***ADVICE FOR BOSSES AND WORKERS EVERYWHERE***

1. If you are a boss, and want to cultivate a warm, friendly atmosphere in your organisation, NEVER invite employees to your home. This is a power imbalance! Employees may feel under pressure to attend or agree with your opinions!

2. If you are a boss, and want to cultivate a warm, friendly atmosphere in your organisation, NEVER socialise with your employees.

This is a power imbalance! Employees may feel under pressure to agree with something you say! You could hurt their feelings! That is harassment!

3. If you are a boss, and want to cultivate a warm, friendly atmosphere in your organisation, NEVER attend a Christmas party in non-Covid times.

If you do, it is a power imbalance! Employees may feel under pressure! You could hurt their feelings! That is harassment!

4. If you are a boss, NEVER express an opinion. About anything.

Because your opinion might hurt an employee's feelings! That is harassment borne from a power imbalance!

At all times, shut up and say nothing whatsoever. That is the inclusive, loving way to behave.

5. NEVER allow anyone in your organisation to discuss anything political or topical. It is a guaranteed way for someone else's feelings to be hurt. And that is harassment!

Conversation should be restricted only to the most mundane themes imaginable.

For example, someone discussing what they're having for dinner could hurt someone else's feelings! If they are a meat eater and their colleague is not, that would create a hostile working environment!

For example, someone discussing climate change could ruin a colleague's mental health! Because they don't want to think how bad the world could become for their children! This would also create a hostile working environment!

For example, someone discussing their pregnancy could ruin a colleague's mental health! They may not want children, be desperate to have children but be unable to conceive, or have miscarried.

It would therefore be mean and hurtful for anyone to discuss any aspect of their lives

6. If you are trans or non-binary, absolutely none of the above applies to you. You can do whatever the hell you like.

Don't worry: you will always be viewed as the victim. Because you are a member of the most marginalised group in history. Progressives everywhere support you.

And anyone who questions anything you say is a hateful transphobic bigot, literally Hitler, and is committing LITERAL VIOLENCE.

This especially goes for bosses, teachers and counsellors. If any of them question anything, that is CONVERSION THERAPY, and they are ENDANGERING you.

That concludes this public information broadcast.

Remember everyone: be kind. It's the right side of history! 🙏

PS. Women! Know your place, check your privilege, shut up, and do what the men tell you.

That especially goes for incredibly privileged women bosses, who in no way have worked their backsides off to get where they are in life.
