What happened to no harm no foul and a slap on the wrist this time and a clear policy to everyone that if it happens again by anyone, it won't be tolerated.
Why do you guys jump to the extremes?
I'm not in the US lawyer up of A though, but common sense should apply.
That said, ask a lawyer first, because clearly that is the land where we get our funny 'news' of 'someone when to court because of ludicrous action X, and won'.

- exclusiv 10y agoYes it wasn't egregious, but I've learned that if clients or employees cause problems early, the chances of it working out is very slim. Plus, a big part of being successful in biz dev is to be able to read people and interact professionally. This person is new and to do what they did shows their 1) arrogance and 2) inability to read people. Biz dev generally means investing in that person financially for some time before getting a return as it takes time for them to ramp up and close deals. Do you want to invest in someone like that and hope they'll change in fit your culture or just move on?
- joantune 10y agoMaybe it's part of his tactics :) Well, you may be right on that. Simply put, IMO what constitutes harassment is if after you hit on someone, they tell you to stop, and you continue. Or if you do something really bad as groping or saying something obscene. Calling someone a MILF is borderline, he might be just a very honest guy that said what he thought and meant it as a compliment (well, yeah.. a weird compliment).
