New Recruit Hasn't Done Anything

[pampchefsarah]

I have to agree with Keith. How do I say this so I don't offend anybody. OK, its 2010, get over it. Does the fact that she isn't married have anything to do with her efficiency as a PC Consultant? Do you feel that she's going to hell and as your recruit, you're afraid of getting to close to the flames as they envelop her?

I'm disappointed that this is an issue for anybody. Much less anybody's business.

Perhaps you can order a special denim Pampered Chef apron for her and have it embroidered with a 5" tall scarlet "A"?

Sometimes I wonder about some of our Consultants. Sometimes I just wonder.

Sarah, I don't think you either read the entire thread or understood what I was saying. The parenthetical comment in the original post was narrow-minded and not necessary. I was merely pointing out how some comments are inappropriate and have nothing to do with the subject at hand.

I specifically chose what I wrote to wake some people up. Do I think Christians are ignorant. Of course not. I used that comment merely as an example of how hate is spread in a supposedly innocent manner.

I'm glad you're agreeing to not assume that all gays are pedophiles. Its an inaccurate statement, law enforcement statistics don't back it up, and it would be a sign of mis-placed ignorance. Bravo to you.

I did read the entire thread, and I don't think there's any way to misinterpret your original post. You made your opinion quite clear. If the OP found it necessary to include this information, than she must consider the recruit evil. Is that somehow not what you meant?

To answer your question in your original post - yes, I think the OP was stating the fact this woman is unwed would affect her efficiency as a PC Consultant. I think that was her entire point. Not because the recruit is evil, or a bad person (think about it - the woman was pregnant when she signed; the recruiter had to have known this, and known she wasn't married, yet felt comfortable signing her, so this was obviously not a matter of judging her as an adulteress!). The effect it would have on her business was that she may not have anyone to take care of the baby so she could go out and do shows, and since she didn't line up any catalog shows, her business was going to be at a standstill, and she would very likely become inactive at best, and completely lose her business at worst.

The little parenthetical comment required some reading between the lines - my belief is that you and Keith read between the wrong lines, jumped to a conclusion, and you judged worse than that of which you were accusing the OP.

Sarah, I believe that had the OP meant that there would be nobody at home to take care of the child while the recruit was doing cooking shows, she would have said that directly. Rather than implying something that was open to interpretation.We are each entitled to our own interpretations of the motives behind the original post. Lets leave it at that.

I won't be at conference. The timing was bad this year .. right in between what would have been my 41st annivesary and the first anniversary of my partner's death. I wouldn't be good company and I certainly am not in the party mood.But next year for sure.
