[quote=Anonymous]Absolutely do not go to a supervisor. Huge over reaction. You’ve got a few good options here: 1) Listen politely for a minute or two and then say “oof okay that’s enough butchering conversation for me! Who has something less bloody going on? Larlo, got any plans for the weekend?” Keep your tone super, super light! 2) When the butchering conversation starts, turn down your volume and do something else. You know it’s just idle chit chat for the first 15 mins anyway. Check in every once in a while, but other wise, turn it off. 3) Reach out directly to one of the butchers and talk to him. Make it YOUR problem, and make it about queaziness not ethics. “Larlo, I hate to be That Guy but the butchering talk on the monthly call makes me feel sick to my stomach. I know, embarrassing. But I don’t want to miss any of the call not feeling well. Is it possible to skip that topic? I hate to ask, but you’d really be doing me a big favor.” [/quote]
