Hello Todzilla,

Difficult work situations are trying and they tax our spirits. I’m sorry you’re going through something like that.

If I may offer this comment: The webmaster is a master of her own life, her own successes and failures, as the rest of us are masters of our own lives. She is choosing to view the situation as a personal attack rather than an opportunity to learn and grow, both personally and professionally. That is her choice. Unless and until she is able to calm her mind and spirit sufficiently to see and hear what you are presenting, she will be resistant to anything anybody says.

It sounds like you’ve exercised compassion and empathy by trying to reason with her. That is the most you can do; the rest is up to her. If she does not comply with the ultimatum set by the CEO and HR director, then she must deal with the consequences on her own. It’s a hard thing for a compassionate person to witness but again, she is the master of her own life.

I hope this helps a little. I wish the best for both you and the Webmaster.

With warm aloha,
Aliamanu
