My big fat Greek mistake.

I think that's what we're going to call this.

This was actually a story sent in by an HR Besties listener.

Okay.

So they were working in a global organization.

And they're in the U.S.

In the U.S. CHRO, Chief Human Resources Officer had a group of colleagues visiting from the Greek office, including the Greece, CHRO, some other colleagues.

And so they wanted to host at a local, bougie Greek restaurant.

You know, they don't have enough foods to bring them to that inauthentic experience, fair enough.

So the U.S. CHRO wanted to have other

employees come and join this dinner. Well, nobody volunteered because the U.S. CHRO was misogynist,

racist, asshole, so nobody accepted. But this is in the story. So none of the HR staff is like,

no thank you to this dinner.

So this CHRO says, I'm not going alone.

So he calls a meeting with this person's boss, the DE and I director and I.

And the following is 100% the conversation that happened.

CHRO, US. Can you pull a list of employees that have Greek CHRO, U.S.

Can you pull a list of employees that have Greek last names?

I want the Greek CHR and their staff

to feel at home and invite employees

that are Greek to.

Full stop.
