Sexual harassment in the workplace

Back when I was in my twenties I spent six months installing machinery in a factory that was 95% women.God it was dangerous in there, I loved it!
Now im mid forties id be safe:bawling:

Ditto. Early 1970's. Gag gifts at Christmas, always taken in the spirit of healthy human FUN!!

- A bra for "the girl with that little something extra" to a seriously busty technician on my staff. It had Double-G cups, of course. THREE of them, not two.

- A hand-knitted woolen "prick warmer" that did not neglect the C. O. Jones. To me, FROM a cute staffer. Matter-of-fact warranty - stated in front of God and the whole department was that she'd be pleased to adjust it after personalized size-checking. She wasn't kidding about THAT part, either. She had a proud reputation for having made many such size-checks with a legendarily redundant-sampling "coordinate measurement system" of her own.

Television was lousy in Appalachia. Folks had to find their own entertainment.

I chose to give the opportunity a miss and keep carrying a flashlight in my trouser pocket so as to let it remain a mystery that it was several sizes too large!

:D

It sure looks like it, but he has his name and location all filled out, so I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.
.. for now...

Doesn't sound like a bot....

Nowadays if you call that big guy running the Blanchard with a beard and wearing a dress Mister Smith, you might get sued..or punched in the nose..
At our Christmas party, I called my niece Marie (her name) and she gave me a nasty look...Now she wants to be a boy/man and be called Alix.
I think everybody should make a stand on boys in girls' sports and boys/men in the school girls' showers.

*Oh to make this post machine related..boys/men should not hang out their tools in the wrong places.

Any business owner who would be involved in this in today's world has to be totally out of touch. This could easily cost an owner their business. The Me Too movement had barely gotten a foothold when this thread started. It's been over a year since oldwrench was on the forum, I wonder if he would have posted this today? I'm surprised Milacron has not shut this thread down, some advertisers might not approve or see the humor.

I am a retired school teacher. years ago I was taught, at an inservice, that it was fine to ask out another employee. If they said "no" asking again would be considered harassment.
My father meet and dated my mom at work. My cousin met and dated his coworker, got married and waited about one year before they told management and one had to leave the district.
My sister met her husband at a summer resort job in college.
I met my wife at a job fair.

I was reading the Southland Times. Southland for those that don't know is at the bottom of the New Zealand South island, tough country.

There was an article about people protesting over councils decision to let anyone who identified as a woman use the female facilities at the local pool. Someone turned up with a placard "Born with a willy, can't be a filly". Got to love the kiwi sense of humour.

I once worked for an insurance company. The District manager was accused of sexual harassment when he failed to promote his secretary as promised in return for hanky-panky. The company paid the lady off, transferred her and told Mr. Manager that one more time and he would be out the door.
A year or so later, he repeated. I was told that two security men walked him out the door, ripped off his badge and said goodbye. Exit Mr. Manager.

i remember, some where in the mid ninety's when this sexual harassment was becoming a big thing,
we had a company meeting. anyway, one of our women exclaimed the sexual harassment was her favorite part of the day.
We had a meeting of the staff committee (I think it was called) with senior management at a small firm where I worked in the late eighties, and when the MD called for Any Other Business at the end of the meeting, one of the women said "Sexual harassment... we want more of it!". The boss looked stunned for a moment, but took it in good part.
