I’m not a big fan of Ethan but he’s the only one who knows how key aspects of our network architecture works and he does get back to his desk faster if you salt him.
John compared your promotion to cooked meat and is laying hands on you without warrant. John is harassing.
Cindy is on the clock and working. No complaints filed on her behalf regarding any cramped or confined work conditions. Cindy is doing well.
Ethan was contracted to clear a stuck pig diagnostic tool inside a petroleum industrial mainline pipe. He called for traction materials to his teammates so he could safely navigate thru the extreme challenging environment. Ethan is doing his job well.
Ethan didn’t touch me without consent.
If he did, he’d be a bad little slug boy.
This reminds me of employee orientation I went through at an old job. There were videos on the usual things like sexual harrassment, workplace/industrial safety, etc.
The video on racial discrimination actually had some examples of what not to do.
What I remember was a white employee asking a black employee about why do mexicans always drive low riders, the black employee was all idk, white employee says “it’s so they can pick lettuce without having to get out of the car!”, and both laughed hysterically.
Those of us in the training room were looking at each other like ummmmm wtf?
So,
- someone googled “racist joke”,
- decided to include it into a presentation on how not to be racist,
- decided they themselves don’t want to be racist, so the joke should be told between people of different skin color, and
- at no point did they get up and just walk into the woods, never to return to human society again.
That’s certainly not the choices I would’ve made, but sure.
If it matters, explaining without excusing, this was around 2008 when I started the job, and the video, which was on an actual VHS tape, looked to be from the first half of the nineties.
Speaking of old videos from the nineties, I had jury duty a little while back.
The orientation video seemed to be from the same era, and the person on the video spoke about how we need to refrain from news on the television and newspaper, and then cut to a slide with no audio, just text stating also news on the internet or social media like facebook or myspace.
John is the boss and old, he just grew in another time.
Ethan is that weird guy that the company cannot afford to lose at any cost.
Evidently it is Cindy, and she will claim she was the victim, make false accusations and go on twitter.
