Can I post #metoo because I have to hear about their cramps or boob sweat when they go outside?

As with most things like this, it isn't a two way street.

We were all getting flu shots the other day, I'm squimish about that and don't take kindly to needles. I'm sweating it out, but know I will get through it. Still, I get the expected ribbing from my guys because I say down instead of just standing and winced at the needle. (Yeah, imma bitch).

A girl in the office came in right behind me and decided to sit for the shot too, we are all still doing the same thing, calling out people that aren't getting it, saying the old guys are more at risk, blah blah blah.

Some random deadhead comes in and says we need to knock it off because we could be making the girl uncomfortable with how we were talking.

Yes, we were told we could be harrassing because of making fun of a male and female for sitting instead of standing while getting flu shots.


FTR, the girl said it didnt get uncomfortable until the deadhead stepped in and singled her out.

This is so true. We had a situation where a young and very attractive female came to work in our group and naturally wanted to fit in. She drank harder, swore more and talked raunchier than any two of the guys. I saw the writing on the wall and stayed the hell away from her. The less fortunate guys just thought she was a "cool chick" and ran with it. Lo and behold, she started keeping a journal of the things being said and done and heads rolled. The fact that she was the instigator or participating didn't matter. Guys got royally screwed for behavior that was clearly prohibited conduct. Such a one way street.

Had something like that happen to a co-worker of mine. We had a lady in the department who liked to joke and be a pervert. My friend played along with her for several months thinking she was cool.

She started dealing with some mental problems from something in her personal life and decided she had been offended and reported him to HR. He got a written warning about it.
Totally messed up the department after that. Pissed me off because I heard her talking and acting that way all of the time.

Women like this fck it all up for women who are really being mistreated, because nobody wants to believe them because of counts like her.

Cosensual sex between adults is not harassment or assault. Just saying.

I just don’t understand this behavior (from men) at any job above bartender. I worked too damn hard to get my job to get canned making a bawdy joke or worse. I’ll take being the office nerd any day.

The “welcome to the restaurant biz” comments here are misguided, too. This wasn’t a waiter screwing the hostess, or a line cook talking about his escapades. It was from the top. That’s unlike any restaurant I’ve worked (two).

I agree. Point is about the one way street part of punishment.

I take no chances. Earlier this year we had a work function and then dinner afterwords. Drinks were had and then some of us decided to go bar hopping in the quarter. It was four guys and a new young hot employee.
We ended up at a strip club and once I saw where that was headed, I left after 5 minutes and probably shouldn't have went in anyway.
I hate that I missed her getting lap dances though.

Can easily see this being the end of Bush in the public eye for a very long time. He will probably resign from his company to "work on his marriage."

And yeah, while the sex between him and the coworker may have been "consensual," what part of it was the woman afraid to say "no" because her boss was a rich, local celebrity she knew could ruin her career in the hospitality business?

Real also noted the staff of Besh Steak worked for Harrah's and not the Besh Restaurant Group.

"Harrah’s New Orleans maintains a robust human resources department and processes, including a toll-free anonymous ethics and compliance hotline which allows employees to report concerns and allegations," Real said.


They have a much better rep than Besh and his company does at the moment.
