wren is mightier than grief.
as I have felt under attack, and I feel hurt by it.
For some reason, a group of people at work have decided that I have a “special relationship” with one of the employees and am therefore showing favoritism toward her. Earlier this week, one employee shocked me by verbally attacking me over this.
The ironic thing is that it is hard to imagine anyone trying harder than I do to be fair and equitable in all matters. That kind of thing is such a big deal to me. And three of the people who are involved in this gossip have recently received promotions and raises without even asking solely through my efforts on their behalf.
It has taken a lot of effort to keep my feelings from infecting my actions. I think I have managed to do it, though.
It is times like these, when emotions run high, that it is especially helpful to have higher principles guiding your actions.
