@@danriley3826 I am of the opinion that the whole problem was started when we added "gender" to describe the female and male sexes. The fact is there are two sexes, man, woman and known and rare genetical "errors", if you will, anything else is agenda driven narrative, not biological fact.
DIE culture has now become weaponised. One person dislikes another - due to envy, perceived differences and feels threatened for no good reason - so they accuse them of discrimination when none happened. I am going through this. A team member who has iced me for 5 months (refused to acknowledge or speak to me - ignoring me, treating me as though I don't exist) and then she brought a Grievance against me for age discrimination because I had answered an work related email late - weeks after she sent it to me - and for offering to make her tea along with other team members (with no reference - implied or direct or indirect about her age). What she actually felt was embarassment that I was not sinking to her level by icing her back so she decided to weaponise my professionalism and civility in the face of her unprofessionalism and incivility. I was never going to sink to her level and she hated that becuase she then could not say that I was actually icing her instead - or we were both as bad as each other. This is how manipulative she was and how the investigation process actually aides and assists this kind of bullying - by taking their Grievances seriously instead of just stomping them underfoot. So now I am being investigated for age discrimination and the fact finding session took place a couple of weeks ago. How dare they and her put me though this level of stress and fear for my job. I have now raised a grievance against this Grievant and our supervisor and criticised the Grievance process for not applying reasonable discernment in assessing whether such a Grievance should be followed though when the prospects of upholding it were never going to hold up. To put it simply: I am being victimised by the Grievant and by the HR investigation managers.
You can't say anything anymore. Offence is taken not given. And how the hell can you tell what someone thinks or feels? Anyone could say "that made me feel uncomfortable" with no evidence, just a statement and someone could potentially lose their job or even their career. And that's just not right.
Daniel, you have answered a question that has been bugging me for the last decade. I and about 100 others we all terminated about 10 years ago from the best job I ever had because someone who had only been there a few months quit and then claimed they were 'offended' by something some manager had said, which may have been true because they were useless. Our boss was American and reacted adversely to this, fired us all and went back to the states. In the 'your're all done' email there was a rant about free speech but I actually never understood why until now. So in my freshly enlightened state I have two questions; firstly at what point did we loose free speech in this country and who (as in which lobby/donator pushed this through), and secondly could you do a short on the rest of the world? is this unique to the UK or are there other countries (excluding dictatorships) that make free speech illegal? Really interesting stuff. oh, and please keep these video's coming, they are really fantastic!
We are rapidly heading towards the world where people will soon feel safer not talking to anyone at all. I have a new colleague, who had some meetings with a challenging client and the first conclusion she jumped to was, "He behaves this way because I am a woman"! Naturally, this is the person, who adds pronouns after her name in her email signature just in case you thought she identified as an attack helicopter!
Or a world where bigots have to think twice about how they behave. Depends how you look at it I guess. Your unnecessary mocking of gender pronouns shows everyone why you feel so threatened.
@@Sirjohnfootball So we need multiple split gated societies, where people can be what they are and want without needing to be around those who are different. All the whinging would stop then yes? Tolerance leads to complete societal destruction, so separation is necessary to avoid this happening.

This is why the office has become such a miserable place to work and one of the many reasons people do not want to return.
This is why I'm quite happy working at home with little or no contact with my co-workers. It's better to avoid the minefield than stumble through it.
"Being a bitchhhhhrill in meetings" 💀
The world is going mad. People are being offended when someone simply disagrees with them and labels it harassment.
Or just have a joke and fun without referring to peoples protected characteristics, it isn’t hard to have fun at work without offending people
Or when someone makes a scientific fact, that people cannot change their biological fact.

Keeping a straight face after the ‘Female line-manager being a bitchhhrill in meetings’ line is proper barrister-level composure. 😂
@Daniel Barnett - 1:32 - I would ask your videographer to change the pop up word 'preception' to 'perception'.

In the eyes of an Employment Tribunal, simply replace the word “Banter” with “Serious Harassment” if you are curious as to their opinion of it 😂

Free speech does not entitle an individual to insult another. Its not difficult to be kind and respectful in a workplace.

Do "workers", i.e uber workers have the same rights?
Yes - the Equality Act applies to workers as well as employees.
