Diversity obligations gone mad

[Drago]

Blimey. Those in London are clearly an advanced civilisation!

The HSE does suggest that a single bog is only good for up to five women at a time.

Five women sat on the same pan?

I don't make the rules...

No the drying area that they are complaining about is for drying clothes - they don't want their shorts/bras etc pressed up amongst lots of disgustingly smelly men's kit. To say nothing of being freely available for close inspection by pervs.

It's one thing to dry outer clothes that have become soaked through in a rain storm on the way to work but to use the premises as a laundry is taking the p***.
Why can't they put soiled clothes into the bag they took their clean clothes in with?
It sounds as if some members of staff have been overstepping the mark and management is simply clamping down a bit.

I've never heard of anyone taking a bra off at work and hanging it up.

Neither have I! Sometimes I take spare socks into work, never a spare bra

I'd love a job with any facilities in all fairness. How the other half live. O_o

Soon as you get out of London its like the 3rd world.

Yeah, I've experienced that fourth world south of Watford, it's not good.

Quite common in Amsterdam.

Depends upon the nature of your employment. I don't travel to work in a lab coat.

Obviously there are going to be some exceptions.
Otherwise this guy might end up with a whole train carriage to himself on the commute home:

Has anybody considered the possibility that there may actually be some trans people who are very happy with the new arrangements?

Well, me?

 

[r04DiE]

Are we really all so expectant of being pandered to in every walk of life these days that we can reasonably expect our employers to supply changing facilities for all possible combinations of whatever mixed up genders are in existence in modern society?

So which genders should be catered for and which should not?

 

[r04DiE]

So inconveniencing dozens who currently use the showers and very likely putting many women off altogether is a necessary price for the few who might feel uncomfortable with the previous arrangements ? Not in my book.

So what makes one set of people more important than the other? Numbers?

Yes
