This May Be The Sign Of A Toxic Coworker

I’ve recently started working at a company that provides assistive technology to deaf people. I’m hearing, but I’ve already learned how to sign a few common expressions, like “good morning.” During our morning meeting, this exchange happens.

Me: *Signing* “Good morning!”

Hearing Coworker: “So, this is the sign for ‘morning’?” *Repeats the sign*

Me: “Yup.”

Hearing Coworker: “Not this?” *Does a similar sign*

Me: “Nope.” *To my deaf coworkers* “What does this mean?” *Repeats the similar sign*

Deaf Coworker: “Talk to Human Resources.”

At that moment, I remembered that sign meant, “F*** you!”
