[quote=Anonymous]Right out of college I worked for a small nonprofit and I had a good relationship with my supervisor. Apparently my coworkers felt it was too good and had a lot resentment about it, which I was too young and clueless to pick up on at the time. We had a staff retreat with a facilitator who opened up a discussion about communication that turned into a free-for-all about how much everyone hated me because I was the favorite and one person actually accused me of sleeping with my boss (I was not). No one actually addressed him directly and throughout it all my boss sat there absolutely silent because apparently he had been told by the facilitator to be a silent listener no matter what happened and he was rule follower. It went on for almost 30 minutes before I finally realized I could just walk out and so I did. The next day he apologized to me and said he knew he had handled it badly but he also felt we had to leave it all alone and not address it with anybody because the retreat was supposed to be a "safe space." I gave my notice a week later.[/quote]
