I got my shit handed to me because I said someone is mentally challenged. But apparently where I work that is considered hate speech. Is there a place where I can read the new terms? Like do we call all people from South America something or is it like Spanish American or Mexican American and so forth?
I almost got fired because we have cubicle’s. And my boss asked where a co-worker is at and (I meant the hair color) I just flippintly said oh you can see his black head over there. I got a major write up and had to appologize for being insensitive
I think you had a foot in mouth kinda day. Referring to a co worker as a black person is fine, or “you can see his head over there” is fine, but mixing the two makes it seem the wrong thing is being highlighted.
