    I don't have much to add, I agree with most of what's been posted, other than this...

    Consider that these special snowflakes (not all of them millennials btw) are entering the workforce and these ideas are starting to take root. CYA all the time. I've seen careers with long LOS ruined by a special snowflake going to HR or using certain language with management.


    ETA: Just saw this tweet by Katherine Timpf that sums it up nicely...

    "Hello, boss? My coworker doesn't seem to understand that my emotional state is his responsibility fire him this is my safe space."
    Imagine you're the coworker with a wife/kids to support. In that position there is nothing that you can do to redeem yourself because it isn't about work. It's about making the special person the arbiter.

    When business have high[er] turn over rates, it still will not sink in. It's a good thing i'm retired, doubt i'd get past the prelim interview.

    So Great-Kazoo, how do you feel about safe places in the workplace?


    I believe they are a necessary part of any business. Without them, where would one keep their long gun while at work, in the car??
    Hell it's bad enough i had to switch to a S.O.B rig for my pistol. That damn IWB was riding up on me like an ex girlfriend in heat. SO ........................You folks provide health benefits after 30 days, correct ?

    Exactly.

    The management team that caters to special snowflakes doesn't stick around long enough to be held accountability. They are either Peter Principle'd up or move on.

    One of the places I saw with this problem had it's share value cut in half (still sinking as I type). They lost their innovators/workers and are scraping by on 1990's infrastructure. This is a technology company and have become a joke in their vertical--you only do business with them if you are contractually obligated. I could go into details but it was all self-inflicted through Libtard PC culture.

    And the best part... The special snowflakes are in the process of being laid off because they are offshoring as much of operations as they can. Oops.

    Kind of like a parasite killing itself if/when it kills the host. Same thing with Liberals.
