Lauer "had a button under his desk that allowed him to lock his door from the inside without getting up"
There are a dozen reasons Lauer might have had that feature installed. Since he's been accused of something though (something supposedly unspeakably terrible and awful, but what -- we don't know), things like a remote door lock take on supposedly sinister connotations.
I'll bet Roy Moore has a button in his car that locks his car doors. Does that serve purpose for assaulting women in his passenger seat?
Look, I hate Matt Lauer. He's been a manipulative piece of liberal garbage on the NBC set. Maybe he was Weinstein's sexually abusive twin. Maybe we'll find he was a serial abuser. But until we hear actual reasons for his dismissal, until we hear the actual basis for the NBC decision, in fairness it's hard to draw sexual inference about a remote office door lock.

This sounds like something a Bond villain would have installed in his office
Imagine if you will, the fear of the young intern who brings Mr. Lauer his coffee in the morning and hears that door lock behind her.

I mean the inferences here pretty much write themselves without any need for doctoring the language, yeah.

His office was in a secluded space, and he had a button under his desk that allowed him to lock his door from the inside without getting up. This afforded him the assurance of privacy. It allowed him to welcome female employees and initiate inappropriate contact while knowing nobody could walk in on him, according to two women who were sexually harassed by Lauer.
quote:
As the co-host of NBC’s “Today,” Matt Lauer once gave a colleague a sex toy as a present. It included an explicit note about how he wanted to use it on her, which left her mortified. On another day, he summoned a different female employee to his office, and then dropped his pants, showing her his penis. After the employee declined to do anything, visibly shaken, he reprimanded her for not engaging in a sexual act.
Yep, just needed that button for many various reasons.

secluded space = Every High level person's office........EVER
that allowed him to lock his door from the inside without getting up = almost certainly common practice at that level

When I worked at Shaw, the CEO had almost the entire 12th floor to himself and you had to have special access to get up there. That doesn't mean it was a rape den.

Not for you, at least.

And?
Of course I can't install one right now because I have to wait for the Matt Lauer story to blow over.

Nick Saban Office Door Button
Nick Saban has a button that closes and locks his door, = Confirmed harasser, must be fired!

They’re pretty serious, intimidating guys, especially when you’re 15 years old sitting in Saban’s office,” Bosa said. “Then he pushes this button that automatically closes the door.”
