I had to follow a string of links to understand this story better, but it sounds like this individual made advances towards coworkers and colleagues. That got me thinking, on a nationwide basis, how many people would be resigning if they were to resign based on making advances to coworkers? For anyone else curious, here's a medium post from the linked article, written by the individual, referencing his behavior of advancing on women in work related environments. https://500hats.com/im-a-creep-i-m-sorry-d2c13e996ea0 https://500hats.com/im-a-creep-i-m-sorry-d2c13e996ea0

The entire private sector would be run by women and gay men in that case.

"Making advances" is a pretty sugar-coated way to refer to someone who's had many reported cases of sexually harassing people who he had funding control over.

  "Advances" is the wording used in the authors own medium post, do you have a suggestion on how they should have phrased it? Do you know anyone, female or male, who have been hit on, flirted with, or sexually harassed at work by colleagues, bosses, etc? I do, I suspect it is more common than people realize.

    You still don't get it. It was unWANTED and inappropriate advances given the professional relationship and setting. It's not like asking someone out at a bar, ffs.

      OK if I "don't get it" then can you explain how what you said here: > "It was unWANTED and inappropriate advances given the professional relationship and setting." is different from what I said here: "anyone, female or male, who have been hit on, flirted with, or sexually harassed at work by colleagues, bosses, etc"

        What you described is much more general.

The story was discussed heavily few days back and arguably has been one of the biggest news that broke in the tech industry in a while. That's the reason why the article seems to have assumed a whole bunch of stuff.

  I suppose the insider-baseball nature of how the story is presented is what makes it hard to follow. These type of articles are often a mishmash of namedropping and assumptions, which ends up distracting from the actual story or the topic itself.
