A reader sent me the following e-mail, which I have edited a bit to protect her privacy, and the privacy of others mentioned here:
I wanted to bring this to your attention. My husband had a conversation with a young friend of ours who is a recent college grad. He has been working at [a major retailer] for the last year. Im not sure what his title is, but we have encountered him at the store. He is a great worker and has earned a number of company awards for his performance. He related to my husband that he had had a conversation with a friend at work about the use or non-use of transgender pronouns. He took the position that he would not feel comfortable doing this.
He was later called into his managers office and reprimanded. The manager told him that someone had overheard his conversation (manager wouldnt say who), and that he had made this person feel unsafe. Our friend was written up for this, transferred to another store a long distance away, and suffered other severe sanctions! He was a bit naive to have engaged in this conversation at work, but good grief!
Yes, under communism, the slightest infraction was met with overwhelming punitive force. People were taught that they had better be afraid at all times, because one mistaken word, said in front of the wrong person, could mean their lives would change forever.

True, don’t trust anyone at work because they really all are to get you. Don’t speak to anyone unless it’s a response to a direct question and even then only answer yes or no.
Find another job and sue this company for being so insensitive to the non-freak’s “feelings”.
Take home $50M in a few years and have a nice life. Isn’t this the American way today?
I hope that brave soul has already secured another position or just won a nice lottery payout. Alternatively, perhaps that individual is showing a strength as an entrepreneur. HR would have his cube packed up before the day was out.
Remember when corporations were run to make a profit? Seems like just yesterday......
I guess I would fill mine out as:
My name is LORD.
My pronouns are He/Him/His ...
Aw, carp.
“We need every teammates voice to champion change and make an impact. “
What the hell does that even mean?
Embrace our differences? I said no touching!
Corporate leaders have been convinced that embracing “diversity” some how helps the bottom line.
I have a friend, very religious, who received one of these from is employer a few years back. It's an invitation to state your opinion. When he stated his religious opinion in the forum they said up to offer opinions, he was fired. He's currently in the midst of a lawsuit for religious discrimination and he looks like he's going to win.
oh, puke
Please, for the love of God, tell me that’s photoshopped.
I used to work in HR.....I HATE HR....today...well, actually I grew to hate it by the late 1980s...and left in early 90s...that’s how long HR has been on the decline...and I worked in High Tech
Dont get in the middle of this, you will lose. Just email document to the boss (and keep copies that you will send home later, of what the new employee has not done, explain why you are waiting. And ask for help
“we are waiting on this step of project z because the guy has not yet procured part a. We have done all the work-arounds I can see, do you have any suggestions...”
Do not talk about the guys character laziness etc. Just give facts and ask for direction.
you are correct never fill out an anonymous survey.
capitalized of course! LOL
“Thats why we are bringing teammates together for Day of Understanding workshops...”
Teammates...the new comrades.
At least it was printed in a union shop! (the “bug”)
This is ominous. It's coming from one of the entities whose audits publicly-traded companies need to pass in order to be publicly traded.
Just state the facts, do not engage in any observations of performance or of a personal nature whatsoever. If the “gay” issue arises, it’s a minefield, go into it knowing that. Have you made any comments regarding this that could come back to bite you? The best answer is that his sexual preference is his business, you’re not concerned about that one way or the other, you’re concerned about company business and that requires that you get the company vehicle that is required.
