    If you're going through chemotherapy, the last thing you need is more stress, such as looking for a new job, or getting into an HR-related battle.

    I wouldn't say this is snowflakey - she is going through a ton of shit already. A comment like that wouldn't bother me, but I'm losing my hair already. For some people it would be very upsetting.

    The way I would handle it is I'd ask for a meeting with the person who made the comment, and I would point out to them how hurtful the remark was - "I don't know if you realised, but what you said was very hurtful" type of approach. If it re-occurs, then he hasn't got the 'I was only joking' excuse.

    Yeah, okay. Then as an end note, go upside his head with a stapler.

      I think I had an online corporate training program on this issue that suggested that very response. While also making it clear that you can always go to HR if you'd like to.

      Education is extremely important.

          Empty, or with him in it?

            Is that an incitement to violence?

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              No, it was a trap. If he said 'with him in it', I was going to report Aqua to the FBI.

                I do believe I phrased my response in the form of a question, condoning neither implicitly nor explicitly an incitement to violence, destruction of property, or any other legal infraction generally.

                Please love yourself.

                  I shall of course advise the FBI accordingly.

                    I'm in.

                    I prefer the direct approach.

                      The trap closes.

                        On a related note, I'm sure y'all be glad to know all my hair came back. I think it was stress. A HELOC to pay off some usurious student loan rates and some cortisone shots skillfully placed did the trick.
