Let's just say I'd not want to test it with my HR department. It does look like something from Futurama, which is cool, though. -- -- Derrik Derrik Walker v2.0, RHCE dwalker@doomd.net "Those UNIX guys, they think weird!" -- John C. Dvorak
Wow, that's pretty scary to think you'd be testing an he department. Our society is collapsing Bill Degnan twitter: billdeg vintagecomputer.net On May 16, 2017 8:33 PM, "Derrik Walker v2.0 via vcf-midatlantic" < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Yeah seriously. Never again. 5th grade was a loooong time ago; I've no desire to be treated like that again. -Dave On 05/17/2017 10:56 AM, Drew Notarnicola via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

Yes but if you're job culture requires it you have to play the game. You have to pick your battles. It's necessary to avoid un-necessary flack because some bozo from your computer group posted a cartoon with little cartoon boobies in it without being sensitive (sorry). I debate that HR would really care in most places, I assume Derrik's work is the exception not the rule. NOTE: I got this cartoon from a newspaper clipping from 1994. Philadelphia area. The same page had a Strawbridges department store ad which says something about whether the publisher felt it was bad taste, etc. The page was folded over to fit the cartoon and taped to the side of a VT-220 terminal which I presume was used in an office setting. So, trying to wrench this back into on-topicedness .. Computer Graphics 101 ...that is the source of the cartoon, why I even posted it in the first place.

I debate that HR would really care in most places, I assume Derrik's work is the exception not the rule. Bigger companies are very risk adverse and have strict policies to prevent offending ANYBODY. I currently work for 100,000+ person IT servicing company on a contract to a 350,000 person company. But even when I worked for a 10,000 person company, they still had the same kind of policies.
Having said that, It's always better on the side of caution with these things. Better safe than fired. -- -- Derrik Derrik Walker v2.0, RHCE dwalker@doomd.net "Those UNIX guys, they think weird!" -- John C. Dvorak
