Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: Wrong, But Incredibly Amusing

Last week, as part of our company's new "let's cut down on the blowjob jokes when clients are in the building" campaign, management -- of which, amazingly, I am a part -- was required to view an online sexual harassment tutorial. Sadly, it wasn't an educational piece, designed to help me coax Laurie from finance out of her ridiculously tight Blue Cult jeans, but rather a painfully explanatory piece on what constitutes "unwanted harassment in the workplace" [Surprise! You shouldn't look at porno or feel up your co-workers].

The video was amazingly hilarious, and my only regret is that I couldn't somehow capture the fucker and post it all here. But I think the screenshots presented above pretty much get the point across.

Personally, my feeling is that the key word is "unwanted." I think there are plenty of folks in my building who show up purely for the chance to gawk at or to be gawked at by fellow workers. And, let's face it, nothing makes the day move faster than hearing a couple girls in sales making cunnilingus jokes. I say bring this shit up at hiring time. All new employees should be warned: "Work here, and we will speak openly about your ass, examine your package daily, and, if liquored up enough, possibly try to bang you in the copy room. If you have a problem, perhaps WalMart would be a better match for you."
