That is why I try to give everything a second glance when I feel my blood begin to boil. Shocking and sensational emails cannot be trusted and when the subject is researched, nine times out of ten the facts are false. It is getting more and more difficult to know what information can be trusted and what information is missing "the rest of the story".Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-56871287675020982432011-10-18T17:00:53.321-05:002011-10-18T17:00:53.321-05:00My gut reaction is, "How dare they not let th...My gut reaction is, "How dare they not let this man wear a US flag on his lapel!" When I sit back and think about it, if he knew the rules of the hotel, he shouldn't have taken the job. Imagine how it would look if ANY pin were to be allowed to be worn and how it would reflect on the hotel. I can't blame them for banning them all.cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-67340368413289312652011-10-18T06:04:14.198-05:002011-10-18T06:04:14.198-05:00Ralph – It is only by accident that I come across ...Ralph – It is only by accident that I come across something like this and once my blood starts to boil, there is not stopping me. Looks like I need blinders, ear plugs and a gag.<br /><br />Riot Kitty – So tell us about your reporter days. I’m glad you’re not one either – unless you could change the way other reporters do things.<br /><br />LL Cool Joe – Just like my husband says, “If you never lie you will never have anything to hide.”<br /><br />Ancient one – I’m glad someone else saw the item in the news. Notice how the press flaunted it all day then dropped it and moved on to the next sensational item they found? Somehow I believe your goats would feel the same way we do.<br /><br />Susan Adcox – You are so right. Can’t you just see the employees that would have to have assistance walking with all the labels and pins they could put on their uniforms if the policy allowed it for one person. You are also right about the broadcast media being the primary source of drivel. What news magazine do you feel is most trustworthy these days? It seems the Washington Post is actually becoming more fair and balanced these days.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-47206488269570512172011-10-17T08:03:46.032-05:002011-10-17T08:03:46.032-05:00When an employee knows the rules, breaks the rules...When an employee knows the rules, breaks the rules and refuses to stop breaking the rules, what choice does an employer have? If this employee is allowed to wear his flag, other employees can display the flags or emblems of their choice, and they might not all fit in with the philosophy of the hotel. <br /><br />I've stopped watching the news. Instead I read a major news magazine and a major newspaper. I still sometimes disagree with what is written, but it is usually written in a respectful way. Not true of the broadcast media any more.Susan Adcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15784113588273475714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-41089267660775007282011-10-16T20:31:47.198-05:002011-10-16T20:31:47.198-05:00I saw that tv report and feel the same as you.I saw that tv report and feel the same as you.ancient onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12996555276368371467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-28430117915742690892011-10-16T18:24:29.110-05:002011-10-16T18:24:29.110-05:00I try to avoid the news too, but I do read a newsp...I try to avoid the news too, but I do read a newspaper. I just feel out of touch without it, but I do realise how much the truth is distorted. I have first hand experience when my partner ran a TV company and got caught up in some bad publicity. The lies that were written are unbelievable. Fortunately my partner had nothing to hide.LL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-3798631738876008072011-10-16T16:59:35.177-05:002011-10-16T16:59:35.177-05:00I don't miss being a reporter.I don't miss being a reporter.Riot Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725825736285347870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-13020535154787769462011-10-16T12:53:54.368-05:002011-10-16T12:53:54.368-05:00I agree with everything already said here.
