or maybe I should say I just cannot believe that some people really act this way or do things this way. I know a family that are involved in a “step-family” situation and the actions of some left me speechless. The step-dad died, the step-daughter emailed her uncle to let him know of the death but failed to notify her brother (his step-dad too) in any way. That’s right! no phone call, no email, Nothing!! His mom made no contact with him either. As far as I know, there has been no disagreement or any type argument between he and the mom or sister. This post is correct or was correct as of 10:00 this morning. I have heard nothing from him since.
How can family members cut off their nose to spite their face in this manner. Do they not realize that if you mistreat your family today, that tomorrow you may have to pay in some way or another. Maybe in just material things or it could possibly be the need of emotional support. In the long run, those that make others suffer needlessly always pay, sometimes a very high price.
Bottom line is: I guess some people would benefit a great deal from a detailed course in performance management.
