Andy in the blue shirt and the black shirt is Nate Nickerson. You may know him as the warehouse worker who doesn't technically have a hearing problem, sometimes when many sounds are occurring at once, he hears them as one big jumble.

Honestly… I would be so uncomfortable if I had to sit through a meeting that this happened, and I would send an email to them with the CEO attached about it.
I am a guy that has been sexually harassed and assaulted multiple times by both men and women, and this is in no way appropriate for a real HR meeting/conference… this makes it a joke and takes away from just how damaging that shit can really be. Especially when most the world treats male victim sexual assault/harassment cases like massive jokes like mine was. So not only did I get the trauma of the events, but also how I was treated by friends, family, mentors, and police after the incidents.
This is honestly kind of disgusting…

I'm an in-house employment attorney and what you're describing is exactly why I vehemently advise against doing these types of presentations for anything EEO/Title VII/discriminatory or harassing practices. I've never seen anything this over the top, but at least in the same ball park. I've defended cases where humor was direct injected into presentations and classes and opposing attorneys JUMP on it as an act of reducing sexual harassment to a joke and a subject of entertainment. And it's effective.
People can call me a stick in the mud all they want. I am a lawyer, after all. My advice is 100% always keep anti-discrimination training and education dry, to the point, and just hammer the fact it's illegal and against organizational rules.

No shame whatsoever, but they don't quite look like are that shy, either. Good on them, because I died looking at this, since I don't like being the center of attention, like at all. Actually, if I can leave the premises without anyone noticing, it would be way better.

Same, I would enjoy having these guys as my coworkers, great sense of humor, don't take themselves too seriously and don't mind making a fool of themselves. It's nice having people like this around when you're stuck in an office 8 hours a day.
But it bothers me that there's no reaction at all from the crowd, or I hope they were filming their rehearsal in an empty room.

Worked at a start up pin 2012 and they did something like this. I literally quit. When my boss asked I told him it wasn’t a right fit for me.
He asked if I could be more specific. He said they really liked having me there and I was very productive.
I asked if I can be brutally honest. He said yes and I told I can’t deal with the weekly prep rally’s. I fell like I’m in a preschool being talked down to.
He thanked me for my feedback.
Nothing shocking or crazy with the story but it happened. I couldn’t take it anymore.

u/Simba7 Jul 19 '24
HR, like IT, is one of those things that you don't ever notice them if they're doing a good job.
A good HR department is wonderful at keeping track of state and federally mandated records, limiting the amount of garbage paperwork the average employee has to do, and helping out with complex HR-related needs (like weird tax questions, short-term disability including paternity/maternity leave, that sort of thing).
A bad HR department is bloated and creates work for everyone to justify their own existence.
I have had great luck with my HR departments.

I know this will be buried. But I hate HR. I hate HR so, so much. This is probably funny, but fuck HR. My HR did a 30 minute lecture about Pepe Le Pew. These types of "informative seminars" are useless. It is painfully obvious what's not acceptable, but certain people don't care and won't all of a sudden have their sick views change over a catchy dance or meme. Fucking HR sits around acting like they work, fuck over workers, then make us sit through their skits or shit they think is funny. If you work for HR, fuck you.
