Hahaha, Argi pls

[mark300]

Shaz that article has made me angry now. as a HR Major, who gives a rats. Hey guys has always been non gender specific in my view, its just a group.

its getting to the point where its all becoming too formal, and people appreciate a workplace for its informalities and the ability to be able to have a laugh in the workplace and joke. 

 

fork sake. who wants to start an email with "dear colleague with no prejudice to your gender"  

[Shaz]

pack of cubts, all of them.

 

I'm not changing shit. 

[mark300]

there are much more important things that the diversity council could be working on than the term "Hey Guys"

like divesting themselves 

[Shaz]

Haha yep. 

 

Good media skills I guess, got me fired up for something I would normally not give a shit about.

it shits me. i cant even begin to express how irate that article has made me. 

 

there are so many things that anyone in HR should and can focus on before we get to the point where said HR person sits in their chair in their office one morning and goes "i am going to issue a memorandum banning the phrase "hey Guys" in this office today" 

 

must be a slow news day.

Just start every email with "Oi"

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has defended the phrase and says campaigners shouldn’t try to interfere in free speech at workplaces.

“I think we can take this kind of concern too far,” she said during a doorstop interview in Sydney today.

“There are some generic words that should not cause offence. It would depend on the circumstances but I don’t think we should try and interfere with the freedom of speech in this country to a point where people are too concerned about day-to-day conversations.”

 

 

quite possibly the most sensible, common sense remark to ever come out of that womans mouth. 

well done Julie Bishop. take a bow.

Been away from his computer for 30min now, and I need him to do something, not at lunch or a meeting or anything legit, came on 45min late today and done SFA from what I can see on his task list.

there are plenty of issues in the defence forces he should be working on before attacking the private sector on gender neutral greetings.
