Your Other 8 Hours: 3 steps to prepare for the next disaster

As a “sudden wealth” financial planner, I take great pride in helping others determine where they are going and how to get there. I consider myself an eternal optimist. In my mind, the glass is not half empty or half full — it is well on its way to becoming full. People are generally good and do what is right. On the other hand, I’m also a realist, looking not only at the destination but rather at all of the things that can go wrong along the way.

Q. I have an employee that treats “no” as little more than a speed bump. He just goes faster and pretends I didn’t say anything. Also, if I give him an inch on any policy, he figures the policy doesn’t even apply. I have had repeated conversations where I point out the rules; he smiles and then does what he damn pleases. How do I get him to toe the line?

According to studies by the American Medical Association, more than 3.2 million youths experience “moderate” or “serious” bullying. In my case, it started as early as I can remember.

I can recall saying to one classmate in kindergarten, “Listen, this is my playground kid,” as I held a pointy object to his neck.

Editor’s note: Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the family of Everett High School student Dalia Carpenter who committed suicide, a tragedy family and friends have blamed partially on cyber-bullying.

Also Christine Keith, 37, lost her life along with her teenage son Isaac Miller,14, in a domestic violence crime.

Adults bully too.
