My long time colleague and friend fired for sexual harasment

I just got a email from HR:
" Avi is no longer employed with the company".
That's it! No thanks, no explanation!

Avi is a middle aged happy black man, has one son one daughter, he is one of the most experienced electrician in our company. He likes to joke around and has a big mouth. unfortunately.

I called his personal cell phone immediately and knew what happened then.

Three months ago we hired a young girl, she is the first female field service technician our company hired.
She needs to work 8000 hours with a licensed technician before taking the government's exam and get the license.
She worked with me most of the time.
This morning I worked far away by myself and manager asked the girl working with Avi, he couldn't find her and saw a person standing in front of the work table preparing tools. Avi went forward and slapped his hip:" Hi, man! Did you see Vanessa?"
That person turned around, "HE" was Vanessa!
She went to HR complaining immediately and Avi got fired.
What a stupid and reckless decision HR and management just made!


 

是挺倒霉。能什么时候再召回来吗？

a narrow escape! 欲哥吓得冒了一身冷汗，看来你们不是Unionized

确实有点儿后怕，在工作间隙闲聊时我曾以长辈身份打听过西裔丫头有没有男友想找啥样的

类似事情也在我们这里发生过, uion reconciliation是第一步，

没工会，事发后同事们都很愤怒，那几个管理层都是外招的职业经理人，不是从下面干上来的，滑头得很

Always control your meaningful glance and avoid any touch with o

with any other’s body and no flattery to colleagues of opposite

sex

一旦遇上想搞你的人，你死定了

你说对了！他常亲热叫我 Chinaman,我不在意但他被经理委婉警告过，还有女客户反应 he talked too much

在美国千万小心，国人异性间开玩笑惯了，在这里大多属于sex harassment

美国文革。

美国讲民主自由，对吧。蛋是，你会发现同事之间极少有交心的聊天。缘何？公共场合一切都在法律的框架里运行，任何随心所欲都可能触碰法律

我们在加拿大但情况类似，同事准备雇律师起诉公司胜算应该不小

是个很好的警醒

 

 

吓得我一身冷汗，打一下屁股就这样？

恭喜欲哥。首页进来，谢谢网管， “My long time colleague and friend fired”挂首成功：）

这真是

让我想起“长在路边走那有不湿鞋”-  slapped his hip - 都没搞清楚是谁就这样，是有点没心没肺了，工作场合不合适。

“he talked too much"

有点经常对这种事不以为意的样子，结果碰巧碰到个新人受不了，栽了。

现在人们，工作场合不得不十分小心了，小心各种可能 。。。说错话，让人会错意，都可能惹麻烦，更何况"touch"。

这次疫情后，觉得work remotely 会越来越多了。

是同事胜算不小？还是公司胜算不小？

莫非你也？ 我认识个人打了他家孩子屁股，孩子告诉老师，老师报告妇幼保护机构，说他家庭暴力，把他隔离半个月

现在女人的PG越来越重要了, 和女同事一起工作千万不能大大咧咧的.
