I’m no Matt Lauer fan but you’re saying you just believe everything these women say because nobody has PROVEN that they’re lying

I’ve only been at my current job for 5 years. If one of my female coworkers claimed a patted her on the arse at some point and it was absolutely false, how the frick would you expect me to prove that other than the female coming out and admitting she was lying?

Uhhh WaPo caught someone earlier this weak being a fake accuser with the Roy Moore deal. Granted this individual was trying to embarrass the WaPo. But never the less. It has alreadyhappen.

I thought this thread was a joke. This is getting stupid.

This is legit the only way you could prove otherwise.

Possibly security footage. But even that can be erased.

No I mean the first obvious hit job of a guy. Or the first investigation into a woman for extortion.

I would hope at your job you’d not be fired in your scenario. I’d hope a pattern would have to be established to can you. Some corroboration. You’d get a definite discussion with HR. At that point sadly it’s on you to avoid that worker like the plague. Never find yourself alone with her.

Al Roker makes an inappropriate comment every other minute on air, but he’s likeable. Lauer is a douche.

They kind of have to say something about this on air. Not that shocking dude.

In which case I think most normal workplaces already have this handled. You probably get suspended but not fired.

I actually worked at a place where a dude (PA) was canned for hitting on nurses. He was warned and suspended. His final accuser was fricking nuts. Had her complaint stood alone she was too sketchy to get him fired, but the pattern was there. The guy was habitual. So he was gone. Deservedly.

I’m thinking either he admitted it or there was irrefutable proof, like a recording.

I'm going to wait for this to slowly unravel throughout the day. Do we even have the few memo to read yet? A similar situation happen when Mark Halperin & Bill O'reilly were fired.

Exactly, I would be a bit shocked if this was a "hear say" situation. Especially when this decision came down directly from Andrew Lack.

A lot of corporate American quietly settles complaints as a cost of doing business even when they don't think it is legitimate.

Taking action against a high profile figure like this probably means that it was both serious and credible.

Strong pick.

In the celebrity career death watch.

But he brings up another facet that infuriates me. Retrograde outrage through today’s lens. If Lorne squeezed Lorraine Newman’s arse in 1975 at a party and said “hey baby you wanna make it” (paraphrasing how I think they spoke then), I don’t care. If he RAPED her, I do care.

It’s the attitude of the times. A man was a pig in 1975? I’m schocked!! 1965? Really shocked. It’s like “outing” Old white men for racist shite they said or thought as young men in the 50’s or 60’s.
