72. I have not met him, but I do know when a boss taunted me day after election, it made me physically

Oct 2017

sick. I was minding my own business, doing my work when I did not want to be in the office of 14 Republicans, with two hours sleep because I had a call from someone so upset it took most of the night.

Taunt me. Because it is funny.

Wrong.

One woman, the only other liberal, Latino, walked out of the office, crying, and called our immediate boss, and the whole world titled because this male owner would not shut the fuck up as he told me eventually I would be happy having Trump, following me down the hall, while I told him to leave me alone. Finally slammed the damn bathroom door in his face.. All my boss wanted from me was to get my work done.

Now, this poster is bragging taunting employees.

That is beyond wrong. I truly find it disgusting having experienced it with an owner, not my immediate boss so I felt pretty safe in telling the owner to get out of my face. Who knows about these women.

What did he do wrong? He asked if they were ok ecstatic Oct 2017 #11

He is clear on his political stance. He understand theirs. He called them out and taunted. Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #14

Were you allowed to curse him out (if you wanted to)? If not, that's ecstatic Oct 2017 #18

It is inappropriate for a work environment. That simple. I don't understand why you do not get that Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #20

What employer is going to allow this environment and call himself professional? Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #90

I might agree with you, but I find your claim that this is equivalent to sexual harassment emulatorloo Oct 2017 #94

I didn't say it was equivalent. You did. Like harassment of any kind, it is wrong. Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #97

Read your post title, you equated it w sexual harassment. emulatorloo Oct 2017 #101

It is not equating it the same level, but equating harassment as wrong. We get sexual harassment is Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #107

I didn't say that. I asked you not to lie about me yet you did anyway emulatorloo Oct 2017 #161

I didn't not say sexual harassment was equal to this type harassment either. Doesn't seem to matter Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #170
