Sexual harassment will not be tolerated, it will however be judged


So, anyone else ever notice that aside fom the fact that the only time most people feel sexually harassed at work is when they go through the classes, is that shortly after going through Prevention Of Sexual Harassment training the incidents of complaints skyrocket?
You’d think it would be the opposite effect, but it would seem that instead of making people more aware that they may have been acting in an inappropriate manner & slowing it down, people instead become over sensitive and complain about every fucking thing.

We had some instances at work recently of people complaining about others being in their “bubble”, even though it was perfectly harmless and work related (reaching for a trash can, cleaning nearby, etc.). No contact or inappropriate behavior what so ever, but people still complained. Same way we have operated since I’ve been there, but suddenly an issue.
Other instances involved inappropriate observation of members of the opposite sex, namely staring at them or watching them pass by. Had one gentleman that was just zoning out looking across the room, & there happened to be a young lady in the vicinity of his gaze that was convinced he was staring her down even though he wasn’t looking anywhere near her.
Previously we had one of our best people, the MOST respectful and courteous people I know, received a complaint because some woman was positive he had said to someone else that she “looked sexy”. First, since when it that a problem if the person is someone you know and they take it as a compliment? How is it anyone elses business? 2nd, we all knew it was BS & this person either heard him incorrectly or translated something like “you look really good today” as “you look sexy”. Regardless, it started a huge problem and almost got him fired, all over an unprovable 3rd party complaint.
We’ve gotten to the point where we don’t interact with anyone because we have to be afraid that someone will freak the fuck out, complain, and we’ll be out of a job. And I mean “we”, because whomever gets the complaint may get fired, and I’ll get fired because I’m in charge and it’ll be my ass too.
So we have to slow down & take longer to get our work done because we have to make sure we don’t intrude on any ones “bubble”. We have tight spaces to work in, and sometimes it cant be avoided, but we still have to pussy-foot around in case someone else takes offense. We don’t talk to anyone about anything that is not work related other than polite and brief conversation. And we make it a point not to look at anyone if we can avoid it. And there’s where I have a problem,…
I’ll admit I look, I look a LOT. However I’ve perfected the ability to see a lot in a short amount of time. I pick up more with a glance than most do with a long look. Still, some things grab my attention. For instance, we have some very attractive ladies that KNOW they are attractive and they dress the part & put it all on display.
Now, if you put it out there, WHY in the fuck do you get butt hurt when someone admires it?? What, only your b/f-hubby can look? Great, you wanna dress nice to impress him, just keep that shit at home! Is the person looking too ugly for you or creeps you out? Wah, go cry a river, they have eyes too! If you dress provocatively people WILL look, you cant pick and choose whom!
Seriously ladies, if you don’t want people looking at your breasts, don’t wear a wonder bra, a low edge camisole, and a deep-vee shirt that looks painted on. All you need is a tattoo on your cleavage that says “lookie-lookie!”. If you dress up provocatively like you're gonna hit the club after work, yet you're offended if peole check you out, you need a fucking reality check.
It’s like setting a plate of food on the coffee table and then whipping your because he stared at it, duh!
I’m all for making people comfortable at work, both physically and mentally, and if it were my call I’d adjust the dress code to be more neutral. No boobies, no skirts, no heels. Fuck it lets all wear slacks and button up shirts, uniforms for eveyone! Then we’ll all just have to walk around inside plastic bubbles and only text message eachother so nobody who isn't part of the conversation can hear it.
Fook'n humans,...

Just to clarify something, I'm not saying women should not dress sexy. Ladies, if you have the self confidence to put it out there and appreciate that people find you attractive, rock the fuck on! My issue is with those people that feel the need to sex it up, then get all butt hurt when people notice.
Worse yet though, and the basis behind the idea of uniforms, is when 3rd parties notice you noticing someone and call you on it. People can get written up & fired for sexual harassment for looking at another person. If it is just looking, no drooling, cat calls, mouthing phrases, etc., and the person being looked at is fine with being seen, why should it matter? Many times the person making the complaint is a little troll & is likely not only uncomfortable with thier own sexuality, but offended by everypne elses. That's all besides the point as we are a societey that runs on perception & not reality. So, uniforms, bubbles, and texting.

Most of these "awareness" classes only generate problems that dont really exist. Been there done that...
