I personally would not post my wife's employment problems with a local government employer, especially when I display where I reside next to my post.
My wife doesn't work in our town, and I am being intentionally vague about her employer or which of the half dozen surrounding cities they may be located in. That is irrelevant. I'm not trying to call out the organization or any of the people who work there. My wife has enjoyed the work she does and we have benefited greatly from her time there.
Sure, with a little digging anyone could identify me and trace it back to her employer, but why? I'm expressing MY thoughts about what could happen. This may or may not agree with my wife's views.
Remember, I'm seeing this whole situation from my wife's perspective. After more than 35 years together I like to think I have a fairly good grasp of her character and dedication, but I'm only hearing one side. She may act different at work than she does at home. I don't feel the actions being taken are justified, but that's just my view looking in from the outside.
In any case, there are a whole series of steps that would need to occur before she would be terminated. It is highly unlikely that would happen, and even if it did I suspect it would be a long process, at which time we may be in a better position to retire. The point is just the "threat" of losing her job at this late point in our lives is scary, and really makes me think about what options we may or may not have. It's just a wake up call that life may have other plans than we do.
As for the "Take no S**T" recommendations, we didn't get this far by bailing when things get tough. Is it difficult to see my wife upset after a particularly rough day, absolutely, it breaks my heart. But I trust her enough to let her make her own decisions. When SHE reaches a point that she wants out, I'll back her up and we'll figure out a way to make it work. I'm not going to make the situation worse with some kind of manly macho attitude.
This too shall pass. They've made their point, we'll adapt and move on. There's no reason to run for the hills unless this issue progresses further. As with most things in life, we will cross that bridge when we get there. The longer we can stick it out, the better it will be for our future.
