My husband is VP of operations for a small manufacturing company. It can get very loud in the plant. He needed to talk to an employee so he put his hand on the shoulder of the employee to get his attention over the noise of 200+ machines. The employee is a 60+ year-old white male who then went to HR and filed a sexual harassment claim against my husband. We have become a country of babies.
Sounds to me like he was trying to pad his retirement savings.
It disgusts me companies just roll over for these cases rather than fighting, yes, I know it's far cheaper...
