>I'm surprised that we are still at a point in society where people legitimately don't understand the difference between workplace-appropriate behaviour, and harassment.
I'm not, especially when it comes to tech which is full of young 20-somethings, some of whom may be brilliant when it comes to programming and mathematics, but dumb when it comes to social cues and social interactions. A lot of this stuff gets figured out with experience.
>Once is asking. Twice is harassment. Propositioning a report is a fireable offense.
Sure. Sounds like a good general rule that may be too permissive in some cases, and too punishing in other.
- watwut 9y agoI work in tech. While there are problems, dudes are way better at social skills then you imply. Thay includes dudes with asperger.
- macspoofing 9y agoYes. Of course. Generally people are good and decent. And this case doesn't contradict this since we're talking about 20 fired employees out of 12,000. And I didn't only refer to 'dudes'. I referred to 20-somethings. Women can be dumbasses too.
- watwut 9y agoI don't think it is correct to use words dumbass and unethical as synonyms. They are not. I defended dudes here, because they were treated as normally unethical or normally dumbass. Since women were not implied to be less capable, there was no need to defend then.
