Yeah, I know what you mean. I got called into see the corporate shrink in March for making some politically correct remark of which I was only informed vaguely of the specifics (supposedly not, as I suspect, comments in support of the WOT). Thanks to a fellow Freeper who was an expert in dealing with this kind of thing (WISH I could remember who), I played along and even tried to turn the tables by letting her know the insensitive and unkind remarks made about my particular ethnicity-disability. Oh, she assured me, I would be welcome to lodge complaints against the offenders. Yeah, sure, I thought and get a reputation for being thin-skinned as well as politically incorrect.
The one thing I learned is that listed corporations, even if they can't afford an adequate staff of people who actually do the work and, consequently, have the worker bees do the job of 1.5 to 2 others, they always manage to afford someone in HR or training or whatever other department is assigned to insulate them from lawsuits against the PC nazis-- often by hiring one.
Yes, even in tough times, our company maintains a 'General Manager of Diversity'. I kid you not! Off the record, I asked my boss if there was really a need for such a position. His reply was that I would simply not believe the need for this position.
