Your friend should have worn less revealing clothes. However a stare is something unquantifiable.<BR/><BR/>There is another dimension that goes without further notice. Most of these women are far left and the people they accuse are not. One can go past the cubicle and see<BR/>the PC signs and juvenile cube decor. One of the most flagrant persons had a sign with a cross, star of David and crescent with the word tolerance.<BR/><BR/>Tolerance did not apply to men discussing sports, hunting etc. I have no doubt that some of the stories had elements of truth. Yet a simple I don't like it when you do x would have been sufficient.<BR/><BR/>Unless the behavior is flagrant one will have to work with other people. Instead of handling a normal dispute like adults they leave a poisoned work place rife with tension.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1151736580155017752006-07-01T01:49:00.000-05:002006-07-01T01:49:00.000-05:00AOW,one of my best friends was raped by a coworker...AOW,<BR/><I>one of my best friends was raped by a coworker, her superior. </I><BR/><BR/>It is strange but true that even today it's is easier to get someone in trouble because of 'sexual harassment" than to prove something as serious as rape.Dan Zarembahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067140150563192288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-1151728515984772012006-06-30T23:35:00.000-05:002006-06-30T23:35:00.000-05:00Beak, a young woman acquaintance once made such a ...Beak, a young woman acquaintance once made such a fuss that all the bus drivers and the men in general were ogling at her b**bs.

Someone asked me why I eat alone. The reason is one can not be too careful.<BR/><BR/>I would look at a person who has made three complaints in differents locations more seriously.The problem is that even if a pattern was discovered this person could have had several people fired.<BR/><BR/>Lightning just doesn't hit the same place ten times in a row. When the obvious label doesn't get along with others comes in is unknown.
