Ageism
Dear HR, Last week I was required to travel to TechReCorp’s head office, or ‘The Mothership’ as it is jocularly referred to by some of my colleagues. It’s a trip I make semi-frequently, as my extensive knowledge, skills and experience are often called upon by the most senior of executives of our company. Knowing its… Read more

Mental Health Week
Dear HR, I don’t want to get a reputation for only contacting you when there’s something to complain about, heaven forbid that I should become the ‘Moaning Milly’ of the office. I wanted to compliment you and the business for the finely organised ‘Mental Health Week’. I’ve always said that there’s a few people in the… Read more

The Poison Spreads
Dear HR, I suppose it was to be anticipated, expected even, that the festering petri dish that is the Dublin office would eventually spawn off a mutation of the ‘Goodman Virus’. Really it was only a matter of time given the debauchery that was witnessed at the previously reported ‘Summer Coven Meeting’ also known as the… Read more

Laying in Wait
Dear HR, We’re all no doubt aware, after years of David Attenborough documentaries on the natural world, of the behaviour of predators in the wild. How often have we seen images of the ‘Big Cats’ hiding in the long grass, patiently waiting for their prey to drop their guard even for a minute only to strike.… Read more

Summer Party 2019
Dear HR, I’m going to assume that this communication doesn’t come as a complete surprise. The Dublin office, strategically supported by key members of the London office held the TechReCorp annual summer party just yesterday, but it seems so long ago now. The general theme of this event seems to be ritual humiliation followed by forced… Read more

Banned
Dear HR, Thanks for sending on the letter, I have to admit I was surprised by the contents. I didn’t think it was possible to be barred from and Employee Assistance service, but I guess we live and learn. I thought some of the language used was choice to say the least. Me a homophobe? –… Read more

Bernie
Dear HR, Despite the fact that Ms. Goodman will no doubt use the following information to her own nefarious ends to somehow undermine my credibility, I feel I must keep you informed. I arrived home yesterday to an odd message from the Employee Assistance Line so I immediately called back. I ultimately ended up speaking to… Read more

The Harassment from Goodman Continues
Dear Alexander, I feel that my link to this incident is now tenuous at best and this has moved on to some form of inappropriate relationship you have struck up with “Jeremy”. We can only trust that he actually exists and this is not a fictional character that lives purely in your imagination. In terms of… Read more

Job Offers
Hello again HR, I’m sure you were concerned about my lack of contact, but as. Mentioned last week I was travelling to Poland. Returning late last night, I was inundated with voice mail messages from Jeremy – some quite incoherent. I can appreciate him working out of hours, but I suspect on more than one… Read more

Employee Assistance Helpline
Dear HR, So thankfully there wasn’t a repeat of the incident today. I had to explain it all to my poor wife Delilah last night, as you might imagine I was concerned that she’d hear about it at some company event – we’ve a really transparent relationship that way. ‘At least somebody’s interested’ was her only… Read more

Further Escalation
And by the way your jibes on shoulder massages got poor James O’Halloran so flustered he was offering rubs to the military by the time you’d finished with him – soldier rubs indeed. Disgraceful!

Escalation
Well I might have expected this type of response from Ms. Glenda ‘Predator’ Goodman. I’m not sure what kind of ‘prison soap rules’ upon which she normally bases her moral compass, but let me just be clear: I am not just some piece of meat here for her amusement. I don’t get this type of… Read more

Ms. Goodman Responds
All I can say is that I am not the one who failed to lock the shower door, therefore welcoming this type of attention. Sincerely Glenda Goodman

The Incident
Dear HR, I’m not one for complaining, but I find myself in the uncomfortable situation where I am now being objectified in what can only be described as an overtly sexual manner. Over the years I’ve come to recognise that my unique physique and presence holds a certain mystique and appeal to a particular subsection of… Read more
