Some Things are Better Left Unsaid

I was recently directed to a post at PassiveAggresiveNotes.com, which included a number of signs posted at different businesses explaining why they were closed. Among those signs, these two caught my attention as an HR professional:



While these signs are undoubtedly funny for those of us looking at it from an outside perspective, "Tonya" would certainly have reason to proceed with a lawsuit, and the female employees at the Bang Bang Bar would have grounds to file a sexual harassment suit as well.

Always be sensitive as to what personal information you are sharing about your employees, and don't let your personal feeling get in the way of your professional role. Take a deep breath and a step back from the situation, and hopefully you can refrain from these types of situations.
