Your boss is an ass but YDI for trying to correct him. What did you honestly expect would happen?
For all you little sensitive ***** "retarded" is an actual medical term. Stop getting your panties in a wad.
The amount of misinformation and ignorance on this thread is ridiculous. In no way is using the word "retarded" ok. Not even speaking about those with developmental disabilities. I work in the field. While someone may have MR secondary to another condition, they themselves are not mentally retarded. They are human beings. They have wants and needs and choices. If it was your family member who had downs, or cerebral palsy or whatever, I doubt very much that you would be ok with someone calling them a retard. You can throw around IQ numbers like you know something but unless you actually work in the field, and spend time with them, you should prolly just shut your mouth.
The fact the word 'retarded' has such a negative meaning in your area doesn't change the fact it actually is one of the correct words in the dictionary.
Calling someone the R word isn't ok. Do you walk around calling people the N word? It's a medical term, but generally we don't walk around calling people depression, or cancer, or whatever... Maybe you should meet some people with DD and then you would understand that it's really not ok.
I can't stand redundant people either...
YDI for not being deaf
What an idiot. definitely report him. We need more people like you to stand up when others can't.
Do you need to remind him that he wouldn't exist without a woman? Gosh, what an ignorant prick. Sorry you have to put up with that, OP.
That is really messed up and thanks for standing up for that woman because a lot of people won't but it really hurts their feelings and can ruin their whole day if she heard that but I would somehow report him if I could

Report it to someone OP, I'm sure that can't be tolerated.
That should not be tolerated at the workplace.
