I have unfortunately had my small taste of instances of myself reacting or responding to posts and other situations using social media and other online platforms.
This came to mind when on a social network group meant for employers and job seekers on Facebook
Upon further examination the original poster is running an organization that hires staff and employees.
Two instances of how they responded to feedback.
They do have a right to complain and express their concerns and opinions. I feel like this is not the appropriate platform to raise concerns of this nature especially with an organization that is writing these concerns.
Even if it was deeply negative and something that is quite true, there are times public shaming and giving someone the scarlet letter is not the way to go with expressing yourself in it’s entirety.
When people are very upset with their words, it’s often a very cautionary minefield that the person must traverse.
Words hold their own weight and power and are amplified with our behavior and culture. It is especially important to remember that our actions are always being measured especially in an online environment.
I will say this: there is justification in anyone feeling the way they do, it is that persons choice to realize what the appropriate time and place that would be.
My friends response directly with the proprietor of the agency is a way I would try to find some common ground and progress moving forward.
I leave it up to you, what do think about this particular situation?
