Do you know of some data that relationships within companies (and in particular where one person has power over the other) are significantly more abusive than the average?
That's what it would take for me to reconsider my belief that relationships within companies are not to be regulated by policies.
My experience is that there is a) no significant difference and b) that sexual predators won't be stopped by a policy (but it makes it easier to remove them).
I actually have difficulties why we have to discuss relationships and sexual misconduct in the same thread.
- wpietri 8y agoOk? I guess you're welcome to have any beliefs you like. But many companies have a rule like the one I describe, and they do it purely for business reasons. They don't need the hassle, and it's part of the normal course of business to make sure that managerial power isn't misused. If you think there should be some sort of law preventing companies from having this sort of rule, I guess that's your prerogative. But you'll have to make an argument why companies shouldn't have the freedom to make what they see as reasonable and necessary decisions about how to run their business.
