I hear these kinds of comments every time there's some pushback against such behavior.
Despite your shrill protestations, there is no "mob filled with righteous hatred" going around. Where action is being taken, it is with a preponderance of evidence.
Only those who have actually indulged in such behavior need to worry.
- tigershark 9y agoExcuse me? How would you find "preponderance of evidence" for a leg touch? I'm genuinely curious. Once while I was stretching on my chair in the office I bumped inadvertently with one colleague that was passing behind me. Do you think that I should be fired and my career ended if she suddenly wrote in a blog post that I touched her?
- dang 9y agoThe blog post now linked to above describes much more and much worse than a "leg touch".
- candiodari 9y agoPlus it's not like for this individual there is any shortage of women testifying publicly and privately to his behavior.
- emj 9y agoThat seems hypothetical, if you did that and sent private messages etc. then I do think there should be some repercussions. I've seen those accusations happen twice and no one got fired, but both victim quit shortly after. This did get an discussion going about how to deal with it, and there were very few people who thought it was a firing offence. I hope that is changing with younger more aware people getting into the workplace.
