163. Go back and read the OP. You are spewing nonsense based on your personal trigger.

Oct 2017

I worked for the campus Lothario at a major university. Why he never put the moves on me I will never know, but it may have had something to do with me being practically frozen with anxiety over trying to support two small children alone. When I moved on after 4 years he promptly seduced my replacement and gave her an STD.

I got a promotion and ended up working for a screamer with a volcanic temper. I lasted 9 months, cracked 2 molars, all that. The next two replacements lasted only a month or two with that bastard.

I refuse to look at the whole world through that lens. I worked for some really decent people in my time.

I'm sorry for your lousy experiences, but that is not what the OP was describing. All I can recommend is you try to separate one experience from another.

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

Because every workplace is different. ecstatic Oct 2017 #29

Just like sexually harassing employee is wrong. Taunting employees making environment uncomfortable Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #55

I figured you'd go there. OP didn't sexually harass them. He whistled a song. emulatorloo Oct 2017 #85

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 have zero tolerance for false equivalencies, especially when the end result is trivializing sexual emulatorloo Oct 2017 #112

I have zero tolerance for people with an agenda only hearing what they want to hear, Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #118

Harassing sexually, bad. Harassing in other manners, good. Ok. I was taught differently. Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #133

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

I expect you to call me a rapist next emulatorloo Oct 2017 #180

Seriously? You accuse me of hyperbole all the while Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #184

"A little taste of your own medicine, perhaps?" Back pedaling much? Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #265

No. I am stating my position as an employer. Do keep playing the game. I see you doing it thru out Mediumsizedhand Oct 2017 #274

did you see this? Eko Oct 2017 #187
