U.K. employers may consider banning handshakes in workplace: HR expert

My god. When will this bs end? When we all live in bubbles?

And why is this in Greater Forumosa?

Cause it’s outside of Taiwan, it’s not political.

This is the kind of thing that could go in the slippery slope thread!

My first thought was “germs?” That would be a good reason.

Woner how they are doing in Latin America where men get offended when you do not lean over to air kiss them at least.

I’m glad I don’t work in an office very often.

Germs … well, there’s germs everywhere. Yes, some people are icky and perhaps don’t wash their hands after they’ve taken a dump. That’s why I wash my own hands occasionally.

You know, we have occassions wher ewe all line up to shake hands with high officials for New Year and other special ocassions, or they are leaving for greener pastures. That´s like 100 plus people per flor, say 200 more or less.

My exboss shakes hands as usual, then runs the soones possible to the bathroom to wash both nads furiously and finsihes the job with a spritz of high grade alcohol on palms.

If I had to shake hands with hundreds of high officials, I think I’d follow the opposite strategy, and stick my finger up my ass first.

Nowt wrong with a furious scrub of the nads now and then.

As it should. Carry on.

You used to work for JP II?

:eek:

That was also his style, or so I heard. :idunno:

I see what you did there.

Your exboss clearly takes the epithet “the great unwashed” very seriously indeed :slight_smile:

Especially if 200 people were involved.

It’s a rather unusual form of handshake if both nads need scrubbing afterwards
