I was doing some online training for a new job, and one of them was of course Diversity and Inclusion training. Part of the course was about harassment, and the way they were talking about it was honestly disgusting. I transcribed a particularly egregious portion below:

Harassment is considered illegal if it's so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile work environment. A hostile work environment is unwelcome behaviors that unreasonably interfere with an employee's ability to work and/or create an intimidating, aggression-filled or offensive work environment. Hostile work environments can make employees not look forward to coming to work, which affects the quality of their performance, and can lead to increased absentee rates and decreased productivity.

Are we joking right now? This can't be serious. Are we saying you couldn't think of a single other reason that harassment might be bad, outside of profit producing productivity?

Really didn't expect to be made sick by this training course, of all things, and yet here we are.
