Have these "younger employees" not heard of "context"? If you're in a business meeting, you can probably infer correctly, 100% of the time, that "have the D" isn't a reference to sex.
This story is pretty much the definition of "Much ado about nothing".
both of your paragraphs use euphemisms for genitalia
asserting the opposite doesn't make it so
you do not have veto power over the English language
The notion that you are going to quote the name of a Shakespeare play after saying "... isn't a reference to sex" WHEN THE NAME OF THE PLAY IS A REFERENCE TO FEMALE GENITALIA...
Well, one would hope. Still, it's a phrase I'd never feel comfortable using, because the first reaction is a lizard-brain emotional response, even when my conscious thought process picks up the in-context meaning immediately afterward.
Honestly, it sounds like a cringeworthy Family Guy joke.
This is even worse in today's and Uber's context: having the "decision" must not, in any possible way, be confused/similar/assimilated with having the "dk"

It is a very simple association with sexual contact.
This is the old principle, sex sells.
Uber has a terrible reputation, so playing the mook card costs it little.
Nothing more than MTV gross-out humor used to sell a service.
