Inappropriate request at Work - AIBU?

[GameChange123]

A colleague is leaving our team. Received an email from some colleagues about a collection - no problem.

I was surprised that they also asked colleagues in the team to provide a photo "au natural" to create a souvenir calendar for the person leaving. Apparently not showing anything rude but "you can show as much or as little skin as you want as long as we don't actually see anything rude and it's a bit 'cheeky'"

I find this grim on a number of levels and given there are 10+ people in the team there is going to be some pressure for everyone to participate.

I don't think it is appropriate and could really use the hive mind of Mumsnet to give me a steer on what to do/ how to respond to these CFrs.

AIBU?

This is weird as fuck.

And if you were the person leaving would you really want a) a paper calendar in 2020 (who still uses them?) and b) more to the point, one with Jim from account's barely concealed cock on it?

I don't get it.

au naturel?
maybe they just meant eating chocolate?

Take a photo of your elbow crack made to look like an arse (I believe it is possible to do this believably) or some such.

ZOMBIE

@MrOnionsBumperRoller as you’ve revived an old thread the least you can do is post your elbow crack

Also I live ‘low clothing industry’. So British!

How do these threads come back on the radar ?

Ha, I did work in the 70s and wouldn't have done it then!

I'm guessing the people suggesting this are extrovert types with little to worry about in terms of wrinkles, bulges and the like.

I've worked with some lovely people in my time, but I've got to admit I can't see why I would want a calendar of them even fully clothed, let alone au naturel.

Have none of you seen calendar girls?
After that lots (1000s) of businesses made similar nude calenders.

How about sending them a photo of your middle finger held aloft?

I know this is a ZOMBIE thread but I'm now curious as to what the OP did! Lol.

I know this is old but can you come back and tell us what you did ??? Did you do an elbow crack shot ??

What sort of people would even let themselves be pressured into a thing like this? Just say ’Sounds like a weird idea to me, so no thanks.’. The End.

And who would even want that calendar anyway?

Grim on every level. ignore.

@GameChange123 as your thread has been revived.... could you let us know what happened pretty please.... with two large current buns strategically placed...

Awesome zombie.

Waits for the reveal by OP

Omg this is awful. Just awful on so many levels. I can't even.... The answer is YANBU. Speak to HR or a union now. Tell me they've asked via email or text so you have it in writing....

@GameChange123

It's a pathetic request and I'd be telling them. After that request they could also fuck off as far as a contribution to the collection was concerned. I'd be having no part of any of that.

Professional outfit where you work isn't it.
