True, don’t trust anyone at work because they really all are to get you. Don’t speak to anyone unless it’s a response to a direct question and even then only answer yes or no.

Find another job and sue this company for being so insensitive to the non-freak’s “feelings”.

Take home $50M in a few years and have a nice life. Isn’t this the American way today?

I hope that brave soul has already secured another position or just won a nice lottery payout. Alternatively, perhaps that individual is showing a strength as an entrepreneur. HR would have his cube packed up before the day was out.

“We need every teammate’s voice to champion change and make an impact. “

What the hell does that even mean?

Corporate leaders have been convinced that embracing “diversity” some how helps the bottom line.

Teammates, It’s important we embrace diversity and inclusion in every aspect of our business. That’s why we are bringing teammates together for Day of Understanding workshops on Dec. 6 and Dec. 7. It’s part of our commitment to PricewaterhouseCoopers’ CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion program. And it goes beyond just these two days as we continue to focus on building a more inclusive culture inside and outside XXXXXXXX. We need every teammate’s voice to champion change and make an impact. I hope you will take this opportunity to share your perspectives and experiences, embrace our differences and learn from each other.

I have a friend, very religious, who received one of these from is employer a few years back. It's an invitation to state your opinion. When he stated his religious opinion in the forum they said up to offer opinions, he was fired. He's currently in the midst of a lawsuit for religious discrimination and he looks like he's going to win.

Dont get in the middle of this, you will lose. Just email document to the boss (and keep copies that you will send home later, of what the new employee has not done, explain why you are waiting. And ask for help

“we are waiting on this step of project z because the guy has not yet procured part a. We have done all the work-arounds I can see, do you have any suggestions...”

Do not talk about the guys character laziness etc. Just give facts and ask for direction.

This is ominous. It's coming from one of the entities whose audits publicly-traded companies need to pass in order to be publicly traded.

PricewaterhouseCooper press release: More than 150 CEOs make unprecedented commitment to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace

Just state the facts, do not engage in any observations of performance or of a personal nature whatsoever. If the “gay” issue arises, it’s a minefield, go into it knowing that. Have you made any comments regarding this that could come back to bite you? The best answer is that his sexual preference is his business, you’re not concerned about that one way or the other, you’re concerned about company business and that requires that you get the company vehicle that is required.
