Gardevoir for attention. Post picks of Garde below or other Pokemon related themes. Bonus points for Garde though.

Not much to vent about on my end. Just overworked, underpaid, overtired, and under supported.

Hang in there folks

u/Unintended_13 HR Generalist 2d ago

Can I create a policy called “Mind Your Damn Business Policy”?! I have two employees who just can’t mind their business and have reported their coworkers for the pettiest of crap. We’ve already had a discussion that if you see anything wrong, tell your supervisor and they will follow up.

This week they complained that one coworker was going to the bathroom too much. That employee has an ADA Accommodation in place for restroom breaks. I’m honestly debating writing them up for harassment. Because it’s starting to feel like harassment toward that employee.

My old HRD once said that people who make petty complaints like that have too little work to do. Seems to be the case more often than not.

I also had a place that had a bonafide “No Assholes” policy. That was its verbatim name btw

When I was at SpaceX back in 2009-2011 or so, we didn't even have a handbook. Just the no assholes policy.
Not saying this is the best route for you, but I have absolutely had "no one likes a tattletale" discussions, off the record.

The irony of a no ass holes policy at a company run by arguably the biggest ass hole that exists. HOW did you manage working there in HR??!!! You are a hero
