I worked for a major car company in the deep south as a financial analyst. Sat in an open cubicle.

A couple of the holier than thou types loved to complain about anything to HR. So one weekend I volunteered to work the booth at a car show. Free admission after I spent an hour handing things out. It was first thing in the morning and still quiet so I got to talking with the marketing women who were there. The company hired them to go all over the country to these shows.

They had a poster with our car and the four women I was speaking with in bikinis. I got an autographed one. Come Monday, I hung it up in my cubicle. Lots of murmurs from the holy crowd.

HR stops by right before lunch and asks me to take it down because they have had complaints that it’s offensive. I point out that it’s our own company’s advertising. I ask them if they want to call what our company does offensive.

Left that poster up until I left a couple of years later.
