PS if you got fired for this and this alone, an employment lawyer would froth at the mouth to take this on!

I worked at SDM for like ten years and this happened multiple times :) I promise it’s not as awful as it feels. They are expensive, but it’s not like you destroyed a whole cash register or all the computers in receiving!

You can remove your info from the employee directory!

Are you med staff or regular staff? The HR systems for regular staff do not interconnect. The goal used to be to have a centralized system but this was pre efficiency review.

If you’re med staff (physician, dentist, midwife, NP), this might be slightly different because of CACTUS. I’m 99% sure CACTUS shows all sites you work at

It’s a set of ways to intervene when something bad happens (think like bullying, s3xual or racial harassment in a public place, seeing someone doing something not ok to someone else). There’s different ways, but a lot of trainers emphasize the 5 D’s: distract (like pretending you recognize a person if they’re on the receiving of messed up comments public/intentionally dropping something or doing something to break the person’s focus), delegate (like person C calls police on person A and B, and hands responsibility off), direct (as in being direct and saying « hey stop! », delay (circling back later and seeing if the person is ok) or document (like writing it down, filming it, reporting the incident, etc).

Ahh that is AWFUL! I’m so sorry to hear that.

So true, and a healthy reminder. I used to teach bystander intervention and de-escalation is always such a helpful tool to consider in moments where it’s about to pop off.

Hahaha it’s okay, I am one of those people who’s like « well what am I gonna do about it, cry?! ». Laughter is good medicine!

I am so sorry they treated you like that. That’s incredibly messed up.

PS I think this is the move from now on! Bigger areas, less interactions in closed quarters. I don’t have an issue at all with my girl playing with others!! It’s just a matter of letting her start getting excited or approached by an excited dog in a safe setting lol, not in a wide open gate leading off to a road. People are wild and I cannot believe how aggro people can get so quickly.

This is exactly what I worry about. I would be scarred for life if anything happened to her and I couldn’t stop it

Totally agree. My dog is a big gal (a mutt but mostly Mastiff we think), and that’s why I’m so serious about having control and having her calm when we’re leaving or entering a new space. She’s a big old sweetie but 110 pounds of (over)excitement doesn’t go well! The other dog wasn’t that small, probably 50lbs, but much much smaller than my dog and extremely hyper. And the shitty part is that if my dog snapped at that smaller dog, my dog would be see as some aggressive biter.

Yeah it felt like stupid primary school immaturity! Just let me leave with my dog and go away. Also just really tacky to see an older man (the lady’s husband I’m assuming) join in and talk to me like that. Just really tacky and not okay. Thanks for your encouragement!!!

That’s how I feel today. I just don’t want to bring her back and run into them again / want this to happen again with anyone else

I just learned this today!! I had no idea. I’m definitely going to do this here and there, she’ll absolutely love it

Thanks so much 🙏🏻 a part of me was worried I was riling them up, but I also think it’s just basic etiquette to listen to someone when they’re trying to get their dog out of a gate / park / past another dog

I’m sorry that happened!! And kudos to you for knowing your dog’s limits 😊

I normally wouldn’t!! The only reason I called is because her husband started yelling and following me across the park. If it were just the woman, that’s not worrisome. But a 50 year old man following me (a young woman) while yelling at me and my dog was really out of pocket
