Just Had An Email Come Round At Work.....

[ToraToraTora]

I am invited to a series of events to celebrate "bisexual awareness week" - Can anyone tell me the possible relevance of peoples bedroom arrangement has to my employment? This week it was something else of similar irrelevance! What's happenning in this strange world? Why is everyone obsessed with peoples' sexual preferences? How is it possibly relevant to what we do at work?

It's NOT about 'bedroom activities', TTT.  (Indeed, many people who identify as bi-sexual might be entirely celebate).  It's about the mental health issues that can affect members of th bi-sexual community through misunderstandings and prejudice in the wider world.

Scroll down to "What is the significance of Bisexual Awareness Week?" here:

You were chosen at random. There's no connection with what anyone does at work.

A lot of big London companies hold awareness meetings for staff.  You should hear my husband on the subject.... or on second thoughts perhaps it's best you don't.  😂

chico: "It's about the mental health issues that can affect members of th bi-sexual community through misunderstandings and prejudice in the wider world" - ok but what has that got to do with us doing our jobs?

[ToraToraTora]

17:22, it was a blanket email.

[ToraToraTora]

17:28, I'd like to meet your old man Naomi!

[naomi24]

He doesn't get involved - he doesn't have to - but it drives him nuts!  With some companies it's become an obsession.

Perhaps you give off 'bi-sexual' vibes, TTT, and they think these events will be of use to you 😜

17:35 see 17:31

[Ken4155]

Yeah, you were posting that as i typed. I was looking for a 'tongue-in-cheek- emoji for a while- to no avail.

[ToraToraTora]

This week we had "microgressions" - is that just a little slap?

[douglas9401]

Where numba wun sun works there's none of this stuff. Management describe it as a place of business and nowt else, what's done in free time is a matter for members of staff and their rainbow flags.

Are you sure that everybody is getting these emails?  It could be that they are trying to tell you something about your interactions with other people.😉

[ToraToraTora]

Yes I'm sure wolf. I don't interact with anyone except in a professional capacity and with a few liquid lunch pals.

[Lie-in King]

It's not that long ago they invited you to non-binary day events.  Perhaps they think you need to loosen up... 😏

[ToraToraTora]

17:51: bang on that's how it should be.

[roadman]

its called a cookie a website puts it on you and then you are marketed to its because youve been googling about bisexuals 🧐

[ToraToraTora]

17:54, why? it's irelevant to my work.

[ToraToraTora]

can someone have a go at the question rather than all the peace taking juvenile Row locks?

[douglas9401]

Okay, what do you do at work?
