“Sexual harassment” that can lead to big settlements needs be no more than saying to a female staffer, “could you put the coffee on, please?” The”offense” is entirely in the eye of the one claiming to be offended. It is defined by the offendee.
Completely agree. In this day and age of everyone having a camera and recorder it should be easy enough for any female (or male sometimes) to get video or audio proof of the supposed harassment. Some people may be ultra (over) sensitive and even be psychotic or simply looking for a big payday to retire with.
I was very disappointed with the women who claimed Roger Ailes went after them. I just don’t believe it quite frankly. After hearing dozens of false reports of rape and/or sexual harassment on the news over the years I’m really jaded when I hear someone claim it happened.
It even got to the point I didn’t want to work with women in the IT department I worked at without at least one other person in the room but even that is no guarantee if they collude and that does happen too. I’ve seen it happen.
