Is anyone else so thrilled for Gabby? Not only is she heading to the finals but her team SWEPT the Aces!
Obviously still wish she was in Seattle, but the fans in the bay love her and she's playing great!
Listening to these were pretty insightful to how everyone is feeling after this first season. Hearing Awa say she needs to work on her physicality, Dom her confidence and Flau her poise was encouraging for next season!
Would be the following: Dolson, Zia, Jade, Thierry, Holmes. Horston's rookie deal will be over this season as well. I do believe the front office had plans to trade Ezi in the off season but will now have to figure out a new option.
Do we think any of these players will be brought back? Holmes, Thierry and Dolson seem like the obvious ones not being re-signed. I could see us keeping either zia or jade but not both. Jordan has so much potential but it's hard to say with her offense being so inconsistent.
I'm excited for the draft but oh lordy do we need to find a couple of solid vets and/or guards that can really distribute the ball proficiently.
Anytime I see a discussion on what other teams need/players to pursue it seems like Stef, Ezi or Jordan get floated. Obviously we need some upgrades ourselves, but I had assumed that we wouldn't make any moves besides development players this year. What do you all think? Do you see Raman making any roster moves?
Just typing this situation out makes me so tired. I'm the only woman on my crew.
My current job is one of the most challenging social dynamics I've ever worked in: negative, mean-spirited and unclear expectations. We also work rotating shifts so 2x12 hour days followed by 2x12 hour nights. It sucks.
I was an internal hire and decided to move to operators for better career opportunities and more money. I've been there about a year. In the first two months of my employment, a coworker made a rape "joke" and I spoke up about it. I tried to bring it up with the crew but got dismissed. It still bothered me and I spoke to two people I was friendly with who told others. Word got back to him that I had broken trust and he immediately started the silent treatment and refused multiple times to train me. I've attempted an apology with the offer of listening and bought him a cake I know he likes. Nothing has changed.
We have a new supervisor who was not here for the rape joke and has seen the tension. He changed our rotations so I'm not alone with him which I appreciated but the crew has essentially sided with him. They feel I hurt his reputation. They're all friends outside of work and I'm effectively ostracized. The training I get is slim to none and the feeling of being "tolerated" is wearing me down. We had a special project this past week and my supervisor was out. The lead put us to work together. He ignored my request to follow him/get trained and offered me no help or support even though I had never done it before. I ended up crying in front of the men we did shift changeover with because I'm just so frustrated.
I've been told the culture of my work is if you go to HR, you will be blacklisted and your reputation ruined. I've been there a year so I at least have that for my resume. The crew and my supervisor can all pretty clearly see I'm miserable and I've asked to be moved to a different crew twice. Both times it was dismissed as something we needed to work out or give it time. That was 5 months ago. I want to go to HR to ask to be moved but I'm scared. I work for the government, not private sector. Do you have any advice? I'm still excited to work in this field, just not with these particular men.
Thanks :)
