Being forced to room with someone at meetings is so degrading and dehumanizing

dehumanizing and degrading? inconvenient yes but dehumanizing and degrading is having your head shaved, stripped naked and then thrown together like cattle to be gassed to death. seriously? grow up.

That's called murder, Adolph.

Having to room with someone is degrading and disrespectful for this only being a sales job and not the military. It's also likely to be a civil rights violation. They already know it's an ADA violation so why do they seem to not care about simple human dignity so they can act like they saved a buck? Like we really need to have iems at a resort? That's strictly an expensive gift to the dignitaries, ie management.

Quit your murderous torturous comparisons and grow up yourself.

Well then little cry baby, quit your room sharing job and let somebody else "suffer" for their "sales" job. You are soft and spoiled.

and you're a hard prick. Does that make you special?

Great answer, quit your job if you don't like them violating your rights. Brilliant!!! That'll fix things. Instead of getting your workplace changed for the better, we should all suck it up and be abused because you think that's a real man's way to go through your career? Enjoy being a slave, I don't.

You're a fucking idiot.

Let's see degrading, dehumanizing, slave, mud slinging names these are all of your words, you are a sad individual and probably not too fun to live with. Why don't you look at what your work place has to offer you that's good? My guess is you have issues with everything in your life.

Also being a slave is kept against your will, you have free will to leave and why don't you?
 








The best part of waking up is not Folgers in your cup, but the smell of last nights dinner brewing from the toilet after your room mate has prepared a treat for you in the bathroom. Hmmmmm... YUM!
 








How in the world can this continue on at a Fortune 50 company? How??? I have a lawsuit all prepared from our meeting in Las Vegas in April of 2009. Statute of limitations in sexual harassment cases has not expired under nevada law nor has it expired in the state I plan to file the lawsuit in.

Due to Pfizer's antiquated and submissive policy of placing employees in the same hotel room with a complete stranger, I have a legitimate complaint. Witness statements and affadavits have now been properly acquired and validated by my attorney.

Today's article in the NYT, My Colleague, My Roommate, notes that corporate America is beginning to borrow a concept from the non-profit and academic world -- having its employees share hotel rooms while on the road. A cost-saving measure that you can imagine, for the most part, is being met with less than enthusiasm.

While I don't normally post allegations from lawsuits -- as a service to anyone needing ammunition to oppose such a forced rooming request, let me offer as Exhibit A, the summary of a lawsuit filed just this past week in Austin, Texas:

Sexual harassment, retaliation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress case seeking exemplary damages in which plaintiff worked for defendant [Company] as a technician and had to share a room with another employee, defendant [Doe] on a work related trip. [Doe] "masterbated [sic] in front of plaintiff " and plaintiff was terminated after he reported the behavior.
From D-1-GN-06-001277, filed in Travis County District Court on April 12, 2006, thanks to the always terrific reporters from the Courthouse News Service.

I rest my case.

I thought it was ok to masturbate as long as you did it on your side of the room. This is wrong? Shit.
 








You can rest all you want, you're a big cry baby. Anyone can take the "worst case scenario" and spread it around as common fare to justify their pathetic cause. Give it up already things aren't gonna change bucko.

At the IEM meeting in Orlando last week I took a crap soooooo enormous that it completely filled the bowl and came out of the water by about 4 inches. It looked like a mountain of poop, surrounded by a creamy brown river. Kinda reminded me of Cleveland, except the creamy brown river wasn't on fire. Rather than flush this masterpiece, I took a small American flag (that came on my IHOP pancakes on the morning prior to the meeting start) and I planted it right atop Poop Mountain.

I then made sure to get down to the meeting room early so my roomie could enjoy my creation when he came back from his morning job. In fact, he atually threw up when he came in the room. He's lucky I didn't have explosive diarrhea.

I believe next meeting I'll be staying alone!!!"




Ok seriously that is the dirtiest, funniest thing I have read in a long time. Could not stop laughing for 5 minutes. Gut busting, ab crunching, hee-haw laughing.
Thank you
