Nope. Feeling like a grownup among mewling infants. I've asked several times in this thread: what about that Gershwin lyric is "disrespectful to women?" No one has answered because it's clear the complaint is ludicrous on its face. The inability to call it out for what it is can be accurately labeled as intellectual cowardice. Woke, in other words. But at least we know who's who. Thanks for playing!
Yes, it can. We just termed an employee for doing a thirst slash after our executive ended a stand up meeting. They found not nice comments about company in her social media and quickly terminated her employment.
Again, it's not woke, it's third-party sexual harassment. The person who heard another person say what you said filed the complaint with the company. The company has an obligation to get to the truth on what the facts are and then determine if any action is warranted. Second, I am not construing anything. I am just letting you know that a person who filed a complaint is following the rules of third-party sexual harrassment claims. Look, I could find the court case where locker room gossip cost a government employee their job because of their bragging on "sexual exploits." That was an example when we had our first sexual harassment briefing when the law became effective and I was working for the government.
The complaint is ludicrous on its face. Your refusal to call it out for what it is, or answer a single question twice asked can be accurately labeled as intellectual cowardice. Woke, in other words. At least we know who’s who.
I agree this is absurd. However, something I will point out is that in very old traditional conservative circles (of the type that are pretty much no longer exist today), bringing up any topic that implied sexual matters (especially outside of marriage) would have bene seen as offensive and inappropriate, or at the very least crude. So it seems that society has come around full circle with this modern progressive wokeness. Many old things that were socially prohibited, then were not, have now been made socially prohibited again. Perhaps the woman is offended merely at the suggestion that some man might try or want to have a sexual liaison with a woman, and the woman does not feel comfortable with that in the setting of the workplace. I think this issue would have been better posted in the "Women's Rights" section of this forum. Black culture has always been more sexualized than White culture, which probably goes some way in explaining why this appeared in a song from the 1930s.
On the contrary, it's still considered crude in many cultures. It's not political or historical .. it's a quite contemporary and widespread thing. Given there are so many other topics for jokes/song lyrics/conversations etc, it's almost always unpleasant when someone aims straight for the sexual option. To do so knowing it's the one topic most likely to offend, there's a level of sociopathy in the individual who goes there.
It's simply a process and trust the process. And second, I don't know all the facts. You have your side and the other person has theirs. The Zoom call may have been secretly recorded if it was on business time and used business "property." But that's the process.
You're projecting, bro. I always mock & ridicule snowflakes who play the victim in order to feel validated.
The fact it that you opened a thread to express the fact that you are trigged by something your supervisor said. You were triggered to a point where you threatened to take it "all the way up the food chain". My reaction would have been "whatever you say man". Idiots at workplace are best ignored.
Yet another evasion, and not a clever one. You know all the relevant facts: I posted a Gershwin lyric in an online chat room. A woke snowflake who's never seen, met nor spoken with me shrieks I'M A VICTIM! Because fictional women have "disrespected." Your insistence that everyone bend over & "trust" a woke process to stroke the narcissism of woke frauds is as woke as it gets.
I disagree. The complaint should've been smacked down from the jump; it should have never this far. At some point people need to stand up and call bullsh!t. If the system won't do it, it's up to us. Make it as ridiculous & counterproductive as possible to be woke & to enforce/comply with institutionalized stupidity. But at least you agree the complainant is an idiot. Progress.
I remember when the pink teletubby, Harry Potter and Donald Duck not wearing pants were screamed over. I remember being forced to say the Lord's Prayer in the classroom and being punished for refusing to mouth the words. I remember when homosexuals were arrested in bath houses. It's amazing how society has turned upside down and the authoritarians and anti-free speech is now as much as or even moreso on the left.
9 days later, and the complaint has been mysteriously dropped. You don' t have to bend over for this bullshit, boys & girls.
No woman is going to put out to an ugly old man, so he might as well die? That's your favorite lyric you want to share with the public? The taste police should have a talk with you too.
That song has been recorded by everyone from Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Aretha Franklin, Miles Davis, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Rod Stewart, Sting... I'll stack their taste up against yours every day of the week & twice on Sunday. You appear to be advocating that young people sexually pursue the elderly on their deathbeds. If it's bad taste you're looking for, consult a mirror. And grow a sense of humor while you're at it.
You grow one, I was kidding you, but it's interesting you chose the lyric about women not putting out when you could have chosen..... To get into heaven, don't snap for a second Live clean forget your faults I take the gospel whenever it's possible But with a grain of salt Oops, then the born-agains would be complaining about you......and maybe they should.
Your idea that art isn't political is totally unsupportable - quite possibly juvenile. I'd point out that there is data indicating that those fired from technical jobs are most often fired due to inability to work together - not as a judgement of their work quality.
