PSA- language and context

[fngTony]

There’s been some overuse of a few words and acronyms. We don’t always have the time to read the context so if a word would have you in the HR office at work then don’t use them here.

Edit. Mostly good humor in the responses. Thought I should elaborate more.

The acronym when used wrongly insults someone’s intelligence. The word can be harmless or an insult or of a sexual nature.

Typically the individual comments don’t warrant any moderation however the frequent use of some language does make us have to read more in-depth for the context which becomes a time suck.

My intent when posting this was to be a simple request so that we can reduce the arguments, derailments and general poor behavior which the language has caused.

Oh, the irony.

Oh, the irony.

Yes it is! Not the acronym I was talking about though.

This might be my favorite post on Rokslide in the last month. Well done!

If so, you been living under the wrong rok.

More a reflection on my sense of humor.

It would be helpful if you would publicly post all of the things we aren't supposed to say so we can adhere to the policy. I've heard HR say some pretty sketchy things over the years.

There are planes of humor beyond the Rokslide-typical half-baked meme based on a vague pop culture reference...some of us appreciate the subtler, more sophisticated forms.

Comparing a business HR Dept to Rokslide?

Hahaha

 

[CorbLand]

Hey, I went and checked. I have used the f bomb in a week or so.

 

[Westernduck]

If we don’t have an HR department at work do we still get to say whatever we want?

 

[justinspicher]

Does that apply to folks that are retired?

 

[Sccritterkiller]

It's 2023 it not called the HR dept anymore, at least not at my company. It has been rebranded as Business Support.
We call it the BS dept..which if fitting...I wish I was making this up.

 

[Yoder]

How about amazing. I'm so sick of hearing it.

generally the only thing that would land you in HR would be commenting on a persons physical looks, mocking a persons disability, or discrimination

Also in todays touchy feeling world, posting pictures of your latest animal kill can land you in HR because you don't represent the cuddly feelings of your company..... sooooooo what sort of line are we trying to draw in the sand??

I frequently want to post "SIRCH NEWB" or "TRY POSTING IN THE RIGHT FORUM" but i'm not trying to ruffle the admin's feathers

I think personal attacks should occasionally be okay.. Too many people belly aching or being coddled. However, if someone is ALWAYS being negative.. then maybe they could use a day off. We don't always need to drop F- bombs but we certainly can't be a bunch of pearl clutchers either.

Have you ever processed cattle? I did with the owner last week. There was some rather graphic language that spewed from mouth region. Didn’t land me at HR or even a reprimand of any sort. So really you’re leaving the door wide open.

Also, two weeks ago checking cows my mare broke in two. I cussed her pretty good with all the vernacular one would use in that certain situation. Again, in front of the owner of the business, no repercussions.

So do we need to use your scale of inappropriate language or can I use mine?

To the HR Dept :

Is 'Harass' one word or two?
