So we hired a new admin/service coordinator person. 

Over the months we have observed that he is a...people person. Chatty. And staff here have complained that he is chatting when it is not appropriate to do so.
He doesn't seem to get when certain phrases shouldn't be used, or certain information (non-HIPAA related) shouldn't be shared. Stuff like that.

My boss just forwarded us some graphs with online timesheet submissions (we are trying to get as many employees as possible to submit online)

There are some good-natured comments thrown around, we are competitive here (certain employees are assigned to certain people)

His reply was "I have bar graph envy..."




This made my mouth pucker up. With the pattern he has, it's just not good. Is this an over-reaction?

I don't get what is wrong with that especially in context that you work in a competitive group.

[cuddlyevil]

That wouldn't bother me.

Has anyone spoken to him regarding his chattiness?

[ECB]

Yeah, I'm not sure what the problem is with that comment.

[moolarkey]

I don't see a problem.

Yes, he has been made aware.

Is this some kind of weird, veiled dick joke? If so, then yeah okay, not cool. If not, I see nothing wrong with it since other people were saying stuff.

I'm on team over reaction. I am assuming it's the allusion to penis envy? I'd let it go for sure - and am really not seeing it as offensive in the slightest. But if he's too chatty/sloppy with his language etc otherwise, that should be handled.

Yeah, it's the "penis envy" spin-off in an office full of chicks. Different than what other people were saying

But I get the overreaction thing.
