Not a cult really..... a 'tight' grown up boys' frat club (ie boys, meeting places, rituals, etc) based on strong morals and ethics. Supposedly.
Yeah I read that online, they are meant to be kind and caring, not this dude at my work lol
Supposed to be kind and caring is total rubbish, though they do care about their 'community'. They are people like you and me (well... like me if I was male!). Being a freemason doesn't mean you can't be a downright bastard. They are not saints!
Your guy at work may have had an advantage over others in getting to his position through freemason connections but his attitude has nothing to do with freemasonry. He's just a mean bully. Freemason or not.
Had to wait until I got home from work to check out the link. This 'documentary' is really conspiracy theory type stuff (like National Treasure which sponsors it!), Da Vinci code type! Intriguing? Certainly. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find valid and truthful info. Keeping the brotherhood a 'secret' one, I guess.
Whether he's a freemason or not doesn't sound like the issue. The fact he's a bully IS the issue.
Mind your p's and q's , keep your head down and do what they're paying you.
And yeah , not taking his shit is my good in my opinion. Could get you fired but good none the less.
This is my advice exactly.
Do what you're told, but don't take shit from him. Respect yourself enough to stand up for yourself. No matter ho much money or how much of an egotistical power-trip this guy may be on, it doesn't make him better than anybody or put him in a position to condescend people.
Fortunately for him, he's in the right business. Corporations are gold-mines for double-crossing heartless fucks who will do whatever it takes to increase their salary.
I hope that once my degree is finsihed I can wave goodbye to this corporate work-life and maybe enter into one that isn't SO "fake".

hopefully there are no HR reps here on the board but if so, I'm sorry if I offend you with my next comment:
ALL HR reps are assholes. I have yet to meet an HR representative that is actually nice. I even once had one tell me that transferring my position wouldn't be possible and my girlfriend wasn't worth moving for her. :shock:
Seems to be pretty far from the ideal human resource representative, eh?
Anyways, sorry for the rant, but I think HR is the biggest crock of horse shit ever.

Freemasonry is quite complex to research and understand. The brotherhood itself is not the complex bit, but there is so much incorrect info and urban myths all over the place that it makes it difficult to sift through stuff. There is a huge myth surrouding the Freemasons, created by us 'non masons' but also, I think, perpetuated by the freemasons themselves over the centuries.
what happened to william morgan when he crossed the freemasons?

they sure are, i worked at a place and signed up for health insurance, which they started taking out of my check. about 2 months after paying i finally got around to having an exam...i get there and they tell me they called the insurance provider and they have no record of me...called hr and they said they would fix it and made an appointment a week later...this continued for a little while until it came out the hr lady seemed to have 'lost' my paperwork and never sent it to the insurance company...then they tried to not pay me back even though they deducted health insurance from my paychecks which i wasn't able to use, she even tried to say it was my fault!!

I've mentioned on the board before that i once played in a freemason lodge's golf tournament...I was invited in lieu of a coworker that couldn't make it. thought the tournament was for a company we did business with ( a huge, oft-conspiracy linked US firm), but it turns out the guys that worked there were masons and had invited my colleagues to the lodge tourney.
They were trying to recruit us all day. I was considering it for subversive, investigative type reasons - I've always been fascinated...changed my mind when they all started joking about "the day we fired all the niggers at once".
They're not ALL bad people.... but I'm not down with group-think. not one person even batted a sideways eye. Decided that I couldnt stomach hanging with them after that, regardless of intentions.
There are a lot of 'normal' masons....I know a couple. From what I know of the organization, you don't know squat about people that are degrees ahead of you. Shriners are masons ffs. The old guys with funny hats and lil motor bikes. I went to one of their stupid cruel circuses a few years back and had to sit thru like an hour of freemason ceremonies before they tortured a single animal. They even talked, in front of 10k+ people, about their semi-masonic chapter that allowed women and children, like it was all normal....
Freemasonry is centuries old...undeniable links to the church, state, the occult...Always intriguing stuff.
Why don't you figure out a way to work Freemasons in a conversation with him, learn how to become one, and watch your own career flourish like his instead of being a tough guy and being unemployed soon?
It's the American way. If you can't fuck with them, become what they are and make better money.
You'll come to find that money doesn't solve all problems...but not having any sucks monkey dick.
I will never understand the whole controversy around the masons. When my ex husband's grandfather died, I was told he was a Mason. He was from the hills in KY. and it was said to me like it was something they all were very proud of.
Now that I have heard more and more about the Masons I am unsure just who this man really was. I thought I knew him???!!

I will never be like that, I believe in Karma.
I am not greedy, as long as I have enough to feed me and pay bills I will not step over others.
Assholes get what they deserve through Karma.
It happened to this abusive asshole manager at my brother in laws work.
That guy had an accident is now in a wheelchair.

Our HR manager is nasty and will really get mad at anyone if they questions anything.
In today's workplaces the HR managers office is always next to the General Managers office.
They are not their for the workers anymore but as the GM's sidekick/assistant.
Their purpose is to keep workers mouths shut and keep the GM looking good.

The power lies in their 'brotherhood' bond and loyalty and therefore connections. Which, of course, can take them anywhere.
