Not really. Two more reasons to kill Skype immediately after use:

- Network drain - just how much data an app uses is nonobvious for most people, especially that it changes over time.

- System resources drain - low-to-mid-end Android phones are usually pretty underpowered; they can barely lift their OS. Any application running in the background makes using other applications more frustrating. Hence the popularity of auto-killers on Android.
It was super fucking gross. That said, I get the impression that she didn't immediately think to record evidence of his transgressions. In that case, HR usually will have to split the baby because they are ultimately there to protect the company.

If it was the first time this guy has done something wrong, which is kind of unbelievable, then it's not a horrible result. Maybe he really is just that socially backwards that he needed an HR intervention to learn what everyone fucking should know. But the cynic in most of us is saying that this is a pattern of behavior that was probably repeated in a more covert manner.
I don't think you can do that.
Yes, because google as a entity would've been able to kiss her on the cheek. a company isn't capable of executing the type of harassment that she is complaining about. But whatever, down-voted to hell by a community as a toxic as reddit simply because of a difference in opinion.
This numbers are completly screwed through the invention of the new auto-entrepreneur status five years ago. But this new status is not suitable for any startup. Thats nice for plombiers or other handy mans. But even those should avoid to earn more than a basic income.
Regarding salary compared to doctors? It seems better than it is. In Norway, starting salary for doctors is about the same as anyone with a masters degree.
It doesn't matter if it was "more flirtatious than forced". A manager should not flirt with their reports. Managers are supposed to be responsible for the growth of their employees; making an employee so uncomfortable with you that they run away from you on sight is a spectacular failure to do your job.
That's true, the reason I mentioned the RPi was because I happen to have one lying around. (Actually, I seem to remember there are a couple of AVR development boards lying around in the lab, so these might be worth a look.)

My project involves generating two analogue signals to drive a mirror (a sin wave on the x-axis and a staircase pattern on the y-axis), and a synchronized digital trigger signal for the camera. There are a number of configuration options that make this slightly more interesting than it looks at first (frequency, number of sin periods per staircase step, duty cycle and number of triggers per sin).

An implementation of this on a NI DAQ took the better part of a day and an implementation on a FPGA took roughly two weeks (mostly spent on familiarizing with the tools and communicating settings from the host.) I actually think an implementation on the RPi would be simpler than either, including wiring up simple DAQ.
My "70s workers' paradise"? Please don't put words in my mouth, I made no such claim.

I was referring to traditional local pubs, not the town-centre "vertical drinking establishments" which replaced them.

"Right-to-buy" schemes weren't the problem - my in-laws live in an ex-Council House which they bought. This was actually a good thing in that one of the problems with large out-of-town Council Estates was that they ended up containing a monoculture lacking in good visible role models for the children growing up on them. Private purchases on those estates improved that situation.

The problem wasn't "Right to Buy", it was "Right to Build" - Councils should have been allowed (and encouraged) to use the money raised from Sales to build replacement housing.

I find it interesting that you describe my pointing out mistakes that have been made as "romanticising the past". On the contrary, if you want to improve things then the very first thing you have to acknowledge is when and where things have gone wrong.
You document that you went to HR concerning the situation wait a week and then contact a lawyer. Or contact a lawyer and then documents it.

This is what I told a family friend who also got the sit on my lap request. Well lets say her husband got laid off for a few years and they weren't in any trouble.
The crime stats are wildly different and in the rural poor white area my mom retired to (life is actually excellent there if you have retirement money) the crime blotter is exclusively alcohol and drug related or inspired or "powered by", whereas all manner of criminality goes on in the non-white areas.

Aside from type of crime, there's also intense "blame the victim" in the poor white areas, because "sure he was wrong to hit you, but you've grown up with him for decades how can you pretend not to know he's the village's violent drunk, best avoided?" or "sure the guy who crashed into you was drunk and thats wrong, but you've lived here for decades how can you not know after dark the roads are only for drunks?" Whereas "most" non-white area crime is anonymous, someone just walked down the wrong street or parked in the wrong spot or walked into a gunfight they had nothing to do with.

Generally speaking affirmative action means the non-whites have a chance for the future even if they don't deserve it leading to optimism, and also means that at least some of the whites who do deserve it won't get a future, leading to pessimism which also does wonders for race relations (sarcasm).

Just for anyone who reads the comments before TFA, the author does escalate this into reporting it to HR:

> During the HR investigation that ensued, I remember being shamed by a female colleague who thought I was blowing the situation out of proportion. She thought I was being overly sensitive, and that it was wrong of me to report my manager. That hurt. I thought she would’ve naturally supported me.

Maybe you think she should have gone to HR earlier? Hard to say, but there is no hard and fast rule on this... I mean not just that people disagree on what sexual harassment entails, but it's also not easy to see the signs of sexual harassment. For example, let's say on my first day of work, a co-worker asks if I know of any good pho joints. Am I being asked that because I'm Vietnamese? Or is it because this new co-worker has seen me tweet about how much I like pho (and it's just a coincidence that I'm vietnamese)? Or is it because we're in Northern California where there is known to be a decent quantity of pho joints (for America), and asking about pho is not much different than asking about BBQ if you were in the South?

It's possible that such a question is a symptom of deep-seated racism/stereotypes, and that in a hindsight report, I'd be sure to include it as an anecdote to illustrate what was going on even from the first day. But I'd have to admit that I'd be very reluctant to turn this kind of incident into an HR thing -- at that very moment.

In the OP's case...yeah, if she were getting kissed/propositioned on the first day, that would be an HR thing. But if someone were to note how young she was, or what a cute dress she had on...comments that often but not always signify non-professional behavior...I can see why she wouldn't go to HR on the very first day.

See - this is interesting. There is definitely a sense that in "ye olden days" people were stauncher. There's a bit of application of so called common sense where a lot of behaviours can be shut down by addressing them.

Yet you instantly have to recognise that you just blamed the victim for not being more assertive, and not being able to protect themself from something that they should never have to deal with - it's not even close to acceptable behaviour.

I am not unsympathetic to your point, I just kinda wish some consequences would start arising for the seemingly endless tide of entitled pricks who either don't care or don't know any better.
A tangent.

> The privacy settings were constantly being reset.

True. What privacy-minded Facebook critics often miss is that privacy settings seem to have been constantly reset towards "more private" mode. Hell, at this point Facebook is starting to get really annoying with those recurring reminders about visibility of my post. I post all-public because I like it that way, I hate the constant nagging about switching to more private mode.

> What happened next was that the offender moved on to someone else, and when they found someone who wasn't so confident as your mother, sexually assaulted her.

Uh, no, but I can see how your expectations have been molded to believe this is the only possible "thing that happened next".

> but you should be careful that people don't accidentally think that you're ascribing blame to the victim.

No accident. The "victim" shares the responsibility of standing up for themselves. This culture of victimhood has helped no one but Tumblr.

My mother worked in the oil industry in the 70s and 80s, and these are the exact things she would say. (talk about male-dominated industry!)

Heading off to HR only sweeps the conflict under a bureaucratic rug and never really deals with the problem effectively.

Todays office culture is so toxic, and I fear it will get worse as "trigger warning" and "safe places" graduate from college campuses to the workplace.

Rather, just be a stronger person and call out the bastard to is acting the fool.
The 60% number refers to "unwanted sexual advances", not sexual harassment. Only 30% received unwanted sexual advances more than once, so that seems like a solid upper bound on actual sexual harassment.

If you consider even a single unwanted sexual advance to be harassment then you get silly conclusions which I expect you don't endorse. For example, I've been "harassed" repeatedly by fatties and gay guys in the past few weeks - they approach me and go away when I display disinterest. Pune and Bombay are so unsafe for men!

> Yet you instantly have to recognise that you just blamed the victim for not being more assertive

You and every other commenter seems to think I don't understand that. Not sure why.
I'm a hetrosexual male who's done everything from construction to coding. At every job I've had--workers, mainly guys, but so, so many women too, discuss their sexual life. (In all honestly, women have told me too more personal things (sexual in nature) at work, over men. The big difference is these women had no power over my career.

And the difference is they weren't "hitting" on me. When I was a younger man--yes some where, but I handled the situation. (I guarantee now they are just yacking about sex, and their personal stuff.)The last thing I wanted to hear on a Monday was a story about Shirly's elder son walking in on her and her new boy friend "rattling the bed". I still can't get that image out of my head, and it's been 20 years.

Actually, I have found both sexes guilty of talking about their sex life at work. It could be intimate details of the date you had on Friday night, or how your mate isn't attentive to your needs any more. I've never liked hearing personal stuff about my coworkers. Of course, I never said anything, because it was innocent conversation at the time, but if I was an attractive female, or a young attractive male, I might have thought differently.

Maybe we shouldn't talk about this stuff at work. Personally, I just don't like hearing anything that personal
ever. That's what therapists get paid to suffer through?

I not conflating my experiences with her's; just stating we shouldn't talk about anything remotely sexual--hell--shut up about baby on the way. We see the cute baby bump, or suffer through how hard it was to fertilize the egg. (Guys like me look at it as a tragedy, not something great.) People talk way too much at work. In my experience, most are lonely and don't have close friends, and use workers as free friends, and free therapy. We don't want to hear it. The jokes are worn out. It's just done. Find friends outside of work to dazzle with your stories. I know finding friends is very hard. It's even harder, if all you have concentrated on is work since that first job out of college.

And yes, some are sexual predators. I've seen them in most work places. Ive seen gay managers give special jobs to their boy Friday. I've seen pretty girls promoted--just becase they are pretty. I used to see blatatent sexual harassment, but not in the last fifteen years, but it looks like it hasn't gone away, at least at Google.

What happened to the woman in the article was unacceptable _if_ she clearly signaled she wasn't interested. On the other hand some women now think "Why won't that cute guy come hit on me?, is he shy or gay?" No he is worried you will report him for harassment. Forget ever trying to date someone from work it's a minefield (as is dating in general!).

As a note: the above comments advice is probably specific to the US.

In the UK, for instance, terminating someone for reporting sexual harassment is a very good way of losing a lot of money at a subsequent Employee Tribunal and getting your company fined. There's a lot of great precedent for siding with the reporter, even if other flimsy reasons are given for their termination.

However, the point made is a correct one. An HR person has a duty not to you but to the company, so never assume they have your best interests at heart.
Uh, no, but I can see how your expectations have been molded to believe this is the only possible "thing that happened next".

Do you think your mother was so special that a man who attempted to sexually assault her tried it that one time only, on her only? While it's not impossible, the balance of probability very much suggests that a man willing to try this on your mother is willing to try this on other women as well.

As an aside, this is a text interface. There is no need to represent in text exactly what comes out of your mouth. You need not begin your sentences with "Uh".

Why do you place the word "victim" in quotes? Do you suggest that they are not victims?
If you think that women are somehow immune to this behaviour you are very naive. Stereotype of older women superior hitting on young men has not appeared from thin air.
Isn't that a tradeoff between some form of security, the benefits, the name recognition, the value it gives you on the market later VS the freedom to market yourself more precisely, the more divers opportunities, etc?

Yep. My mom was the first woman in her industry to be certified as a plant operator; the first woman to be on the board that certifies operators, and the first woman to chair the board of certification.

Well this was in the US, where people do not kiss colleagues on the cheek. I know your intentions are fair in mentioning this cultural practice but that sort of justification also presents a fair amount of minimization of obvious harassment. I mean, do you kiss everyone on the cheek in Spanish-speaking countries or just very close friends?

It does happen and I've seen it, I had to take my own manager to one side when I was team leader and explain to him his behaviour was unacceptable and he'd likely end up with an HR complaint.

In that case it was jokes that I don't think had any malice but would definitely look bad in front of HR.

I'd like to preface this comment by saying I'm not confident in my opinion, and I'm very open to discussion and to changing my stance.

My understanding is that the manager's actions would likely be considered low level harassment, tipping towards misconduct considering the short duration (1 week) and minimal resolution attempts outside of HR. Definitions are hard for this subject, but my understanding is the phrase escalates with severity from misconduct->harassment->assault.

I agree that the manager was in the wrong, but I worry about a culture that cannot readily distinguish the severity of conduct, and in-turn come up with an appropriate response.

In this scenario, I feel going to HR was appropriate, but I also feel this writing takes an overly hostile tone, instead of one focused on improvement. I'd find this tone appropriate if there were more pushback from HR, or if harassment continued and HR wouldn't help resolve. But as far as I can tell, OP is happy with HRs response.

Perhaps instead we can explore what HR can and should do to prevent self-confidence issues at the conclusion of these investigations? To me, that would be more beneficial than asking others to pursue a path which - all things being similar - results in self-doubt.
Unwanted sexual advances "from a superior" is the bit that makes it harassment. You can ask out a co-worker but you don't ask out people where there is a power imbalance in the relationship, it's not rocket science.

It's unacceptable because of the manager-subordinate relation.

And you can't put the burden on women to actively signal that they are not sexually interested in a professional setting. That's at best a large distraction for them, and at worst very draining and emotionally damaging.
I have a feeling that if your mother read this comment she would tell you to cut this shit out.

HR exists to protect the company. Imagine if you were about to sign a contract and asked to have your lawyer review it; it's obvious that if the company were to say "don't worry, we had our lawyers review it," you would still want your own lawyer.

However, the laws are written to protect employees from abuse, and if they're decent laws, the company should have a strong incentive to do the right thing, and then never give a bad reference when another company asks if they should hire the offender.
it would be nice if it allowed to combine words from multiple languages.

This is the same case in the US but you can still be out of a job which is a serious problem for many.
It's because people give the benefit of the doubt and don't want to think you're the kind of guy who blames the weak and powerless when bullies abuse them.

I think visitation rights are genuinely an area where men have it worse. That said, I know plenty of women who didn't do well out of divorce. My mother was divorced for much of my childhood, and so were many of her friends. Several of the ex-husbands fiddled their income such that they paid minimal support while having enough money to go gallivanting around the world.

Thanks for sharing, in any case. It's all food for thought -- and clearly, something needs to be done about visitation rights.

Correct.

It's harder to enforce judgements on this kind of thing though, because ambiguity exists about the intention. It's much easier to punish clear "do me a favor for the promotion/bonus" situations.

I agree a blanket "no romance with direct reports" rule is best.

I'm just astonished she didn't get an immediate transfer to another group. I would be livid if this was happening and HR didn't remove the power dynamic immediately.
I feel like she is lacking self confidence, personality. Is she living in a fantasy world where everybody is kind? I was not here, so I don't want to juge, but she has only been asked to sit on ones lap, she could have strongly refuse and asked why she would do that in the first place. She should have shown strong signs of rejection, express the fact that is make her uncomfortable and asked him to stop. If he does not stop, them it is appropriate to report the behavior.
But I don't call this has "sexual harassment", but more has sexual interest.
