Insensitivity in the Workplace
Even though I hear dozens of employment discrimination stories a day, I am still shocked at some of what I hear. I assumed that the sensitivity training and sexual harassment training would at the very least make these employees be less brazen in their actions. Unfortunately-that is not always the case. Recently, a client showed me emails that have been sent around to an entire department of a big financial institution, letting everyone know that a colleague (who had been on maternity leave) was coming back to work to "re-enter the real world". As if taking care of a newborn was some mindless and effortless task! While these emails are likely not actionable, they are certainly insensitive, to say the very least.
