Very good video but I am left wondering how one finds their passion.

Agreed. And perhaps I will simply have to accept such timidity as a part of some people's nature.

What you call "softer phrasing" is what I consider rude and impolite. I put the opposed statements to indicate what the individual's true message was, since without it, you would not understand the context of what was being hinted. That would be considerably worse. How can statements which...

I don't want to get into semantics. I could find definitions which agree with my stated position and it doesn't really add anything to the discussion.

My guess for the second would be that it has to do with international law. I'm not sure about the first. Obviously it is misleading propaganda, but just about everything is nowadays, particularly if you watch the Republican candidate debates and hear all the half truths they spout out about each...

There are very few things that annoy me in communication as much as when people choose to hint rather than make a direct assertion. When a person wants you to change your behavior in some way, I find it very rude for them to choose hinting as their means of conveying that request...

I'm curious as to how people feel about political issues. I'm not so interested in their opinions but rather on their feelings. I find that often people present their opinions as facts, and as a result very little discussion can take place. Then it is simply a disagreement of who is right and...

This was the only individual who self identified as an INFJ with whom I have had extensive contact with off of the internet. Associating with her was not a pleasant experience. I wanted to explore these negative traits, which I had not observed in many other people, to see if they were type...

False. If you read back in the thread I reconsidered the MBTI type of my supervisor. I made one post in disagreement about how some people were characterizing task oriented people. Then I came under a verbal assault from Ms. Christmas. What is speculative about it? She is accusing me of...

Thank you. I appreciate it.

It's interesting, but I got a call tonight and found out the person who has taken over my position is now having the exact same issues I had with that supervisor. While I was there I had three different employees voice that they were having the same issues. I also described my situation in...

The team did the job. The problem was the team often wasn't doing the job the way the supervisor wanted it done. If that is what you mean by "properly" then could you explain to me how the team was supposed to accomplish what the supervisor wanted if she didn't communicate it clearly or she...

Actually, I started writing out everything I was going to do for the day and having her literally sign it. Her response was to single me out and write out my daily tasks on the staff room whiteboard where everyone could see them. This angered the others because as they said, "She is punishing...

All too often the problem was she would tell us to do things one way, and when we would later find out that was the wrong way to do it, she would have no memory that she was the one who told us that we had to do it that way.

A lot of what has been said about task oriented people bugs me. A task oriented person is not someone who needs to have their hand held and be guided through things step by step and they aren't people who are incapable of independent thought and action. It is simple. If there is a particular...
