Luckily my team is almost entirely male. There are like 2 girls that are in other teams that frequently work with us but that is about it. When those 2 are not in the meeting is a lot of swearing and some colorful and fun language going on. There is something about someone telling you to fucking do this or that and stop wasting time instead of some stupid passive aggressive shit that resonates with me. I love it.
That's the way it used to be, and my department used to have a "handshake agreement" with HR where they'd deliberately avoid our part of the building so they couldn't find something to be offended by. There's still some of that, but some of the more colorful people have gotten promotions that limit their ability to talk like that; and the HR manager we had that "handshake agreement" with is no longer there. So it's moving in the wrong direction.
Sounds like a good time for a strike.
I anticipate I will eventually end up being fired for either refusing to comply with some WuFlu policy or refusing to take "diversity and inclusion" training when they inevitably make it mandatory (currently it is optional).
My counterpart in the mechanical engineering department is similarly unhappy, and I wouldn't be surprised if he retires in the next year. If/when these events happen they will be in bad shape for quite some time, though the company is too big and bureaucratic for them to actually change any policies as a result.
