Kind of crazy that they needed his input in order to "properly understand the situation". Like?? Did I stutter??
I hope they're going to take action and are not just saying that.

Can't sanction an employee before hearing his side of the story. Goes with my previous post.
Yes but probably not in this instance.
I don't want to go into any details, but lets just say I know very well what I'm talking about.
I know! I just feel like the wording was weird. "We were able to properly understand the situation" as opposed to "we had time to assess the situation" or something similar. The former implies the situation wasn't understandable when she told it, whereas the latter implies they simply needed to assess the situation but they did hear her.
I don't understand an entire thread over a text message saying "I can't sleep." I have been a chronic insomniac my whole life and never texted anyone to say I couldn't sleep. Maybe because I am used to it. Maybe there would be empathy if everyone had some sleepless nights to see what it is like. I still don't understand why we have a 4 page thread over such a text.
Well, the pages are filled with other weird/rude text messages and discussions around them. It's not 4 pages about the sleepy guy. But also, he didn't say he couldn't sleep, he texted an escort to tell her "I have nowhere to sleep". Very different. What was she supposed to say?
If someone tells me they can't sleep I can be playful and tell them I know a good way to relax, but if you have nowhere to sleep? I might suggest a hotel or a shelter but I am not hosting you for the night lol
Nah the guy is saying he doesn't have a place to sleep. Important nuance.
Dude said he can't sleep. I can't sleep myself 90% of the time. Do I start threads about it or send texts to others about it? No. I quietly suffer with it.
I do have a place to sleep, and it even has air conditioning. It's just that I can't sleep. And if you can't sleep, then what point is there in having a place to sleep?

Google French to English, do some translations for me right now!
"Oui Monsieur" ......
"jai nulparou" -> "I have no one"
"j'ai nulparou" -> "I have nowhere"
"jai nulparou dormir" -> "I can't sleep"
"j'ai nulparou dormir" -> "I have nowhere to sleep"
You see, it gives different translations of these phrases depending on whether there's an apostrophe (j'ai) or no apostrophe (jai) after the j.
French speakers/readers, is the Google translator doing the right thing here, or does it have a bug?
*nulparou* is not even French!
Reverse searching (because I'm not a wiz at french,) but nulparou sounded to me like it should be 3 words... so i checked...
nowhere to go : nulle part où aller
It's just really bad abreviation.
I'm just surprised google translate was able to decipher bad spelling and still give you a relative answer to what was typed. I guess that's where AI fits in. Because it used to be words like that weren't translated at all.

Not even an abbreviation, just people texting and using as little letters as possible! "Nulle part où" is right.
I've always claimed there are 3 versions of french...
France French, which quebec complain about, and sounds much like mumbling.
Quebec French, which is all slang and France complain about.
And written French, which is taught in english schools, and made it hard to communicate to anyone french born.
Lol.. and seems to replace a phrase of 5 words in english with 10 words in french, and half of those are silent letters you don't pronounce when you speak. I gave up on french a long time ago. It takes too much effort to try and decipher when someone trys to communicate. Life got a lot easier dealing in this province once google translate became a thing.

Idk how to tell you this but French is my first language. Trust that I knew what I was talking about when I said he said he has nowhere to sleep.
Should be automatically blacklisted for destroying French + you can't expect any class from such a guy
