- The manager indirectly fished for mutual sexual interest with a subordinate.
- Managers and subordinates engage in workplace relationships across the country and the world. They all start with a "proposition" of one kind or another.
Only when a manager is shown to abuse their power in support of a personal agenda should there be damages imposed. Not simply for an expression of interest.
- The subordinate reported the manager. The manager appears to then have ceased any further activity that could have been offensive to the subordinate.
- Simply discussing one's sex life with an employee - regardless of the employee's interpretation - is not sexual harassment. I'd bet my bottom dollar that Fowler approached attorneys over this and was rebuffed - which is precisely why she's shame-blogging about her incident.
- This is another case of a woman who is not attracted to someone who shows interest in her making sure that she lets the world know how offended and injured she is.
Her subsequent discussions with other employees who warn her of retaliatory consequences are just that. Workplace gossip.
- I'm not sympathetic, I don't this should be legislated against. I think human beings should have the right to express interest.
If this kind of mentality is promoted, as you all wish to promote it, we'll live in a world where those who are simply seen as undesirable being automatically engaged in harassment.
I use Vimperator. I have not upgraded Firefox since 43.0.4 in order to continue to use Vimperator. I will not upgrade Firefox past the point where it does not support Vimperator.
