233. As a shop Steward...

Oct 2017

I have to say, not all workplace issues revolve around such obvious wrongs as you describe. Many times bosses can be more insidious... leaving comments vague, walking by whistling a tune that has overt implications, leaving things for an employee to find, changing work schedules to inconvenience an employee, etc. I have represented people who would certainly consider PCIntern's behavior inappropriate. If someone reported his "behavior" at my workplace, we would have a nice sit-down and talk it all out. I work in a kitchen so i see that PC was careful with language, but not saying something doesn't mean you didn't imply it... and well, when someone gets offended, they might report you to HR or their servicing rep... often while making the "offensive" action seem worse than it is. Most of the workplace disputes i deal with stem from general dislike or political disagreements.

What did he do wrong? He asked if they were ok ecstatic Oct 2017 #11

He is clear on his political stance. He understand theirs. He called them out and taunted. Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #14

Were you allowed to curse him out (if you wanted to)? If not, that's ecstatic Oct 2017 #18

It is inappropriate for a work environment. That simple. I don't understand why you do not get that Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #20

Because every workplace is different. ecstatic Oct 2017 #29

Just like sexually harassing employee is wrong. Taunting employees making environment uncomfortable Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #55

I figured you'd go there. OP didn't sexually harass them. He whistled a song. emulatorloo Oct 2017 #85

What employer is going to allow this environment and call himself professional? Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #90

I might agree with you, but I find your claim that this is equivalent to sexual harassment emulatorloo Oct 2017 #94

I didn't say it was equivalent. You did. Like harassment of any kind, it is wrong. Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #97

Read your post title, you equated it w sexual harassment. emulatorloo Oct 2017 #101

It is not equating it the same level, but equating harassment as wrong. We get sexual harassment is Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #107

I have zero tolerance for false equivalencies, especially when the end result is trivializing sexual emulatorloo Oct 2017 #112

I have zero tolerance for people with an agenda only hearing what they want to hear, Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #118

I have no agenda other than pushing back against hyperbolic nonsense. emulatorloo Oct 2017 #124

Harassing sexually, bad. Harassing in other manners, good. Ok. I was taught differently. Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #133

I didn't say that. I asked you not to lie about me yet you did anyway emulatorloo Oct 2017 #161

I didn't not say sexual harassment was equal to this type harassment either. Doesn't seem to matter Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #170

I expect you to call me a rapist next emulatorloo Oct 2017 #180

Seriously? You accuse me of hyperbole all the while Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #184

A little taste of your own medicine, perhaps? Hyperbole is apparently fine when yr using it against emulatorloo Oct 2017 #261

"A little taste of your own medicine, perhaps?" Back pedaling much? Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #265

So now you're insinuating I'm in favor of threatening and abusive work environments? emulatorloo Oct 2017 #268

No. I am stating my position as an employer. Do keep playing the game. I see you doing it thru out Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #274

did you see this? Eko Oct 2017 #187

I had a genuinely abusive boss. Poster claiming whistling a song is the same as sexual harassment emulatorloo Oct 2017 #264

Well now, who is really guilty of false equivalency? 58Sunliner Oct 2017 #249

I am so sorry you had to go through that. That you were subjected to that makes us all here angry. emulatorloo Oct 2017 #267

You are just begging for a fight...what will stick? ChubbyStar Oct 2017 #127
