I know of two incidents of women currently screaming sex harassment to move up the ladder or get somebody out.One had the nerve to say she was eyed up and down in the work place in her mini skirt.In the 90’s it was easy to scream sex harassment and get whatever you wanted with no witness.
I knew of one old gent ( for those of us in Rio Linda, a fellow old fart :-)) that had a cheesecake calendar, no nudity in his file drawer and this NOW Gang type saw it, reported it to HR and broke his heart given he was @ the company 30 years with an unblemished record, that took the wind out his sails....
Yes she was a ladder climber and did so after this...
Post that incident, managers in the area went so far as to request no women on their teams or would only do performance reviews with women with an open door ( so all could hear, not good ) or with a secretary present.
Yes, life in the work world sucked in the 90's when political correctness post Tailhook kicked in and HR dept's got scared of anything that had the potential of a lawsuit, especially after the consultants also came in with the Diversity Training....
