Why you blokes want to return to an age where being bullied at work was acceptable is beyond me.

There is no place for bullying in a workplace. It is detrimental to productivity. It is detrimental to staff moral. It costs companies money. There are no positives.

If you want to call me a soft utensil for wanting to work with adults who act like adults then so be it. Keep playing out your alpha fantasies on football forums, keep it away from your workplaces.

I agree that bullying is not acceptable, but we're talking about a guy whose role requires him to make numerous decisions each year which are then heavily scrutinised by media, members, supporters, other clubs, etc. I would expect you would need very very thick skin to perform that role successfully, so I can't cop that he would sue the club because Walshy called him a nasty name. Imagine if he read this board a few years back!

When you consider he was fired by North, then fired by Essendon, plus our comments in the statement about his health and wellbeing, I suspect Bryce has a few of his own issues that having nothing to do with North and how he perceives he was treated.

The NMFC is a male football club, and if some male tells another male to lift their game and they shatter in to a million pieces, they're a soft utensil.

Nah the world is ******* soft, too many people hide behind HR dep's or use PC as an excuse for not delivering on their job. I've been trying to get two campaigners retrenched for six months. They could s**t on the Directors desk and would be sent to the Doc's cause they may have a bowel disorder.

What annoys me the most is the length of time it has taken Bryce Lewis to do something about it. Is it because he couldn't find a equally paying job in the normal world he has now decided to claim damages? Weak any way you want to spin it.

That is a deplorable reply. Have you seen how many women work at our club? It is not a male football club. You might have missed we also have a womens team. Missed the work that Ben Brown does? NMFC is for all people, not just men

If a woman can't handle the rough & tumble of a male football club they should find a nice job in nursing.

"They used to call me mean names like Lice Brewis".



(I'm not condoning workplace harassment anyway with this joke, I find it abhorrent. I just always liked this meme).
 
Having seen first hand the work that nurses, both male and female, do I can guarantee you that there is more "rough and tumble" in their job than that at a football club.

Lol. Yes, I think if SB had his time over, he would have, maybe, suggested a Flower Shop instead....
