re: Firms urged to crack down on office sports chat because women feel left out

One time we used to share a building with some other company and they had a section of offices on the same floor.

Evidently they could hear us from the other side of the wall. 90% of the conversation was sports, especially during football season and there was always a lot of cussing.. As in extreme cussing. A lot of fricks, count, pussy, "suck my dick" and people going back and forth about what they could tell their wife to do.. Its something you don't think about, its just normal talk..

Our HR department sent an email to all of us in that area telling informing us that the company on side of us asked if we would watch our language and lower our voices. That only made things worse. People replied back to HR "tell them if they don't like it then they should wear ear plugs", etc... Throughout the day people would go to the wall that seperates us from the other company and say shite real loud like "Fuuuuuuuuuck yoouuuu!" "Suck my diiiiicccckk".. Two weeks later that company relocated. They had to buy out of their lease or some shite

Unfortunately we ended up moving to another location and I was put next to a department that was majority female. One of them was pregnant. I swear to god.. I had to leave out the office sometimes because I almost lost it on them. They would talk about pregnant shite all day long. And they were a bunch of back stabbers. They would act like best friends with one another and if one left a few minutes early... Would come back to lunch a few minutes late on a regular basis, etc, they would go tell their boss.

So if that firm cracks down on football talk, I hope they make it a company policy that you can't talk about pregnancies, husbands/boyfriends, etc.
