Maybe she has another reason (her cousin wants a job?), but needs an excuse - any excuse. If you really want to try anything, I'd send apologies by mail, explaining what happened, how she took it, that it's a normal, regular term... and CC her boss. | |

Just because she's wrapped her own personal neuroses around a "worthy cause" doesn't mean she's worth putting up with. Just walk away. There are lots of opportunities for talented people to do work that helps underserved communities. Working for crazy people will leave you jaded and bitter, and then you have TWO people who aren't doing any good for anybody. | |

| Oct 23, 2015 at 15:18 | comment | added | Dave | Frankly she's the one with no empathy or critical thought capacity if she doesn't understand the different terms speech communities use. She sounds a little too unreasonable and haughty to understand this though, so I'd work for a non-profit that is not only committed to helping those in need, but can do it with some professional, intelligent, approaches and mature interaction. | |

| Oct 23, 2015 at 15:17 | comment | added | Martin James | Unfortunately, this contact crazy means to have the freezing-to-death homeless count increased by one. | |
| Oct 23, 2015 at 14:39 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | Ah, yes. Good point. Now we're talking! | |
| Oct 23, 2015 at 14:38 | comment | added | enderland | @LightnessRacesinOrbit if that's Ed's goal there are plenty of other organizations that would love his help. | |
| Oct 23, 2015 at 14:35 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | No, I certainly wouldn't want to. But "wants" aren't all there is to life; I may consider sucking it up and doing the work anyway if it helped 200 people not freeze to death overnight. | |
| Oct 23, 2015 at 14:35 | comment | added | enderland | @LightnessRacesinOrbit would YOU want to work for a client who distrusted you and wanted to get you fired after the first meeting over a basic terminology issue? I sure wouldn't. | |
| Oct 23, 2015 at 14:34 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | Mm... but this is a contract for a non-profit helping homeless people. I'm not sure it's particularly adult to walk away from such a noble cause over such a petty squabble. Helping the homeless doesn't always have to be beneficial for you. | |
