Yes.

They'd be the joke around the office. But, at least they were not threatening, or used to be.

They always had the office across the street. You didn't usually have to worry about them, as long as you didn't actually do something illegal or harmful.

Now they are kind of in your face all the time.

You could also see other indicators rise, like the number of mandatory HR trainings.

There was maybe one per year, then we eventually had 4 or so, for each quarter I think.

I don't quite remember.

they had this up on November 2017

They would track the completion of every one, because you had to log onto a portal to view those trainings.

So they split the womens bathroom in half for that

Then a few weeks later they took it down lel

That's so idiotic. One of my co-workers was fired because he accidentally walked into the women's rest room once.

Nothing happened, he just walked right out after he realized his mistake.

Thats fucked up lmao

There was one woman in there who then reported him to HR.

And, he even had a good reason for his mistake:

On all floors, the women's rest room was usually to the left. On the floor it was to the right.

As far as i know we dont have any trans people working in the nyc office we do have gay people working here

So, he was chatting with someone on the cell phone and was just on autopilot.

At least one gay guy lawyer works here and hes chill

He was an engineer, too, and we paid good money to hire him.

So they canned him for that shit ? @Undead Mockingbird

And now it's all bullshit apparently anyway, because everyone can just use whatever restroom they please!

YES, they fired him.

This one woman threw a fit and claimed some past trauma.

She was some fat retard who nobody would have touched anyway.

Damn thts fucked up

They don't get any attention naturally, so they try to make everything about them by constantly being offended.

She had been very unpopular among the engineers before already, but people were nice to her regardless.

After, nobody would talk to her anymore and she left by herself.

Its' a complete waste. Even if she had ever contributed anything, that way the company lost two people.

@Undead Mockingbird yup thats what happens when you go to hr you get fucked like that

I don't understand how companies can afford to do shit like that.

We also had a super incompetent manager once and were so far over schedule that we canned the team's work of HALF A YEAR.

THere were ... 6? people working on the project, so that's 6 x 1/2 = 3 person years.

So, the equivalent of throwing away the amount of work a person would have done over the span of 3 years.

Companies just do that. It's amazing.

I think a lot of companies out there are just coasting on the successes from past days and are like the Titanic heading towards the iceberg - that, or they must have some other departments that are insanely lucrative, which I doubt.

If I had a startup, I could maybe afford to make a mistake like that ONCE and I'd be DONE and over the next quarter.

So ... maybe this will all be a self-correcting problem. One can only hope.
