Actually, in retrospect, it's probably best I don't go there. Too much HR related stuff up on a public board. Suffice it to say this 20 to 30 year old generation is a total mystery to me. Last edited by DETRoadster; 07-13-2018 at 09:30 AM.. |

My CFO alerted me to a term for this sort of employee. A "virtue signaler". Had not heard that one before. Fits her like a glove. |

That shit has way too many people with zero social skills and/or creeps on it. Hard pass. I can only imagine what a trainwreck any dating meetup gatherings would be

Why? My take on the situation is, an employee is giving a manager a heads up about a situation that may potentially offend other employees or even customers. While she is not offended by the song per se, it may lead to an HR situation if others are. It sounds like she is just being proactive to me. Who knows, without knowing the song, I could be way off base. I suppose an analogy could be an employee overhears other employees speaking in a manner that could be offensive to some, while not being personally offended. Speaking up about it could nip the issue in the bud before it potentially gets worse.

It's kind of amusing that people think it is weird for groups with common interests to meet up. As mentioned above, I think the weirdness is really determined by the interest or focus of the group.
I got to speaking with an acquaintance about motorsports once, and he mentioned that if I like F1 there is a meetup group for watching the races together. Watching races with other enthusiasts didn't seem weird to me. Now those furry meetup groups on the other hand...

Nothing but great experiences with meetup.com.
Latest one is a group of folks in my neighborhood who work out together. A former fire-fighter who is now a personal trainer offers a free Sunday morning class in a park complete with ropes, sleds, tires, etc. She's providing a great service for free, and it really makes you feel good about the community. I guess if you live in a weird area with weird people doing weird things, meeting up with others might be... weird? One thing that comes to mind in that case - is everyone else weird, or is it you? Just something to think about. Perhaps you could meet up with others to discuss it, but then again maybe that would be... weird. Deep thoughts for you to ponder. |

Come on people, as said there are weird people everywhere and even EACH and EVERY one of you(me included) can probably be considered weird in at least one aspect, I know I can.
Seems like a cool site and I will definitely check out some groups around me. Thanks for starting this thread, I never even knew of meetup.com |

I’ve never used it but it’s not any more strange than the meets organized on forums like this.

No one came forward in this instance, maybe next time if others hear it though. I'm assuming the song has language that some may find offensive, hence the whole point of bringing it up. Again, I really have no idea without knowing the song. Assuming music playing does have language that can offend other employees or customers, then yes, there is an issue. The offended party then complains to HR or management; that's how it gets worse. If this is just music playing from an FM/AM station that you just don't like, then yeah, that is ridiculous.
