In real life, work harassment often looks like B. How many times has Cindy “accidentally” spilled coffee over you? She’s just so clumsy lol lol.
Depends on the company. If you work at blizzard then you get the rape room or they send you to the bill cosby suite
Ethan didn’t touch me without consent.
If he did, he’d be a bad little slug boy.
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.
/s
These comments got me confused, yes John touches someone on the back, but like the back isn’t sexually motivated?? All the answers are not harassment perse, at least not without some extra context. But when I read the comments I think that you all are just extra touch sensitive (possibly because of some worse experiences or with extra context, which is fair - don’t get me wrong)
It’s called a joke, mon ami.
The commenters may be a tad sarcastic in their comments
C isn’t harassment it’s just a nervous breakdown at work. The guy doing unsolicited touching on the other hand…
All of this.
I know this is a joke, but what the actual fuck is that slug story. I am laughing my ass off reading it 😂.
A.
Clearly, A.
Hey, John, keep your gods damned hands to yourself you fucking creep. Hope you have a good attorney.
Ya know, at least Ethan isn’t touching you
And for all I know, he was a bad little slug.
It’s a very inclusive workplace.
Obviously A. Ethan didn’t touch me, and Cindy only on accident.
Also I wasn’t promoted, so that pervert John must be insinuating that he can get me promoted in exchange for unspecified “services”. I wouldn’t feel safe around him.
I got one once where you got an email (when sending “fun” emails was a thing) with a racist joke. What to do??
A) report
Etc.
C) forward to the team
D) forward to the team, But only of it was really funny
😬
Good thing you can say these …
You would not believe how many trainings like this one I completed with a score close to 100% just by picking the longest answers.
Oh man, that’s a good point. The longest answer is likely either the ridiculous answer when you’re supposed to catch the odd one out, or when you’re supposed to pick the correct answer, then it’s likely the nuanced take.
I had not thought about it this much yet, but I’ve definitely also started only reading the short answers, if none of the long answers sound right.
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.
Inspired by the “Diversity Day” episode of The Office, no doubt.
