I'm having trouble reconciling the idea that a guy fucking around in the office is automatically a sexual harasser; which actually is the issue here.

Maybe it shouldn't be, but you don't get fired for fucking around -- or else holy shit, I'm going to be looking into a ton of job openings created by that purge.

if he's the star of the show and being at all coercive, there's a difference. I can choose to doorman my boss, but if my boss is aggressive at all - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:26 1
- And 'lo, "doorman" becomes a verb. -- nm - Mop Nov 29, 08:33
part of the problem is that Lauer or O'reilly or a person like that is in a postion of power - Remlik Nov 29, 08:25 10
- that is kind of the easiest place to do it though. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:26 9
  - it may be. But you shouldn't do it. -- nm - Remlik Nov 29, 08:38 2
    - people should not smoke either...... -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:43 1
      - oof. -- nm - Remlik Nov 29, 08:46
  - I'm kind of speechless at this. -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:34 5
    - why, you spend hours and hours with these people, more than your family in most cases. - groiny Nov 29, 08:36 4
      - sure, but look at the problems it causes. It's not worth it. If he wants to be a player, be a man and do it where it won't effect - Remlik Nov 29, 08:44 1
        
        for every problem, there could very well have been 10 non issues. - groiny Nov 29, 08:47
      - yes, but in most cases you can't be fired or sued for jamming non-work people. like, he had to have known it was wrong. - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:39 1
        
        co-workers throughout history have been jamming. - groiny Nov 29, 08:41
I'm sure it is more than that -- nm - ty97 Nov 29, 08:22 4
- I presume as well, but the stories were him whoring around - Will Hunting Nov 29, 08:25 2
  - Yes, but if he tanked the careers of his partners after it was over, that is actionable. -- nm - pmb Nov 29, 08:33 1
    - or if he bolstered them (morales). -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:35
- I am slightly pleased that I no longer work at the bank, where the female to male ratio was like 20 to 1. - groiny Nov 29, 08:24
For sure. Just like what Franken did is not what Moore did. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:17
yeah, this is my thinking as well. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:17
