Labor Relations Board...

[Luba]

Did you ever have something happen at work where you had to go to the Labor Relations Board?
If not, what job matter would have to happen before you did go?

Here we call it the Human Resources Department or at least I think it is the same thing. Each company has their own HR Dept. It would take some kind of a threat from someone I think for me. I just ignore the rude comments and since I work in an Engineering company (mostly men) I can give as good as they can when it comes to crude comments. I don't cater to the politically correct crap and I am not one to run to my boss with a sexual harrassment suit as soon as someone says a crude comment. I deal with those who abuse it in my own way.

It's getting so someone can't give someone else an innocent hug...I think some of it has gone too far...I love giving and receiving hugs!

So do I. I don't see a problem if you are friends and it is innocent.

i agree that companies today take it too far. but, you know, they do have to be very very careful because if someone wanted to, they can sue them for everything they have. discrimination and sexual harrassment is something that has to be enforced which i think is why they take it as far as they do. it's serious!

I wouldn't take anything to HR unless i was being sexually harassed and that would be after all attempts i made first for the person to stop. if he wouldn't stop, then i'd take it into hr. as far as using the f-bomb, that doesn't bother me. i don't find much to be offensive so things like that don't bother me and if i happen to overhear someone else's conversation, then i feel i deserve everything i hear. not an hr matter IMO.

but you do have the "whiners" in every workplace that love to cause crap.
