It would be so much fun to walk directly from that interaction to HR with this in my hand. What the fuck was somebody thinking believing that was professionally acceptable?
As I mentioned in my response to someone else, it was a demolition company. No one was offended by it until one of the office folk spotted it on a site visit.
The work culture could be considered toxic, I suppose, but if one of the workers was legitimately having a hard time everyone else was supportive. This actually landed really well as an inside joke.
And people wonder why young folks don’t want to work in the trades anymore. I don’t come to work to be put down by small men with big egos. There is shop love, and there is being an asshole, and belittling somebody that’s upset is just being an asshole.
