Double Standards

Everybody sees whats happened. There are always some things in HQ that Robert should go to, but he doesn't get asked to join. He only got a token invitation to that meeting. He won't be joining anything that gets him seen or heard or heard of. He can do chemistry and auditing and writing and consulting and keep being a support resource, and most everybody will depend on him but nobody will give credit openly or reward. Other people will take credit, though. Nobody thinks that all those business developers tell clients that he is the resource. Graham Lees does not care about him except to use his skills, and Huntley doesn't care about him at all except to keep him invisible. Huntley claims to be here for the executives. It's just easier for them to do nothing and let Robert twist in the wind than to do something, while men like Kaylor, Johnson, Deslatte and Wrezenski are protected or promoted and McCulloh gets a 17% raise. Rose isn't going to say oh, I was having fun, but me and my husband decided I shouldn't be, so we had to hurt somebody. Is Lees going to say oy, I let Bob get screwed so I wouldn't get anything on me. Huntley isn't going to say yeah, we handled this wrong, but we can't admit it, so we have to sacrifice the man to save face, and we'll keep it quiet and out of sight and maybe everybody will forget. Robert might be blamed for writing this himself, even when its impossible for him to blog, and if they don't blame him, they will say its a disgruntled employee with an ax to grind. Nobody is disgruntled, its just decent people that know how wrongly he was treated. The company stays in denial that their bad decision could stir up so much resentment. I wish Robert would unleash his lawyer. What the company did to him is the kind of injustice that the Houston Press writes about, and they would love to have this one.
