I am in awe of people like you who follow the lounge so fervently. Some day I will have nothing to do so that I can follow everything that was ever posted here.
Until then make sure you monitor the lounge so nothing gets posted that has been posted before.
We are all counting on you. It is a big responsibility. Don't let us down.

I am a manager, and follow the QA part to make sure that my reports don't post any confidential info. Occasionally come to the lounge too

Keep up the good work.
Don't let your manager see you in the lounge. It might be difficult to explain.
Oh wait, just say that you are making sure that your "reports" are not posting things that were posted before.

I'm sorry but I must come bact to visit this. I read your response yesterday and it has been bothering me ever since.
You refer to the people who report to you as my "reports".
That is a very demeaning way of referring to people, whether you respect them or not.
Obviously, you do not respect them as human beings, but some way of making you look good to your management.
These people, however you think of them, are human beings, not your "reports".
Please treat them as such.
I am happy I do not "report" to you.
I expect more consideration from the people with whom I work.
Notice, I said work with rather than whom I work for. They are essential to whatever endeavorer they are engaged in, regardless of who is in charge.
You, on the other hand, are disposable. Managers are an unlimited quantity. People who accomplish what is necessary are to be valued.

It was all in jest.
I am not a manager; just relinquished that post early this year. Am back as an individual contributor, don't have any direct 'reports'.
Also, I didn't invent the term 'reports' - this is the one which HR uses. Not sure whether it is an American / European term, since I've seen them being used in both American and European companies.
And, once again, sorry for posting the Leslie item. Apologies. Sorry for hurting you in any way.

Just a small word, if you don't mind: Please don't get bothered by things which don't need so much botheration. There are many more important things in life, than someone's comments on the Lounge.

When someone demeans people, regardless of the forum, I get insulted.
That is just my nature, and I refuse to be placated.

If it was demeaning, sorry again. Please forgive and forget.

Yes I will.
Please, in the future, refer to people with respect, regardless of your position.

It says "direct report" not "my reports".
Regardless of what others say you should hold yourself to a standard of human dignity.

I don't understand it. I click the link in your post, and then I click the box in the middle. But no matter WHAT I do, I still cannot enter the information.
What should I do?

The punchline might arrive before the set-up.

And while on the subject...[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
