my gf hates her job and is getting poo poo on and it's really bad and she wants to quit (without having a new job) and in my mind that's the worst idea ever but I've also never been a woman in a STEM field being disrespected by less-qualified dudes so I can't fathom how stressful it is

if anyone has any advice I'll pass it on, also any job offers in like, energy management and quantitative energy analysis

Yeah this is more like she is a PM and a guy did a really lovely job and she reprimanded him and tried to give him guidance a bunch but he just hosed off and missed deadlines. A manager gets involved and the dude is like "oh she was a bad PM and she didn't tell me anything was wrong or give me feedback" and she's like "well that's just a straight-up lie and here's all of the evidence and correspondence proving that" and the other dude managers are like "let's not be hasty, is it possible that YOU hosed up and this is all your fault?"

And she's not even asking that he be fired or anything just like "this guy is not a good worker and I don't want him on my projects" and he cries that she's being mean to him and they're like "now now, you should give him a sixth or seventh chance" when male PMs who say "I don't want Jeff on my project anymore" the boss is like "oh okay, I'll put him on this one" and no one second-guesses or makes them prove their case

Also some poo poo like "I know you want to avoid talking about it but we WILL be having a meeting about this" and just condescending rear end in a top hat stuff which may or may not be rooted in sexism vs. just being a garbage person

there's a guy who wrote a blog post about the berkeley guy, and he starts off with a discussion of what it's like to be conned and how people get conned

In my case, if I had overcome my shame to report my con artist, I likely would have had the charge reimbursed and the company investigated. But I seriously doubt that the person on the other end of the phone at the consumer protection agency would have asked, "Are you sure you didn't lead the con artist on?" or "Oh, I know him. He'd never con anyone!" or "You know what, we need to keep this quiet. I think the best approach is for me to have a private conversation with the con artist to clear things up."

exactly. trent penned the song at the nadir of his addiction, his youthful self involvement collapsing into itself. johnny sang the song as an old man looking back and regretting the people he hurt and recognizing the foolishness of his own youthful self pity. "crown of thorns" is kind of self aggrandizing and silly on its own, but coupled with "on my liars chair" it neatly underscores johnny's take on the song
