Justitia's Post; THIS IS INSULTING TO ALL OF US WHO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. WHY IS THE COMPANY SO AFRAID OF LETTING THE TRUTH OUT?

It was a reliable source that leaked that the company suggested that Robert should seek counseling to handle the effects of what was caused to him.

The company probably thinks that they are making a compassionate and kind and noble gesture.

The Dilbert principle is alive and well in our company.

To set up arbitrary conditions causing damage to a person and then offer to help treat the effects, when the right thing to do is to remove the cause, is insulting.

That is like hanging a big anchor on someone and then offering to help them learn to swim with it, when the right thing is to remove the anchor.

Almost as insulting is making us not talk about it. Is that to make it appear that everything is right or that what happened is right, or that nothing happened?

Just as insulting is setting somebody to watch Bob and report if he talks. That's more like Machiavelli than Dilbert.

Why is the company so afraid of letting the truth out? Is it just company ego? The company can't admit mistakes? You know an error isn't a mistake unless you don't correct it, so it looks like the company wants to make a mistake in the eyes of its employees.

There would be much less backlash if the company had done the right thing first.
