Guest guest Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 > - it's usually the insecure, slightly off > person that targets me If 2 of the 3 give glowing references and the third is different, then the problem is with that third person, not with you. At least you know not to give that person as a reference next time. Work places are getting more and more difficult with all of the back stabbing and meanness. Mercury has so many symptoms and the severity is so different in different people and with time that it's hard to pin point exactly where mercury ends. In general I find that we have developed mechanisms to compensate for our mercury, but it will catch up with us eventually, like it did with me. At the point I am at now I really don't think I could survive a workplace. Hope better days are ahead.
