cmk418So on Friday we finally were hit with the effects of my former co-worker's lawsuit:
The head of HR thought it was a good idea to share the following in her introduction. My comments are in italics:
MY M&M’s and me
I have always liked M&M’s
The most diverse multicultural integrated candy in the world.
You have your red ones, your yellow ones, your orange ones, your brown ones, and your green ones. *here she added a clunky phrase about the 'blue ones' just so they wouldn't be left out*
All in one package
All coexisting together
One color doesn’t discriminate against the other.
One color doesn’t think that it is superior to the other.
All colors are the same size, shape and weight. because they are plain and rather boring
All colors look different on the outside but have the same ingredients on the inside.
M&M’s all have the same flavor and they all taste
G-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-D she shorted this to just 3 o's, but it still was pretty goofy
Not all M&M’s are perfect though.
Some have nuts!!! inner eight-year-old boy "she said nuts"
In the real world we call them racists and bigots. WTF, lady? In the real world, they're damn delicious
Wouldn’t it be nice if like M&M’s our prejudices melted into the abyss like chocholate melts in our mouth
and all people were judged by what was inside rather than the color you see on the outside?
this is insane
If candy can be prejudice free WHY CAN’T WE? I lost the paper this was on, so I googled it, still don't have the right author credit, just know that it wasn't me or the staff HR person that did it
This stuff might have worked when I was five. And seriously, you're just going to throw out the phrase "some have nuts"? During a subject where are minds are already subconsciously tuned toward the sex that we're not supposed to be thinking about? Thank god, she wasn't going for a gym class or barnyard analogy.
And none of that really matters anyway, because those of us who saw my former co-worker get drummed out of there for making an accusation pretty much know that there's nothing that HR would do for us if we filed anything of our own.
And then the ED came up and said that we were still having budget issues and that it was 'survival of the fittest' time, but that we should still work together as a team. Utterly ridiculous, but that's the place where I have to go back to work tomorrow.
