Suspended for wrongspeak

But why ?
- For the same reason you don't punch your friend in the throat for playing "made you look." It's a crazy overreaction. As others said, who tried talking to the guy first?
- Today's pedestrian definition of a hostile work environment (that is, how companies act in practice rather than what the courts decide) seems to be "anything anyone thinks is hostile, with special weight given to victims who have more social street cred than the assailants." How you take your coffee could constitute creating a hostile work environment, especially if the person accusing you is a transgender Somalian refugee and you're a white guy. If personal opinion is the litmus test, then of course the argument could be made. The bar's so low it's on the ground.
Please love yourself.

It is also possible that they'd already had a chat with him over something else, which might explain what appears to be an over-reaction.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Sure, if the premise was different, a last straw kind of situation might make the suspension completely reasonable. But we're pontificating about one news writeup involving people and an environment no one here knows personally, so just making shit up about the argument foundations seems completely okay.
