Anyone in HR answer a question for me please.

[Caramilk]

Hi,
If there's anyone in HR who'd be willing for me to PM them, to look at some phrasing and see if it could be interpreted any other way to the way I see it, and explain why, I'd be really grateful.

It's not really outing I suspect, but I don't want to risk anything.

Thanks

You can pm me if you like.

You don't want to risk anything but you are willing to risk random people who may or may not be in HR (which doesn't mean they are right even if they are) telling you what they think. There is a reason that tribunals have lawyers in them - there is not such thing as a cut and dried answer.

Thanks @Hollyhocksarenotmessy

Neriah, it's the phrasing in an email that I wanted to see if there was a different interpretation to an HR person. To me it implied one thing, I wasn't sure if it could have been a phrase used by HR to not imply that.
I'm not really feeling mentally up to having lots of people pick over it and give answers, so hoped that someone would, like Holly, kindly just give me a personal answer without knowing me. I wasn't expecting a cut and dried answer at all.

And how do you know that that interpretation is correct, or the only one? Keeping things on the boards isn't a guarantee of accuracy or consistency, but at least other people can point out flaws, errors or alternatives.

I've advised the OP that the wording she is querying is somewhat ambiguous and to clarify with the writer.
