In a meeting last week with senior members of the organization my manager shared the following when discussing the upcoming skills shortage "Look around the room " there were 6 white males and me, a brown-presenting woman - " there won' be many more white males in our industry in the near future. White Replacement is real and it's coming." I was still in shock when someone else asked a question about a work issue and the conversation was redirected. No one found it odd or inappropriate.

Jesus, can you report this?

I reported to the head of HR. No policies in place to handle this and recommendation is to call the whistle blower line which means months of investigation by a 3rd party (and I wasn't trying to be anonymous) but the company will ultimately make the final call about whether they want to do anything about it since the offender is a major shareholder. It's beyond disappointing in 2025.

I don’t get the problem here. They are saying white men have been given an advantage and that’s ending. What’s the issue?

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

I rented a house that had been vacant for a bit & the prior tenant didn’t do a thorough job cleaning up. Agent indicated the owner would be open to having the house cleaned but I would need to have the house professionally cleaned when I moved out (that was fine w me). I just received the bill from the owner for $250, which is super annoying bc there was no expectation communicated that I would foot the bill for this, more so bc the cleaner did a LOUSY job.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing.
