We're the Only Ones Harassing Enough

Y'know, I don't automatically believe her, either. Get cozy with the boss, what the hell do you think is going to happen? [More]

All those years working in a corporate environment before I was married and I never once thought it appropriate to fish from the company dock, and especially with someone either higher OR lower in the chain of command.  I always considered the latter abusive and just plain unfair to someone who is there to earn a living, not put up with advances.

You separate professional from personal. That's also why I never stood for Management By Terror types screaming at me, and as a result, they never did, because as soon as they started working up to it, I made it crystal clear there was a line I would not allow to be crossed.

Never want a job so badly you're willing to compromise your dignity.  If you realize the worst thing they can do is fire you, and then compare that life event on a scale of one to 10 to, say, losing a loved one, well, it kind of puts it all in perspective.

Her claims should be easy to prove, since it seems he was very open about his harassment and was intimidating toward more than one person.

But I agree with you completely that this is highly unprofessional and inappropriate behavior in any case. Don't most agencies have at least some form of non fraternization policy? They both need to be fired.
