[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel you are using the word "survivor" very liberally here.[/quote] What does this mean??[/quote] Just because someone goes through something not nice doesn't make them a survivor. It's annoying how this gets thrown around so much.[/quote] You're right, the word "survivor" shouldn't be used for people who have been through things that are merely "not nice". It's generally reserved for people who have been through truly terrible things, like sex abuse, cancer, and other horrors. OP, if I had reason to know someone had been abused before they interviewed with me, I don't think it would factor into my decision. On the other hand, if it came up in an interview or early on in an employer-employee relationship, I'd worry about boundaries and it would make me less likely to hire that person. [/quote]
