I had a (dirtball) employee file for unemployment after he quit. He said he quit because he was a recovering alcoholic, and the bottle of booze on my shelf made him uncomfortable, or something like that. He had never said anything to me, and he did not win, but the things some people will do.....

Yeah, I made some comment to our office manager about modeling a mardi gras shirt concept we have that would require the showing of boobs.  We laughed and then I said, "I should have added hashtag sexual harassment."  And we laughed some more... but yeah, with the wrong crew, you can't get away with stuff like that.

My comment was obviously tongue in cheek, our office manager doesn't even have boobs hardly.

Ahh jeez Gilly, you're making me cringe over here.

In writing? Public forum? Eeeks.

it's not even legal to ask an employee's age.

Yeah, I know... we have a good crew here though.

She's Chinese and I have "Yellow Wednesday" where I get to blow out all of my asian jokes.... She asked why just one day as it didn't bother her, I said because it would get old as I'd never stop.  LOL

We had some Asian clients in the other day and after they left she bursted out "I hate Asians!"  They were here for 2 hours for a 144 pcs order.

Just now, as I typed this, she was responding to a clients email and the clients signature in his email has his title "Special assistant" and she said, "that's terrible, it sounds like he's a 'butt buddy' or something."

I think I'm ok here. :)

My best guy ever was a convicted felon. Once I can get him to relocate here it will be awesome. Great dude and printer.

one of mine was too, but this is info i'd like to know going in...i mean we have a sex offender registry, and I can't ask if somebody has been convicted of a felony?  Something is seriously wrong there.

doesn't matter if they make the best employees or shop owners...my point is I should be allowed to know.

here in GA, we have a training program for HVAC in prisons.  would you feel comfortable with your wife at home waiting on the HVAC repair guy and wondering if he's a felon himself?

Of course, committing a felony and being a convicted felon often involves two very different demographics.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

the felon policy is like the drug policy here at our shop - if your too "clean"  you probably wont get the job.
