Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I bet Playboy has a hi-LARIOUS set of first-day orientation videos.
I wonder if it'd be like Bizarro-orientation video...
" Narrator: Let's watch Tom as he interacts with his co-worker Destinie...
Tom: Nice honkers, Des!
Des: (tee hee) Thanks, Tom!
Narrator: Way to go, Tom! Now let's watch Dick and Marge...
Dick: You're kinda...flat-chested, you know?
Marge: Bite me, scrote-licker.
Narrator: Who was in the wrong in this scenario? That's right...Marge. After all, this is Playboy and she should have boomin' bazongas and not be all defensive feminist in the workplace.
Boss: You're fired, Marge!
Marge: Aw, fuck this place!
Narrator: Welcome to Playboy! And have a Bazonga-licious work experience!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's what she said.
OK, so our "huge" budget issue was the result of one person making an incorrect assumption, and never running it by the people who could have corrected it. I swear to god, this fucking place.

Compassionately intolerant
I have been proactively protesting Playboy's failure to hire shrift since 14 years before she was born!
No WAY! Me too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
ISTR talking to someone who worked at Playboy who had a similar experience as what MM describes. But I don't remember well.

Really? I was totally joking.
Huh.

This just makes me think of when I was working at WotC. My boss went to some sort of management training seminar; when he got back, I asked him how it was. He replied, "It was awesome! I learned, like, six new ways to sexually harrass you!"

Not the video, but talking about boobs. A lot.

The krav centre is hugely raunchy, and I wonder how we get away with it. Do the more genteel leave before it's an issue? Not make the cut in the first place?
At my first CA gig we were totally call-after-the-meeting-to-apologise uptight. And I can't even remember the word in question. At my current job it seems to be okay to use the word screw if you look at me first...no that's unfair. There are some interactions that are okay with the primary participants, but I can see how a cube neighbour might be bothered.

I think every sexual harrassment video gets the same reaction. At Variable Annuity Company of Fuckityness, the video provoked:
From the guys:
"Aw, that's a good one. I should write that down."
"I used that one. Worked, too."
"Oh, yeah...he's so smmmoooooooovvvvvve"
From the women:
"Heard it."
"Heard it."
"Heard it."
"Great, the guys are taking notes."
