Coasterphreak posted:If he’s sexually harassing his coworkers, that definitely needs to be addressed regardless of his skill or position. Everyone is replaceable. I started writing a post about how your workplace could call the bluff, but I realized that would probably just make everything worse for not just this guy but any potentially closeted folks. Sorry about this situation, but you should definitely make sure management knows that it isn't ok to just ignore the problem and hope it goes away and doesn't start sexually assaulting anyone. They know about the problem, which means that they are partly liable if he does something and they chose not to act on it.

Isn’t this literally the point of HR, to shield the company from fallout of the stupid poo poo employees do? Shouldn’t HR be making GBS threads bricks if the women of the company are pissed at this guy? Like isn’t this a potential lawsuit waiting to happen? Or is it the usual case of white guy with management backing, so until those lawsuits and/or criminal charges actually start rolling in, HR won’t do squat?

If he's essential and irreplaceable as described, the company is going to want to keep him while smoothing over any material consequences of his actions, and HR will help them. This applies regardless of the actions in question, as long as consequences of them continuing don't outweigh the consequences of doing something. So anyway, smash the system when?

Y'all are missing the easy win. Clearly this dude is a man's man. So leaver a bunch of period products around and discuss things like heavy flow and discharge until he cries to HR or storms off in a huff.

Nah, just screwgun the door shut and tape one of those $100 Ali-express GSM/CDMA jammers to the door. Tape a sign to it labeled Rapist Retention Pit. Disavow all knowledge of anything you did that Saturday.

We still have dvi and the real funny part is that we rent our monitors so who knows how much we’ve actually spent on a lovely rear end monitor that has been out of date for years.

MonkeyHate posted:There’s a guy at my brother’s work who has started exclusively using the ladies room to poo poo and all the women are really complaining because he was a gross creep to them even before he started barging in on them in the one place they could hide from his leering stare. Friend had a cop uncle doing something similar in the 1990s although it was more of a Deus Ex situation, during late night shifts preferred to use empty women’s restroom as he thought it was cleaner. This was not ok to do and he was warned to stop, then got written up by his very annoyed sergeant who was mad he had to deal with it.

When I showed up at my work about a year ago I found out we had multiple monitors that were VGA only. I also found three mice with trackballs. I made sure those all got replaced but we still have a few DP to DVI ones floating around

I saw the same documentary and I don't think you're accurately portraying it. One of the lawyers was hallucinating dancing babies all over the place. The drama had nothing to do with the bathrooms.

That's a really good way to make sure your stairwells are covered in piss. Thanks for reminding me: We missed the store supplies order time today and I forgot to add a toilet valve assembly. On the one hand, I'm shocked we can order them. On the other hand, that doesn't do much good if we keep forgetting it! We've been having customers use the employee bathroom if they ask, but I kinda don't like needing to do that. It's embarrassing for them and for us. Grown-rear end people shouldn't have to ask for the bathroom like little kids. I'll say this for the place: as dirty as it is if you peel back the facade, our bathrooms sparkle. Mostly because I'm the one that cleans them. gently caress, am I the only person that cleans the store? Never seen anyone else do it, except for wiping shelves during shelf resets. I should really bring that up, knowing it'll be me that sets a cleaning schedule.

No, you reduce the height of the stall walls and door, so it only covers about a foot or two around your waist while seated. Seriously America,  ?

Thats gotta be at like, a drug testing center so they can keep an eye on your, right? Or a dive bar where they have a problem with people loving or shooting up? Right? At both our shops, the bathrooms are single occupant. At the theater, cast all have their own bathrooms in the dressing rooms, "public" bathrooms backstage are all single occupant. For some reason on one of the last tours they went around and labeled all the single occupant bathrooms as non-gendered.

Maybe they just want people to make friends! Pass the paper, pass the wet-wipes, pooping is a communal activity! Nah, they just want bathroom breaks to be as uncomfy as possible. Which, gently caress that. Eye contact while I blow my o-ring out, "How you doin'? Wow. That's a lot of blood."

My office only has single occupant bathrooms. They were gendered. The women used the men's room whenever the other one was occupied. Once the hiring meant the woman to man ratio went from 1/20 to 1/5 they converted all the bathrooms to non gendered. They immediately put up signs asking people to put the seat down. The former men's room went from being totally fine, maybe some pee spatter on the seat and floor, to absolutely trashed and with people just not flushing?????? There's a wooded field behind the office, can I just go back there? The animals areore courteous.

Yeah, there's some missing context to that. I've lived in the US my whole life and been in all manner of lovely establishments with gross restrooms and never seen anything like that. My best guess is something along the lines of needing to watch people for drug testing purposes.

At one job we had a plumbing problem that meant we had to use the womens’ bathroom for a couple of hours one day and it was hosed. This was just a reasonably normal office job with reasonably normal office people and the mens’ room suffered from the occasional discourteously piss-splashed seat, but that day we found out the women apparently went hard as gently caress in their bathroom to the point that they were leaving blood and snot on the cubicle walls.

All of my all-time worst bathrooms are pretty typical hellscape men's rooms in really bad truck stops or gas stations, but in among that horror is the bathroom in the women's dorm my college girlfriend lived in. Just loving filthy. The worst part of it was the thick accretion of makeup powder on loving EVERYTHING, which turned to a cement-like paste because of the showers.

There was a brief period where all the sketchy public bathrooms around here had weird coloured lighting that was supposedly there to make it harder to see your veins so junkies don’t just spend all day in there shooting up, but that could have just been some weird urban legend because they eventually went back to normal over the space of a couple of years.

~Coxy posted::raises paw: We have those same docks (Dell WD19s*, it looks like?) and GOD, they suck. Only 3 USB-A ports. Most of the people here have 4 USB devices. Mouse, keyboard, webcam, and headset. SOME of our keyboards have an extra USB port or two, but most most. And I guess asking people to use the built-in webcam in their laptops isn't cool (cause the quality and angle is bad) so...yup. Most people are ok with plugging in their dock and ONE other USB device into their laptop when they come into the office to dock it, but others complain about a whopping two plugs they have to plug in, so they get a USB-C to USB-A hub to plug into the dock to add more ports. *I think that's a 19S because I don't see a headphone jack on the front, which I think is the only difference?

I don't know how true it is, but blue light is considered to make it more difficult to find surface veins so if the tint was particularly blue then that might have been it.
