for sure, and yeah you probably wouldn't make that joke then, but the person who did clearly knew what they were saying and still decided to. Freaking read the room man. (them, not you)

I just can't help but think that if I had made that sort of comment in that sort of meeting, every boss or office I've worked for would have immediately taken corrective action, either publicly calling me into a separate meeting or by advising how such comments aren't acceptable and noting how it violates policy.

The fact that it was just ignored is so much more indicative of the culture than I think just about anything else in the video.

Exactly, he should have called it out, right there. Yeah embarrassing for the person, but they should be embarrassed.

That, right there actually is what we're stopping. That sort of joke was okay in the past, even up to this meeting, but no longer going forward. That's the last one, and this is this entire group's one and only warning
