    Presuming it wasn’t creative fiction, document and enjoy the huge pile of money from the lawsuit.

      And then get laughed at by your lawyer, the judge, and the jury.

        Stay poor, doomer, anon’s got some HR hoes to farm for a slam dunk sexual discrimination and hostile work environment case.

        Plus, as a bonus, people will listen to him because he’s a man.

        That only happens in your imagination. Court is definitely not as sexist.

        And if they are, you can sue them as well for even more money!

          US courts are absolutely sexist. They are so damn sexist that the sexual disparity in sentences completely nullifies the racist disparity. I’m not joking either. It is well known that all things being equal, a black woman will get an average of 60% of the sentence a white man will get for the same crime. Meanwhile a white woman will get, on average, a sentence that is roughly 60-70% of what the black woman gets, and the white man may get a mere 50% of the punishment a black man gets.

          Court is both racist and sexist, and in the US they won’t allow you to sue them. The sexism and racism only gets more pronounced in civil court and family court.

    I know this is probably fake, but, I’ve heard way too many horror stories about hr like this.

    HR is there to protect the company from you. When you’re being harassed at work, during work hours, talking to HR is basically saying “I know I can turn this into a legal thing, but I’ll give you a chance to correct it before I do that”.

    If HR laughs at you about a complaint, your next steps are to collect evidence and hire a lawyer.

    Sue the shit out of them.

      Get the evidence before going to HR because there’s more than a small chance they are going to laugh while escorting you out if the building.

        I don’t think that’s legal to do, however, having the evidence before hand is a good idea regardless of the likelihood of being dismissed for making the complaint.

        Evidence is always something you should have.

      For sure and for me, i think the best way to think of it is if there was a department called “computer resource department.” No ones is going to convince themselves that its there for the benefit of the computers, as its clearly there to get as much profitability out of them as possible.

    Had some woman full-on grab my male arse in my old job when I was bent over doing a task. My colleague (female) saw it and marched after her letting her know that wasnt acceptable. Another member of staff kept constantly going on about my bike shorts and legs and everything inbetween… she was about 20 years older than me.

    People here say this green text is fake. It may well be, but from experience it also may not.

    I’m actually glad the company I work for not only takes sexual harassment seriously, but they actually use primarily examples of female perpetrators and male victims to emphasize the point that it can happen to anyone.

    I would think this false but my ex MIL (my kids grandma) does do that to my husband (who doesn’t care). I can’t imagine touching anyone at work without explicit permission and probably not even then. It seems so messed up.

      It’s really not uncommon, women can ignore your bounderies too and when they do they are usually especially overt about it because they often don’t realize they are doing anything wrong. A lot of my friends are body builders and it 100% happens. Every single one of them has been touched without their consent

    Did he want men to grab his biceps? Or just no touchy? If they grab my biceps without permission then I grab their tits it equals out!
