Hostile Work Environment
Jan. 15th, 2004 03:28 pmWell, I know it has been a while since I wrote, but I thought this was really noteworthy.
I was sitting at my desk minding my own business.
The 2 sales guys in the cubes across from me were talking personal crap. Hey I can dig it. Also there was the Office admin.
During their conversation, one of the sales guys proceeded to tell the other 2 the following.
"I pulled up next to this car the other day and this guy was looking at me. After he pulled ahead I saw he had a rainbow sticker on his car. I should have rear ended the bastard."
I immediately got up from my desk and went to the Operations Manager (HR) office to have a chat with them. They were in a meeting. The girl next to me (Kay) heard the conversation also and broke up a meeting that HR was in to get this reported.
So Myself, Key, June (Lesbian Co-Worker) Michelle (My Lesbian Manager) and Diana (HR Person) had a chat in her office about it.
Diana assured me that the issue would be handled immediately.
June had told me that the 2 sales guys were homophobic, and she has heard that shit before. She has been here like 4 years, but just ignores it. When she told me that, I told her the first time anything like that is said, I would be making a report.
Soo with that, I get to wait and see what happens.
Well back to work
