This is why I work for myself. At home. With no employees.

My main client's in-house counsel is a woman about my age. We say things to each other that would make the author of that manual stroke out. E.g., whenever we deal with an uppity female lawyer, we call her BBD--big black dildo (stems from a plan to have one shipped to one of them).

Oh, I'm sorry snowflake manual cuck, is that frowned upon around here?

perfume or cologne

I have never seen the need to wear Cologne or Perfume at work...Take a freaking bath before work you dirty animal.. I worked with a guy that bathed in Cologne. You could smell him 5+ minutes after he had been in an area.

I am pretty sure he is exaggerating with the no handshake and no yes sir etc.

Fat lady behind the counter at Cracker Barrel told me I smelled nice a couple of days ago. Anyone know a lawyer who will help me sue Cracker Barrel?

Held the door for an older black lady a while back.
She gave me a hug & called me sweetie.

I was not triggered.


Most of this stuff is BS. We are having to create a safe space for everyone that cannot handle the real world.

Oh yeah, I did the accidental hand brush when handing over money, old lady grabbed my hand and said I had nice hands.

Now that is harassment.

this isn't a "government" thing, it's a "wherever your friend works" thing.

I technically work "in government" and have never seen anything remotely this stupid.

No physical contact, even when greeting. This includes handshakes and hugs. One is not allowed to use the term, "yes,no sir" or "yes, no ma'am". Sir or Ma'am should be substituted with someone's title. ie. Yes administrator. Yes mail room clerk. No using terms of endearment like, "sweetie." I understand this, but "Millennial" was listed as an example. You can't call someone a millennial. No calling someone, "dude" or "brother". No compliments in regards to physical appearance including compliments on clothing. You also can't tell someone you like their perfume or cologne. No suggesting physical activity. You can't ask someone if they work out or what gym they go to. No referring to someone's sex or race. Ie. The woman that sits at the front desk. The asian guy in accounting.


I've got a strong suspicion that these were listed as actions that could be cause for concern, but I've got a difficult time believing these things were specifically forbidden.

This is not harassment no matter how much they try to push it.

Wait. Do said random old black ladies have some lunch cooking on the stove with lots of fresh vegetables and pork products? If so, I need to be harassed a little.

I don't believe the OP...at all.

I think my company was voted #1 in America in workplace diversity, they've never said a single thing in training or anywhere like the OP talks about.

i don't doubt it, they are trying to get ahead of suits.

I remember when sexual harassment suits were the thing in 1994-1996. Every useless bitch who got hired at chrysler, would realize the job isn't all the fun they thought it was, and file a claim, hoping to get a quick settlement, and they go on their way, or find another department to get an easy gig.

They had over 1000+ suits. Not many companies knew what to do, so their insurance companies were settling quickly .

Now they do their leg work, and fight the suits, when they can. Before, it was a f'in jackpot for broads to get a quick 30-50K.
