I'm curious to gain some insight from this bowl. I recently had to fire two men from work after catching them in the act of having sex with eachother. Should I feel bad?

Would the situation have been different if it were a man and a woman? If not, why would you feel bad?

inappropriate conduct is inappropriate conduct and if this violated policy, then it was your job to dismiss them. that said, personally i WOULD feel bad since i don’t think two consenting adults of any gender or orientation having sex, even on company time or property, should inherently be a fireable offense unless it interfered with the timely execution of their job responsibilities. but you weigh your own morals.

In the interest of the business, you are 100% right for firing them. Office romance will result to a low output at work.

Did this happen at work on work time?

You caught them and had the power to fire them? Bad luck on their part

I am a director I give first warnings especially if I catch you, if you do it again and I catch you BYEEEEEEEEE BYEEEEEEE

I mean, it just depends on the situation. It they’re consenting adults and it’s somewhere private, I personally don’t think it’s that big of a deal. Power to them. But if it’s specifically against company policy or a workplace hazard or in public, then maybe not.

I find myself questioning basic politeness I’ve learned since a child. Wondering what everyone else thinks. I work with an associate. She’s great. When she does good work or something I’ve asked her to do, I, of course, say “thank you!” I don’t really expect a response. She always replies “you’re welcome!” Or some variation. And for some reason, that’s awkward. Is it just me? I know in normal manners, that is the right response. Why does it sit funny?

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.
