In reply to the discussion: Is there a man left who can't be accused of sexual impropriety? [View all]FarCenter
(19,429 posts)In a case handled by one of my peers at work, his male subordinate from an ethnic group with a relaxed attitude towards sex placed a filled out purchase order form for contraceptives on the desk of a female from an ethnic group with a conservative attitude.
The HR complaint resulted in the male employee losing his raise that year.
I would also assume that "accused" these days would also include accusations on facebook, twitter, and in the media.
I tried to keep pretty close track of my subordinates behavior, but in one case a senior admin advised me that one of my male subordinates was spending too much time with a group of female employees. I sat him down and explained that neither he nor I would like the consequences if he continued and the matter was resolved.
This was at a company which into the 60s maintained separate coat closets for men and women to prevent stray hairs, perfume, etc, from being discovered on male employees coats by suspicious wives.
