A few months ago, I was having dinner with a friend in New York.
He works for a large investment bank and shared an interesting story about an unusual conference call. He told me all the US personnel were instructed to get on a conference call for an important announcement.
The announcement was short and stark.
John Doe has had a sex change.
On Monday morning, John Doe will be coming to work as Jane Doe.
Any jokes, innuendo or comments even bordering on the inappropriate… will result in immediate termination.
25,000 people all across America now had to be on their best behavior. Anyone who crossed the line was out, no matter their rank or production.
