Bus/Financial - Human Resources
Spanish term or phrase: Se (ha) aportado bien conmigo
A reference to human resources/personnel, about whom a worker has compliments. Would this mean "he/she/they have gotten along well with me"? I hesitate to say "he/she/they have behaved well toward me, because as far as I know "behave" or "conduct one's self" is "portarse," not "_a_portarse."

But you are right that "toward" sounds better than "with".

Just had another of those "Why didn't I think of that?" moments. It should have occurred to me that "aportado" was really "ha portado." I found a number of other misspellings in this document. Glad someone caught that one!

agree  Leonardo Lamarche: agree. Maybe "very" can be left out. It is not in the original.

agree  Damian Hosford: "treated me well" or another option is "looked after me"
38 mins
  -> Thanks Damian. Without more info I'd be careul about asserting that the person "looked after" someone else (although it would be nice if it were the case).
