Quick vent

[shemarie82]

I work in HR, so there are many things that I hear that I just have to bite my tongue. BUT, I had an employee tell me that she is trying to be a good Christian, and part of doing that is to spread the word to others. So, she has gone out of her way to befriend another lady in her area because she is gay. And, turns out, she actually likes her, EVEN though she is gay!!!! OMG! It wasn't even why I had her in my room, she just threw that bullshit out there because she wanted to! FFS!!!

Thanks for reading my vent!

OMG! Vent away!

As HR is there any room for you to prevent this woman from using the workforce as a place to evangelize?

The only way that it could be addressed is if someone complained about it. Her story really was about them being "friends" outside of work. Most people know that I married a woman, we live in a small community, but she must be clueless. Lots of times people will say something is "gay" and then look at me in a panic to see if I will address it. Not in this case! It was just verbal diarrhea with no second thought.

co-workers can be so charming sometimes!

Oh lord. Sorry you had to deal with that. Vent away!

The non-HR part of me wanted to stop her mid sentence and say, you realize I am married to a chick, right? Or let her know that we are both bi in case she needs to add to her collection...

Wow, that a tough one to bite your tongue to, but I know what it's being in an HR role and it's one of the many instances of idiotic things people say you can add to your list.

As my gma would say, "that don't make no damn sense,"

Seriously, what is wrong with people!

I've read this over and over again and it leaves me speechless.

That's so obnoxious.
