[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Say a senior leader ran a research group that took in college students for training. The students are paid a stipend.

On the end of the program, senior leader takes everyone out for a simple lunch at a nearby restaurant.

During the conversation while seated, Student 1 (say 1 is a federally recognized race) tells the story of a former faculty who really made life hell for her in almost abusive conditions as an assistant. Student 2 (2 is another federally recognized race) remarks "I dont want to be racist but I bet that faculty is race 2" then laughs and everyone laughs. Senior leader laughed with them to be polite.

Weeks pass, and apparently Student 3 from a different race then 1 or 2, reports the group to HR for hostile work environment. Note that Student 2 made fun of own race, not student 1 or 3's race.

If senior leader agrees to dei training, will this all just go away?! Any way to fight this?

Love to hear what the actual topic of the research group was.

[b]Sounds like everyone may have been female too[/b], and the story's protagonist, so you're pushing up on gender tropes too at the lunch.

FYI - Student 1 b!t(hing about a former employee person is very unprofessional and easy to look up.

[b]Racist Gossip City at that lunch[/b]. The [b]manager must have set quite the tone for those kind of convos[/b]. THat or she had a bunch of loose lips at lunch. [/quote]

Those are massive assumptions. Is that how you lead your life, jumping to conclusions?[/quote]

OP can answer.

I've been to 25+ years of business, company and recruiting dinners. It ain't the [b]college boys[/b] complaining all time or saying, "I don't want to racist, but was your bad boss XYZ race?!" It's [b]catty females[/b], making themselves look bad.

Yikes, I've been in business 20+ years too, and in my profession, I have seen everything. But, leading with personal biases is a really unhealthy way to view the world and potentially discriminatory to others.[/quote]

Op and HR can answer who the gossip students and gossip manager were. They’ll all be off the survey project and job circuit soon enough. [/quote]
