Keep Hattie out of it. He is doing a job just as any boss would. If your the boss you make the rules. If you want to change them, then work hard and take the bosses job. Otherwise STFUP.
Are you one of the tiny minority who had heard of the word before this non-issue was turned into an issue? The word evokes no emotional response from me whatsoever, and I strongly suspect that the vast majority of Americans would concur.
