Is it sexual harassment B/C he asked her out or B/C he used the term "MILF" or B/C she wasn't interested? Did the whatsapp portion of the conversation occur at work or outside of work? Does your company have a policy that forbids coworkers to date?
My former boss dated an employee who worked in a different department. People at work knew and it was not considered a problem. No one got fired or sued. I guess I'm trying to understand the difference here. It seems to me the major difference is that in this case the woman wasn't interested. So is the takeaway here that if you ask out a woman you work with she will either say yes if she is interested or you will potentially be fired if she is not?
- athesyn 10y agoThe only part that actually qualifies as sexual harassment is that he called her a milf. Although it's entirely up to the discretion of the victim what's harassment and what isn't (unless the founder is there to witness it himself).
- kawera 10y agoOne thing is a relationship that builds up between two people; another is a new recruit asking out a coworker calling her a "milf". Huge difference.
- GVIrish 10y agoIf you ask someone out at work and they tell you, 'as friends only' that should be the end of your advances. If you continue past that point and say stuff like, "You're a Mom I'd Like to Fuck" that is clearly into sexual harassment territory. One polite and appropriate invitation to hang out (to a single coworker) is not sexual harassment. That is usually where the line is. Pushing after the rebuff is almost always trouble.
