Me: Yes sir I understand that the office door cannot be closed when two colleagues of opposite gender are alone together due to sexual misconduct concerns but as an openly bisexual employee I have to ask if leaving two colleagues of the same gender entirely unsupervised isn't a double standard

Me: Like. I feel I should also have my ass covered if a same-gender colleague accuses me of shit, you know

Bossman: Nahhhhhhh it's good

The morally grey cathedral goblin that lives on my shoulder and judges the value of my kneejerk impulses: If you grabbed his ass right now he would learn such an important lesson forever but we don't roll like that bro

Me: (out loud) Okay

Bossman: We’re only compliant enough to stay out of the press. It’s not like I need to know the difference between gender and sexuality.

So I'm a first responder at my workplace. I'm literally a trained and certified medical professional. I got called for a coworker passing out a while back. I got there and they had the coworker now consious in one of our conference rooms along with the shift manager. The coworker was still feeling woozy so I start going through the assessment process.

This coworker was a young woman, I am a slightly less young man. I 100% get why the shift manager didn't want to leave me alone with her. At the same time though, I am bound by HIPAA, the shift manager is not. I can't disclose any medical information she tells me to anyone, the shift manager has no such restriction. So now I'm left trying to figure out how to ask my patient some rather personal medical questions with a lookie lou sitting right there listening to everything she says. That is invasive and uncomfortable when I'm asking about shit like her period (because low iron can be an issue) but becomes especially problematic when one of the questions I need to ask is if they're using any drugs (I work in a manufacturing plant, it happens). I don't record that they are if they say yes and I can't tell anyone (I just monitor for a bit in case of OD and ensure they get a ride home), but nobody is ever going to say yes to that question with their bosses boss sitting right there. Luckily the shift manager eventually got called away for something and I had a brief chance to ask those questions.

Like I said, As a man I 100% get why they don't want to leave me alone with women. At the same time though in situations like that it makes my job several times harder and is a potential legal disaster for me. It wouldn't be an issue at all if I was treating a guy. Also it's even more anoying because I'm fucking asexual. I get that they have no way to know that and people lie. I'm just pissed that situations like this get so complicated because the world is full fucking rapist assholes.

Your story is an example of how we have left the post-modern behind and founded the meta-modern world or from the OP entered the realm of the grey cathedral goblin.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 32 points 1 week ago

bold of you to assume he would learn any sort of lesson as opposed to firing you and immediately forgetting it happened

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 6 points 1 week ago

Do it to your junior and spout bullshit about it being over the top and fake

the cAssthedrule goblin - FTFY

There's one rule: ==please incorporate teh word rule in your post titles==

[-] Tenniswaffles 36 points 1 week ago

The "one" rule is you have to post before you leave. You absolutely don't need to put rule in the title

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 1 week ago

I'm a rule breaker, apparently

[-] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

auch a rebel

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

On @196@lemmy.lalhaj.zone, I saw yesterday, the quote, "==please incorporate teh word rule in your post titles==", and posted it above. Now I can't find it, and must get back to work. Also this is not a pipe!

[-] PeachyMcPeachface 15 points 1 week ago

Mod here: Not a cause for removal and we have a lot of rules, actually. The incorporating rule into posts is more of a suggestion to keep the culture going.

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/130970 "==please incorporate the word rule in your post titles== Here are the things that get you banned: -saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad or hexbear account -tankie behaviour -nazi behaviour -authoritarian behaviour -genocide denial -prejudice of any kind -anything else that is clearly bad

Things that get your post/comment removed: -AI generated content -anything in the banlist -posts that are so off topic that they don’t fit on 196 at all -moldy memes (old memes, crusty memes, irrelevant memes. The type of things you’d see on your aunt’s Facebook page or Elon musk’s Twitter account with a laughing emoji as the caption) -corpoposting

Ban length varies, and is mostly based off of whether or not I think you will change your behavior. I have baned certain people for upwards of 2000 days.

---------EDIT:NSFW RULES--------- NSFW Content is now fully permitted BUT it must be tagged. Any NSFW content that has not been tagged and blurred will be removed. Content warnings should also be added to the title in brackets. Example: [penis] or: [explicit description of sex]. Non-sexualized breasts of any gender are not considered inappropriate and therefore do not need to be blurred/tagged. Yes, even female breasts.

IRL GORE IS NOT PERMITTED UNDER ANY CONDITION.

Please leave any suggested edits in the comments.

JAN 2024 UPDATE: MOLDY MONDAYS Monday is now moldy Monday. on this day and only this day moldy memes are not only allowed, but encouraged. The crustier the better. The type of thing that’s been reposted at least 2,000 times with filters and bad crops and watermarks and hopefully minions. please caption with moldy rule

If you have any issues, please reach us at 196mods@protonmail.com. PLEASE do not dm me, as I am not consistently available and tend to step away from the mantle for weeks to months at a time."

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

Thanks for ALL of that. I hope you could just copy paste it. I do luv me some 196, but am not terribly creative, so have not posted near as much as I"ve enjoyed.

[-] tb_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I hope you could just copy paste it.

See the linked post at the top of their reply

[-] OrnateLuna 5 points 1 week ago

Very based for not needing nsfw tag on posts depicting breasts in a non sexual manner

[-] thoughtfuldragon 15 points 2 weeks ago

OP is a bisexual tho.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Not at midnight around here, that's for fuckin' sure!

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

its tradition

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 23 points 1 week ago

What do you do about nonbinary employees? Like, if drag is a dragon rider, is drag not allowed to be left alone with a dragon? Or not allowed to be left alone with anyone but a dragon rider?

[-] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 9 points 1 week ago

I mean, if you constantly refer to yourself in the third person, you're going to be unemployed, so it's not something drag should concern dragself with, is it?

[-] nicknonya 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

behavior like yours is why the world is so shit to queer and neurodivergent people. you see someone doing something slightly weird and cannot resist the urge to insult them. fuck all the way off

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 18 points 1 week ago

Drag doesn't see anyone here who refers to themself in the third person.

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Drag is awesome and should continue to be as drag is.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 week ago

Thank you!

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That guy is dickhead but 'dragself' goes hard, you should add it to your vocab lmao

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 8 points 1 week ago

Oh, drag has been using the first person reflexive for a long time now. Ironically, that transphobe was gendering drag correctly.

I'm gonna be talking shit about you later, but I want to do it right. So why don't you tell me your pronouns?

[-] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 week ago

Oh look, someone is doing something eccentric online that doesn't actually harm anyone!

Better extrapolate that to their real life, make assumptions about that life and leverage that to make fun of them. Gotta make sure people conform to my expectations of behaviour online, right?

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

maybe i'm old, but i have no idea what a dragon rider is. am i boomer now?

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 13 points 1 week ago

It's someone who climbs on top of a dragon and sits there while the dragon is flying. Often while using a sword or other weapon, or while guiding the dragon in combat.
