What Drs. and nurses, etc. will say during a procedure. 

I wonder what they all say about our big and ugly keesters during the procedure as well?

totally uncalled for comments, ending up costing them big insurance moola and even some jobs maybe?

Just like anywhere though,  open your mouth and say the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person who pushes the legality issues to the full extent, can get fired.  Seen it done to a few co-workers over the years. 

I once got 'accused' of sexual harrassment some 20+ years ago from a newly hired office co-worker lady 10+ years older than me recently divorced (and ugly) with kids was a MAN HATER at the time, totally false accusations and ended up in the mgrs. office for over 1 hour telling me if any other issues like this arise during my time there,  I would get fired.  I ended up SOOO PISSED after that meeting when leaving that I slammed the branch mgrs. door so hard it darn near broke in two.  I am pretty sure the branch mgr. knew it was false accusations knowing me and all (I NEVER touched her, etc.) and let it slide for now but he had to take it seriously for legal reasons am sure.

Damn that's bad, I always wonder what they talk about when your out, that's worth it, good hunk of change

For calling him a retarted for watching them start an IV when he said he was going to pass out if he wachted it? Yeah that was worth a half a mil. People need to thicken their skin! And Jury's need to stop the stupid crap.

Yeah - I ONCE got accused of sexual / racial harrassment -

I was using the Z-248 computer on her desk to do some wordprocessing that I needed to do while she was NOT at her desk. You know how far THAT investigation went (down a rabbit hole). Of course I was exonerated.

Another gal and I were the first ones to work, every day (0530).  She a known liberal (who had clerked for Ginsburg), me a known conservative (who came from Strategic Air Command).  We got along well, and never talked politics, since neither would convince the other of anything.  She was long and tall, and incredibly stacked.  I was normal ( ).

She always carried this big gallon jug full of water with her (DC water was suspect, in any quantity).  So at O'dark thirty as I was keying in, she would come by with her big jug of water clutched under her bosom.  She would ask.... do you like my jug?  I burst out laughing.... I think I better take the fifth.  Don't you like my jug (batting eyelashes)?  Lilly, I love your jug (big smile).  I thought so.... have a good one (big smile).

She was married, as was I.  Harmless.  But in the workplace, you better know your audience before you dabble in innuendo.

We all had to take sexual harassment class at work.  In class I was in, one of the foremen asked the instructor if you're talking to a female employee and the F word is frequently used would that be sexual harassment.  The instructor said of course and the foreman said I knew I should have fired that bitch.

Yah,  best to KNOW your audience (co-workers) and even if you do,  they could very easily still report us and get us fired on a whim. 

Just last Thursday me and the other married 40 year old female with 5 kids at home well stacked (DD's) only ones in our office 2nd shift, which we have worked for like 9 years together now,  was looking ALL OVER for her id badge to sign out at 11 p.m. end  of the shift.  I helped her look at her desk/lunch bag, etc. and she kept touching her body all over like where is my id badge.  She eventually found it in her back pocket of her tight fitting blue jeans.  I made a comment that probably, if said to the wrong person, could get me fired stating if you didn't have so much well rounded padding back there you would have noticed it right there in the first place.  She just laughed and said 'hey now' but she flaunts her top half to all who want to sneak a peek near weekly and our much older female mgr. boss HATES that she does that telling her all the time to dress 'appropriately'  not able to show 1/2 of her top 1/2 off.    She loves the attention since am sure she gets NONE at home. 

Just this past last year a 20 year veteran of our dock being a supervisor (very good/hard worker) was joking around with another male dock worker (whom I would NEVER hang around with nor trust-pretty arrogant and boisterous),  and he jokingly put a cordless drill with drill bit in it in the maintenance shop down by the crotch of this other co-worker and pushed the button to make it spin.  He did NOT touch the blue jeans but came pretty close down there apparently.  The co-worker took it as a 'threat' and was NOT a joking matter and got that supervisor fired over it the very next day. 

Yah,  he should not have done that for sure even jokingly especially since he was a supervisor on the dock been there 20 years should have known better they always preach SAFETY FIRST, but little stuff like that can get you fired if done to the WRONG person.  Now, if he would have hit his blue jeans with the drill bit,  then YES, fired, but mess with the wrong person,  can still get you terminated.    I still hear that that fired supervisor now almost 1 year later is still looking for a job, NOT doing well health wise either has spinal/neck issues,  since even so-so mediocre paying jobs are hard to come by. 

It's interesting though where I work,  if ANYONE leaves for whatever reason whether on dock or office, like 3 have in our office quit/left the past 2 years or so, they do NOT re-hire for that job, just push MORE and MORE work onto the ones stupid enough to stay there.  Seems to be the American way though since my wife who needs another office person who is working 50+ hour work weeks (working on Sundays like today) and EXEMPT technically NOT getting paid overtime, but at least her supervisor is looking to hire for another person as well as another person since another person in their dept. just quit on Friday for another job elsewhere as well.  If she did not make decent money, which she does,  she would be outta there as well, being stuck there for life.  At least she gets rewarded with decent raises.

They're giving classes now on how to sexually harass?  It's about time they started getting some skill development in that area.  In my professional experience most of our sexual harassment was learned by trial and error.

Yes, but with training, I'm pretty good at it now.

Besides instructors, our training was a series of films, produced at no small expense to the G (you).  Picture a room full of lawyers, already well trained and versed in Fed law and regulations, watching what amounted to looney tunes (of course, dummed down to the lowest common denominator).  Most of it was simply hilarious, and the room rocking with laughter.  We were told it was not designed to be funny.... but instructive.  More laughter.  My favorite was the nearly felonious portrayal of serial rapist type, staring at a good looking woman (in charge).  He didn't speak, he just stared ferociously like some Hitchcock movie, licking his lips, breathing heavily.  Like a silent in-person dirty phone call.

From the back of the room, someone yells..... hey, William is just like that.  To which William says, I am not!!!.  More roars of laughter.  A gal speaks up... I'd just smack the crap out him with the PDR (big heavy medical book).  More laughter.  Hours and days entirely wasted, and our daily production quotas running with no letup.

The instructors were not happy with our class; we were not appropriately serious and invested in our reprogramming.

My dad told me a story in the last few years he was working in the GM plant (union of course very hard to get fired) in the late 80's about what went down when a big female black women could not keep up on the assembly line. He kept talking and talking to her to get her job done was stopping the assembly line just for her not being able to keep up.  My dad, being there 33 years, finally had enough and told her if she cannot keep up,  go home and stay in the kitchen where you belong.  He got sent to his bosses office for over 1 hour and after he got yelled at stating you CANNOT say that even though it was obvious she was not doing her job fast enough,  my dad said on the way out, 'thanks for the 1 hour break'.  Boss said GET OUTTA HERE!

"union of course very hard to get fired"

that's what is wrong with unions

the only job protection we had was to make the boss money

whenever he felt like it.....here is you paycheck now GET OFF THE JOBSITE

GOODBYE !!!

oh you were still in the union just jobless. at the union hall waiting for another one

not to make it union vs. non-union issue, but unions 'normally' get paid MORE than non-union workers by far with more perks as well.  My dad got 'laid off'  from GM plant several times in his 30+ years there and when even on strikes I remember growing up in the late 70's, into the 80's, he still got paid better off in reduced income from GM than any unemployment check would have done.

I even worked for GMAC financing (NON union) part of GM (sort of) for 6 years in the 90's right out of college and would still be there even if the pay was so-so (NON union pay) at around 9 bucks per hour starting out since the benefits were very good enjoying my job UNTIL they decided to close our branch and move to Milwaukee.  Couldn't have been too good of pay though since only 5 of the 40 office workers stayed with the company all being near retirement of course.  Besides being so-so pay,  the one thing that upset me about being NON-UNION was even though we all work for GM,  the christmas bonus for us NON UNION workers was 500 bucks (less than 300 net by the time taxes were taken out) while the UNION workers got paid elsewhere a few grand in a christmas bonus. 

Another person I know works in a steel construction mfg. operation in their shipping dept. making very good money UNION job at starting pay of near 21 bucks per hour while the office workers are NON-UNION making starting pay of 17 bucks per hour, but pretty much same benefits at least.   However, my 72 year old uncle, doing basically the same UNION job as the other person I know now been there only 3 years, makes a tad less than the person I know being there only 3 years and my uncle has been there for 52 working years ever since out of high school almost - go figure.   I see that where I work as well though being NON UNION jobs.   Our company starts NEWLY hired employees about 25-50 cents LESS IS ALL than the co-workers doing the EXACT same job as people being there 10+ years now having to train them as well doing 1/2 of what the seasoned veterans do daily.   I helped train 2 asst. office supervisors newly hired (both quit within 6 months back to back right after each other) NOT even capable of doing 1/2 of what me or a few other co-workers in our office can do, and yet they received starting pay of 25-50 cents more than we make doing EXACT same job.  Go figure? 

Anyways,  back on topic,  I guess I have to figure out how to use the record button on my smartphone that I finally got a few months ago 'just in case'  I have to go in for surgery?   You would think the surgeons, nurses, etc. in that colonoscopy procedure would be just a tad more professional being in that profession?

I always ask for the longer, thicker one, so I guess anything said after that would be fair game.
