Michigan State University informed student employees to refrain from using terms like "I apologize" and "no problem" and addressing customers with gender-specific “sir or ma’am,” in a mandatory August training.

MSU Service Center employees witnessed an hour-long “Inclusive & Culturally Sensitive Service to Residents & Guests” presentation during their mandatory fall training, covering everything from identity wheels and utilizing pronouns to misgendering.

"If I’m saying ‘no problem,’ that’s leading a customer to believe that they could be a problem..." Tweet This

MSU Facilities Manager Sheena Ballbach claimed during her presentation that saying “no problem” could be a trigger.

Would the New York metro area "fuhgeddaboudit" be okay then in East Lansing?

MSU Facilities Manager Sheena Ballbach..

Seems like the second part of that name should be “buster”

[cuban leaf]

Well bless their hearts. :)

[Chauncey Gardiner]

I hate “no problem”

[HotHunt]

I "apologize" but the only "problem" I see is "Sir" Shinola BallBuster and her mandated Cultural Marxism.

What a crock. Just more commie bullsheet from the Left.

[OttawaFreeper]

Is it something along the same idea as the saying on the poster?

Higher education teaching kids what to think rather than how to think. Indoctrination rather than education.

[Red Badger]

Leftists never apologize...............ever..............

This sounds like someone who is trying to justify their paycheck by appearing to be busy.

What is seen in society now is a catastrophic failure of primary Virtues,

Gratitude, Humility, Prudence, Fortitude, Courage, Justice, Honor
Temperance, Chastity, Charity, Patience, Kindness...

Replaced by the false gods of “Values” and “Money”
I want what I want when I want it...

One day, a whole lot of college/u grads will understand the mental abuse they received at those places, for their $100,000+.

And they’ll boycott college/u for their children, using h.s. voc ed (needs resurrecting), apprenticeships (needs resurrecting), community colleges, technical and trade schools instead.

And a great many college prof’s will be seeking employment. Unsuccessfully. Karma.

It irritates me no end.

What was wrong with "You're welcome" or "My pleasure?"

[grobdriver]

"Yes Sir - No problem, and I apologize for that."

Standard customer-facing fare.

[Lisbon1940]

I apologized yesterday for something I wasn’t really sorry about. It seemed better not to aggravate the situation.

[Steely Tom]

Love means never having to say my bad.

[NorthMountain]

MSU Facilities Manager Sheena Ballbach is a complete idiot who should be tarred and feathered and thrown into Lake Superior.

[PeterPrinciple]

is “de nada” permissible?

[NorthMountain]

I want what I want when I want it...

and I want it NOW!!!
