      It is ridiculous, but it’s also the rules HR organizations go by. What I described was the actual policy when I worked at Microsoft, as told to me by a friend in HR who said she’d had extensive training in handling sexual harassment. I don’t know if it would literally be applied if somebody said “gas the nigs” but AFAIK it’s the protocol you have to follow in a business to protect yourself from lawyers. Therefore if I were a business owner that’s what I would do, because keeping my livelihood and keeping my other employees employed would mean more to me than feeling like an angel of justice or getting upvotes on lemmy.
