So I (male) wore a short sleeve polo shirt to work one day last week. Today I get a call from HR that a female coworker reported me and was really distressed bc she could see my nipples through my shirt.... continued

Jesus Christ. People need to get over nipples. Everyone has them. The people who are uncomfortable are the ones that need to deal with their own issues.

Omg!!! If she was distracted by your nipples then SHE has the issue not you. Tell HR that you feel sexualized and would like to lodge a counter complaint.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

I'm female btw.

likefunnysmartuplifting

I was going to say the same thing - turn it around and say that after thinking about it, you feel victimized by her specializing you. That is so absurd (F here).

Nooooo! I can't believe this is actually a thing!

Must have been cold in the office.

Complaints about nipples? Some people need to areola their grievances.

likefunny

Forced? I don't know about that but definitely a set-up. Call it contrived.

smart

Power move would be to get them pierced now.

In all seriousness, this is the world we’ll be living in if we make “feelings” the threshold for complaint.

“Really distressed”? Damn. Reminds me why the worst part of my job is employees.

like

There’s no way this actually happened. And if something similar did, HR wouldn’t disclose who made the complaint.

like

Happened. And the circumstances did not allow for much anonymity. But you are right, they didn't reveal her name but assumed that I might be able to deduce the origin of the complaint. The suggestion was that I could not confront and retaliation is a broad tent. We are supposed to do frequent feedback on projects, so I think the idea was that I shouldn't let this incident affect the project feedback.

Imma start doing this as retaliation against the patriarchy. Woman’s a genius and doesn’t gaf about your nips just wants equality

funny

Do you have your nipples pierced or something?

It's none of her business. She probably hasn't been laid in 20 years.

like

If this were me, I would have been upset that the complaint was about my nips and not Walker and Texas Ranger. Welcome to the gun show 💪

I'm curious how HR could hold a straight face without busting out laughing at her?

Junior associate here (2L). Got some ‘constructive feedback’ from a 4L. We went over budget on a matter, and 4L thinks it has something to do with my inefficient delegation to 0Ls (and not the all the out of scope work the client asked us to do but doesn’t want to pay for...). Delegated tasks included basic grunt work like splitting out documents, preparing execution versions and other low-level tasks. 4L asked me to check with them before I delegate anything in the future. Thoughts?

People with dogs: how did you get your dog used to city life? My dog is almost a year and half now (having lived the past ~5 months in the city) and he is terrified of the city. We used to live in the suburbs so much more quiet and low key. The cars going by, sudden sounds, bikes/scooters are a huge stressor, but more than anything it’s people - if he sees anyone walking or around him he panics and tries to flee. I can’t afford to send him to an expensive dog trainer and don’t know what to do :/
