The confession is fake, we know that now, but if you think sexual harassment at the workplace is ok and you should just "overcome mild awkwardness" when you've been a victim of it, then you're either dumb, too edgy for me, or just the kind of dude that would sexually harass a coworker.

Even if you're not scandalized by an email containing the spread open anus of a guy you eat meals with everyday, it's still a Bad Thing and he would still be guilty of sexual harassment, which should be acted upon.

So did you write that confession or something because A) is as unlikely a scenario as "HR alllll got fired so now no one else can be" and B) just makes me wonder what kind of workplace dynamic you have

Well you specifically promoted steps 1 and 3 of that scenario. You advised confessor to confront the boss and you suggested that he could sue the company. I'm just saying that steps 2 and 4 follow from 1 and 3, and that should be obvious. The only thing that makes the scenario unlikely (aside from the fesh being fake) is that the confessor isn't so stupid to follow your advice.

I agree that it was a Bad Thing and the confessor did the right thing by reporting it. If Carl got fired on the spot it would be perfectly reasonable. However he wasn't and the situation is what it is. Personally I'd have a problem if the pictures were a kind of proposal - if Carl sent me stuff because he wanted sex with me. If I felt no such threat then I probably wouldn't feel sexually harassed. Of course other people might feel differently and decide that they'll confront the management over it, but I didn't get that vibe from the confessor.

I haven't bathed or showered since approximately August of 2015.

I grew up a fat kid, became a fat teenager, and grew into a fat adult. But that was when I crossed a boundary. I'm no longer able to fit into my shower or bathtub, and I'm no longer able to clean myself like a normal human.

I feel incredible shame for letting myself go. I don't leave the house, my job lets me stay at home and never be seen. My driver's license is expired but I'm too fat to fit in my car anyway, there's no point in renewing it. I order my food online, either delivery or through the many wonderful online grocery shopping apps.

I have thought about just drinking water and taking a vitamin to stay alive for weeks, and seeing how much fat I burn. I even tried it once. I lasted 2 hours before I devoured an entire bag of chips in extreme hunger.

I'm not sure of my current weight. Last weigh-in was in high school, and I was over 300 back then. Maybe 500? Possibly 600 now?

I think about suicide at times, too, but wouldn't want to leave this much poo poo behind for someone to clean up. And I can just imagine the headlines - Fat Recluse Found Rotting in Apartment.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Drinking water and taking a few vitamins isn't a bad idea. The bad idea was doing ONLY that and not eating healthier or exercising. If you only did the vitamins and water you would probably gain weight since you would kill your metabolism.

Then again you only lasted 2 hours on your dumb loving diet and seem to have no shame so enjoy being such a fat piece of poo poo fat pieces of poo poo look down on you.

It's never too late to turn it around. It will be a long and very tough journey but worth it in the end. You'll also have people rooting for you and be willing to help or give advice.

That probably fell on deaf ears so might as well end it all and be the news story you think you'll be, fatty.

Politely ignoring the pun, it might be a King-Size Homer type situation

quote:

A couple years ago I was put in charge of a smallish 5-10 people group at work depending on funding, where we mostly offer software solutions to academics and scientific researchers in general. As you'd imagine, a majority of the applicants to the coding positions are chinese or indian. When I run a group, clear communication is my number one priority when hiring someone new. My confession is that I have never hired or even interviewed anyone who wasn't white and american, canadian or english. My group is consistently one of the most productive groups and we rarely get any complaints from clients. Meanwhile the overwhelmingly asian groups get complaints about poorly commented code, broken english responses when they receive questions, and generally are difficult to get along with socially.

People have started commenting on my all-white team and I am getting pressure from the people above me to start making my team more diverse, but I don't know how to fight this without coming across as racist. I realize that it is textbook racism, but it's not because I don't like those people, I just don't like working with them and they ruin the laid back social atmosphere I prefer at work. I don't care how great they are at coding, if they can't explain it to me in clear english they don't belong here.

I'm not sure if this is a hill worth dying on and I will probably just hire a sufficiently americanized second or more generation non-indian asian or a black (though these are extremely rare in this type of job in my experience). It just really bothers me that I'm being forced to hire someone I don't want to work with, and I fear that our reputation will suffer as a result.

I mean, language skills are one thing, whatever, but you know you can absolutely find Chinese or Indian nationals that speak English pretty drat well right? (this should not be difficult)

Even if you didn't, though, a couple of people on your team with less language skills than everyone else won't hurt. Ease back on your policy before you get an uncomfortable talk from your two-man HR team, and yes definitely at least hire some people who aren't white (this should not be difficult)

Communication is part of any job. If person A and person B are both equally good coders, but A speaks perfect English and B speaks broken English, then A is better. This isn't racism, it's common sense.

That said, if you refuse to even interview nonwhites, you're racist.

Apparently he's determined that the nonwhites he refuses to interview would "ruin the laid back social atmosphere" that he likes. Also, even with his hand being forced he's only going to look at second or more generation non-Indian Asians. Next he'll write in to say that he's got nothing against Jews, but he just doesn't think they'd make a good fit with the corporate culture, which is why he throws resumes with Jewish last names in the garbage.

Anyway I agree with what has already been said about that guy pretty much. I have to work with a lot of Chinese people and it can be frustrating when they are still learning English, but if they aren't "fresh off the boat" so to speak and have lived here all/most of their lives they usually speak English just as well as a native. The social culture thing is also pretty ignorant. I'm sure if you gave them a chance you'd find some that fit in socially with your white dream team, but I know you won't because you're just using that as a convenient cover for "I am a White Supremacist".

Dude just interview qualified candidates, you'll find a great many native born Americans are of Asian or Hispanic heritage and will have the language skills and "culture" of a normal American even if they look like primitive tribal people to your racist rear end.
