  I fulfilled my obligation to the company and took it to my boss, the plant manager.
H.R. did get involved, his doing not mine.
I don't have any further details of what was said in any of the meetings since i wasn't included.
I do know that the lift driver was terminated and my mill operator got 3 days off without pay, any further infractions within 180 days is automatic termination.
As far as my bike is concerned, it's mine to fix and hope nothing else happens.
I'm not happy about it, but there's nothing more i can do without proof.

Good! They terminated the lift driver. For sexual harassment? The babe sending naked pics around only gets 3 days off?

All things being equal, it sounds like she got off easy. (so to speak) I guess we are less offended by pics. of naked women than we are by persistent lift drivers. Of course, the lift driver was guilty of harassment and poor job performance.

Sounds like it worked out about as well as you could have hoped for.  [thumbsup]

no, less likely to get a lawsuit from a male compared to a female... just a fact..

The CYA motto: Don't be the senior guy with a secret.

From what I can gather from your posts, once you found out about her sending the pics, it went way above your pay grade.

Being asked to handle things at the lowest possible level ("He won't stop hitting on me, he won't deliver the materials I need, he's being sexist dickbag, but I don't want to go to HR or make a big deal out of this.") is great if that's the entirety of the situation and it can be solved with a conversation.

It's never that simple.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

MH, you did the right thing by letting the "professionals" handle the issue.  The lift driver got terminated because he did sexually harassed his co-worker AT WORK.  He got what he deserved.  If he would have done it in his private life, it'd be viewed differently.  The female co-worker did send pics but, from what I can see, she did it on her own time.  If she did it via company PC or email account, then it'd be ground for termination.

Rule of thumb, keep your work life work focused.  After you clock out, you can do whatever you want.

Sadly not always true, many employers check up on their employees via social media, etc...

Nope. More cops get fired for stuff they do off the clock then on.

...  If you are a public figure or public servant, you should know better to be on your best behavior at all times.  Watchful eyes are, well, watching.  Last year, there were 2 Bellevue (WA) cops acting a fool at a Seahawks game.  Apparently, they were already a drunken mess outside of the stadium and verbally assaulted a Seattle cop.  Once in the stadium, they were dropping f-bombs with kids around them.  When confronted, they went off on a parent to a couple kids sitting near by.  They even flashed their badges...  Needless to say, they were made example of in local media and both got a demotion.
