People Are Sharing How They Got In Trouble At Work For The Weirdest Things (30 Tweets)

Agreed. Not talking about rape just contributes to the awfulness.

I honestly read this as rant and was really confused, at first. I have no idea wtf is wrong with hospitals, but in Germany two of covered for a mass-murderer. They knew something was wrong with the guy, but just kept sending him off to a different place. The guy killed over 100 people for certain, possibly up to 300!! Because some people feared a bad reputation.

I'm not sure BP censored it - this was pulled from twitter, so it may have been censored there. Either way, it should NOT be censored, ever.

While I agree with your statement, I'd also like to say that sensoring r@pe isn't always because it's a "bad word". I have a close friend who was sexually abused as a child and words like that often trigger her PTSD and cause anxiety attacks, etc. This might not be the reason BP sensored it, but I just thought I'd bring light to this side of the story.

THANK YOU! I was trying to understand the message but unable to find what the "r word" was.

Why the hell can’t we say rape. It’s not a bad word ffs. It’s a description

Thank you- I was trying role, rant,.... BP, context is needed for basic understanding

why are you censoring it then? The word is actually rape.

You get blurring out cuss words? That’s also very stupid.

OMG-IKR?! SHITT!!! RAPE??? Huh.

Thank you. I couldn't understand the post!

R@pe is a "trigger" word and you are not allowed to trigger snowflakes. Actual rule.

I don't know that it's motivated by bigotry (against rapists??). It may be well-intended and meant out of concern for those who've been sexually assaulted. https://www.nsvrc.org/statistics

What does bigotry have to do with it?

Not sure that BP did the censoring, it may have been done by twitter, where this thread was pulled from. But even twitter shouldn't be censoring it, especially when you see all the other language there!

Came here to say this. They are indeed a true hero.

Especially at 19- true character

Go bloody ask them on Twitter where it is screamingly obvious the post was copied from maybe?

Truly

And he became "an"

I had a boyfriend once that was much the same way. I said something and used the word "pensive" and he said that I was just using words like that to make him feel stupid. I didn't think that "pensive" was all that weird or uncommon a word to use. I also think that if he was feeling stupid there might have been a reason for that...

Is this really something you can get HR involved with? Here in Germany HR would make fun of her to the moon and back... Also, you being slim makes me feel fat - so please have a chocolate cake, will you?

I am a 33 year old with no college degree, and my roommates are 32 and 35, one with a bachelor's and one with a master's degree. That being said, we all graduated from the same high school. One web developer, one data analyst that used to be a school psychologist, and me, their professional platonic housewife. You think there are words they spit out that I don't know? You either get over yourself and ask, or look it up. I have to explain words to them too sometimes, it doesn't make any of us less intelligent, our areas of intellectual expertise are just mostly in different categories that sometimes overlap. If someone worries about things they themselves don't know then it's time to educate oneself

Let's stop normalizing intellectual laziness. We all have Google now - look it up! Sheesh.

That is irrefutably hilarious!

Yes, I was told very much the same thing by a supervisor, that I should "dumb down" my vocabulary if I wanted to get ahead. Also, I walk too fast. Too fast for what wasn't explained.

You savage! <3

If the shoe fits...

A couple of decades ago I’m had a not-very-bright supervisor who didn’t really understand my job (she was hired after I was when the partners felt they needed a supervisor for the non-report writing staff), and she was just bright enough to realize that I was much smarter than she was, so she felt very insecure around me, and when she would ask me to explain what I was doing, I played a little game I called “confuse her with the facts.” E.G., I would give her a very detailed explanation of what was requested of me and the steps I was taking in order to get my part done, and she was too insecure to ask me “How do C. and D. relate to what I just asked you?” I eventually quit because she was trying to micromanage me without any real understanding how I did my job.

Didn't Ghandi invent this?

Especially for college graduation! Most REAL companies not only will help fund it, but will celebrate such a great occasion!

The simple fact that you got 5 upvotes underlines how miserable the US society is. When you're judging people and their needs on their income, you're just one step away from admitting that you think that people with a minimum wage, aren't actually human.
