I'm sorry, this is weird. There is no need for handcuffs in the office. Sounds creepy.

Better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them. Isn’t that the saying?

smart

If you report, I would probably approach it from the standpoint that you and other coworkers would feel very unsafe being alone around him for fear that he might be able to isolate and restrain someone in order to perpetrate an assault.

Idk why the majority of replies here are normalizing for a civilian to be carrying handcuffs at WORK. this isn’t normal. I’m all about minding my own—but this is weird.

Is there a policy against carrying handcuffs around the office? Are handcuffs unethical? What is your concern?

If the manager is tossing around sexual innuendos then you’ll have an ethics matter. Sounds like the guy is compensating for something.

What level is the person with the cuffs?

You do you but I cant see you getting the result you want here if you escalate given what I’ve heard.

Are they an artist representation of the golden handcuffs that have locked him into that job?

If there is an anonymous reporting channel, go through that

Is it the ethics officer carrying the cuffs? What is this joke bowl

No office admin at the front desk. He carries the cuffs

I think this qualifies for reporting under the term "Hostile Work Environment".

Cause yeah that ain't normal. It's a power trip/intimidation move.

What is hostile about it? Just because people do things you think are odd does not mean you have a hostile workplace
