If a governor resigns over a “he said, she said” dispute about where his hand was when she asked for a photo, or because he asked about their personal lives, or hugged them for a second too long at an event, is there any hope for being a male manager? I feel all it takes is for one woman to make a claim and then I am tarnished forever and risk losing my job. Can I make it clear that I will refuse to meet with any woman at work one-on-one, privately?
The truth is, I hear this privately from a lot of male managers. Highly regarded and respected leaders who have never had anyone complain about them have expressed concern about meeting with female colleagues behind closed doors a result of everything that has been reported in the media these past few years. I think that fear is unwarranted. In all of my years in HR I have never experienced a case of women conspiring to make multiple false claims about a male manager. If you have any concerns about a particular colleague, male or female, and you need to have a difficult conversation with them, you may feel more comfortable having someone else in the room. That is prudent and fine. But to say you won’t meet with any women privately is insulting and unprofessional.

“Closed doors” aren’t a problem if they have windows without blinds. Wouldn’t everyone be more comfortable in that setting? Just order a new see-through door, and don’t ruin it by installing a blind.
The solution to anyone, man or woman, lying, is biblical and it is totally correct.
The liar is given the most extreme punishment onte books for whatthey were trying to frame tbe other person for. That penalty is what the innocent person was facing.
So if you lie and frame someone for murder, you get the max penalty that innocent person could have gotten. So death in some places, life without parole in others...
If you falsely accuse someone of rape, you getthe max penalty that innocent person could have received. So death penalty in some places, life without parole in others.
Its the only way to end liars facing no real negative consequences for their actions. And its fair and its biblical.
The liars not only lie, but they also frame an innocent person in the process of lying. Thats two separate crimes.
And they dont care what happens to that person.
And my wife is a process engineer in my department. Any conversation with her the same rule applies. (until we get home)
It was the Billy Graham policy waaaaaay before Puntz.
Tell her you videotape all conversations and do it with all employees..Someday you may need the evidence that a man says you harassed him......
Mike Pence follows that rule
I believe that is the practice of some men now...if not chaperoned, meeting in a place that is open for all to see.
Sad.
This is what we have come to.
“If a governor resigns over a “he said, she said” dispute”
It was a bit more than he said/she said, but it is ridiculous that they went after him for this and NOT his serial murder of elderly as well.
i would never say that I would not meet with a woman privately. that would be painting a target on my back.
I would make sure that I do not, and always have a colleague in the room, or a secretary to take down words. Move into glass walled conference rooms, or bring in other brains at the same time.
I would never meet with a female in my office when I was a professor. Never ever.
You can’t actually say that, but you can invite a third party in to observe. You’d have to do that everytime for everyone though.
There you go again; always reliable.
“In all of my years in HR I have never experienced a case of women conspiring to make multiple false claims about a male manager.”
Don’t get around much, huh?
Can’t limit it to just women. Gay men, trans, identifying as a chipmunk. Can’t meet alone with any of them.
Good advice.
HR is full of idiots.
Always have a witness.
Always.
Man or woman.
Always.
Sure you're on the right site? Maybe you'd fit in at DU where people are viewed as chattel.
Elevators either from what I understand.
“I think that fear is unwarranted. In all of my years in HR I have never experienced a case of women conspiring to make multiple false claims about a male manager.”
In all my years in HR, seeing every kind of whack job, diva, perpetually offended, nasty, race-obsessed kind of person making false claims, I think the fear is warranted. True, most haven’t been by women against male managers, but it easily could happen.
Man, I hated HR!
Simple solution- inform the person that the entire meeting is being filmed and audio recorded, and have two cameras that cover every angle.
Time and date stamped, with crystal clear audio and video.
If they don’t consent to it, then tough titty, no meeting.
Use technology the same way the other side does to protect yourself.
