		<description><![CDATA[&quot;No employee would get a fair shake from someone like that.&quot;

You sure, Natalia? You sure that remarks about dominating women and women taking over wouldn&#039;t concern you if they came from your male supervisor? Especially if you heard him and another male employee talking about it? You wouldn&#039;t wonder if  a gender agenda could affect your chances for advancement etc.?
NOW would be looking to sue.]]></description>

No employee would get a fair shake from someone like that. 

With women - this person used the gender card.

With men - this person used the gender card, only she flipped it over.]]></description>

That sort of  us versus them thinking might suggest what her &quot;qualifications&quot; were. Any guesses whether a male employee would get a fair shake from her?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(Hi, Natalia!)

According to the manner-place-time rule for postverbal prepositional phrases, I actually think Natalia was correct, even though lexically/semantically you do have a point. She certainly wasn&#039;t unclear, though; &quot;for at least two months&quot; couldn&#039;t be the direct object without a defining article.

My God, I&#039;m even annoying myself right now.

And this sentence isn&#039;t the point, anyway, heh. Don&#039;t you wonder how people who are so incompetent got to managerial positions in the first place? Is it all nepotism, or are they promoted by other morons, or what?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, that&#039;s a lot of complaints to absorb, but first off:  
    &quot;Don’t pay them for the time they suffered with you for at least two months.&quot;

You are stating that you were not paid for two months that you worked. That&#039;s hard to believe, unless you are an illegal immigrant and afraid to call authorities. I have been an employee and an employer and the one complaint (to the local labor board, a phone call away) that invokes an *immediate* response is a charge of unpaid labor. It&#039;s really a heartwarming sight to see how quickly a labor board will correct that, and with almost draconian measures. (They will actually freeze your employer&#039;s bank accounts.)  Believe me, if you worked two months without a paycheck (that&#039;s incredible in itself, what were you thinking?)  you have easy recourse. Have you actually tried to get paid?]]></description>
