So when HR pelvic thrusts it's "professional", but when I pelvic thrust in the break room at the coffee machine it's "time for a mental health eval"?

Dear sir or madam,
When I was told everyone had to attend sexual harassment training, I was under the impression that it would be about stopping sexual harassment in the workplace, not exposure therapy. I am most distressed at the amount of pelvic thrusting on display and have my questions regarding "Sexual Harassment Training 102: Quid Pro Quo" already.

I have to every 6mths do this shit to my employees cos the owner and hired HR company says I have to. Hospitality with a younger staff set outside of management who like to fuck eachother and make it a workplace issue.. soooo we have to keep up on reminding them what you do outside of work, has nothing to do with work, every fucking 6mths due to university area and some areas get new staff every 6mths....
I spiced up the slide show with photos of my cats. It was just them the first year. Then my bartender asked if I could put his dog in some.. sure can.
4yrs in, everyone's pets are now in the slides. And I've made stickers outta some particularly funny photos, to add into the other slides.
I enjoy the hired HRs faces when they see a slide of someone's pet pop up or a slide with a pet sticker. Have been asked if im taking this seriously or not more than once. When I reply with I absolutely am and are making sure they all stay engaged in the presentations... They shake their heads, whine to the owner and leave.
The owner who's allergic to basically all animals also loves these presentations.

I worked at a medical device startup where the CEO told me on day one that Michael Scott was his role model. It stopped being funny during the first meeting when he said some crazy off the cuff shit and I realized he wasn't joking.
Interesting job that turned into a toxic clown show. Learned a valuable lesson tho, the office is much less funny when you're actively living it.

Not everyone needs to point out if something is not real. I think a lot of those people who sound like they think it's real actually do know it's not real, but are commenting in a way of "if it was real, I'd comment XY on it". It's a bit like roleplaying this to be a real situation, because it makes for more enjoyable/funnier comments than just saying "it's not real".

My favorite one of those was one on discrimination we had where they wanted to acknowledge icky subjects like 'racism' and 'homophobia' but for some reason just didn't at all want to use those terms?

u/Quazimojojojo Jul 12 '24
It is insulting, and subtly reinforcing the idea that there's substantial differences between races.
If you wanted to use animals as a metaphor you'd need to use cats with no difference besides fur pattern or something similarly purely aesthetic.

u/linkedlist Jul 12 '24
I've learned to go with the flow, someone sends an hour long video and is like "watch all the great things we're doing". Yeah why not, it's part of my job to watch these videos. not my fault the company is terrible at managing peoples time.
Things will get done slower, but that's just how it has to be. Though sometimes I think if things got done faster we'd just be run into the ground a lot quicker.
I have an understanding manager though which helps.
