Lisa,
All professions have standards. Secretary is, by definition, a keeper of secrets. I do expect--not "uphold"--someone who claims professional status to the meet the definition or primary requirement of that profession. I do not "vilify," but do gaze in amazement at someone who fails to meet this basic fundamental of her profession and by her actions indeed does utterly disgrace the secretarial profession.
Please go back and read my post to which you replied, as I did considerable editing. I try to say everything the first time and before my post goes public, but I somehow remain a miserable failure in this endeavor.
A while back, on one of my listservs, there was a discussion of preserving confidentiality. The list became completely polarized into two camps--one faction that could not comprehend the importance of confidentiality or applied it selectively, and the other that could not comprehend confidentiality not being the first order of business or that its importance should even be called into question. I guess I don't have to tell you which camp I found myself lurking in. However, were your business entrusted to me and were you breaking no definable laws to my knowledge, I think you would prefer--no, welcome--my profesionalism to that of the other camp.
I believe you and I take diverging "leaps of logic" to reach very different conclusions.
