House event—calling the Pentagon chief “the guy who runs that outfit over there.” Biden was announcing the nomination of two female generals to lead US military combatant commands. “And I want to thank the sec—the, the, ah former general. I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.

The Royal Family was left reeling this morning after Meghan Markle tearfully revealed that the stress of royal life made her suicidal when she was five months pregnant, claimed Archie was denied the title of prince because he is mixed-race and said Kate Middleton made her cry before she married Harry in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.The couple also chose to reveal that they are having a baby girl to the tens of millions of people watching the CBS show broadcast in the US before accusing the Royal Family of racism and revealing the deep rift 'Megxit' has caused with Prince Charles and Prince William.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Without question, the vast majority of Americans who support former President Donald Trump were angry and frustrated throughout 2020 passed with barely a mention of then-U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation into the FBI’s fraudulent “Russiagate” counterterrorism operation directed at his 2016 campaign.In the weeks before the November election, word got out that then-Attorney General William Barr wasn’t going to announce any indictments or even a report on Durham’s investigation because he did not want to influence the outcome.So far, in fact, the only indictment to come out of the Durham probe is that of former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who essentially got a slap on the wrist

Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo! News’ Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI’s secret program to discredit civil rights activists. The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

“There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said –-no. But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
