    Sexual harassment happens in all industries. What if you hear that some member of upper management where you work has been accused of sexually harassing someone? Just quit before it happens to you?

    The archetype of the boss sleeping with his secretary is well known too. Should women not get administrative jobs either? :chris:

    If I hear "accused of harassment" then I wonder if it's true, I don't automatically assume "accusation=guilt" like so many seem to do.

    If it's someone harassing me (has never happened btw, I'm too unattractive) then I take them out to the parking lot and adjust their attitude for them. But that's just me.

    Sounds like you have self respect. Something these actresses lack.

    A lot of chefs are assholes and treat people like shit. I’m aware of this and yet stay in the restaurant business and aspire to be a chef, therefore it’s my own fault for getting treated like shit by chefs, is that the logic here?

    Out of curiosity, what is it that you do for a living that you don't have to put up with anybody's bullshit?

    No asshole, I’m not going to just quit because I got yelled at for cutting a potato the “wrong” way, I have self respect. Besides, what makes you think I can afford to just quit? Also, if I quit every job where the chef yelled at me, I’d have no real work history on my resume. You really are a shit stain to blame the victims here. I’m not comparing my situation to rape, but you think I like getting yelled at? You think it doesn’t hurt my already fragile self esteem? You think it doesn’t affect my already high anxiety? You’re a real piece of shit.

    I guess you gotta pay your dues in whatever profession you work in. In yours, it’s getting yelled at by alcoholic chefs. In acting it’s sucking dick.

    Nope, neither are acceptable and you shouldn’t have to tolerate them to get ahead. If you are raped, you have no choice. In my situation, yeah I choices, but they are shitty or will lead nowhere so that’s what I call not much of a choice.

    Telling us what you do for a living gives us very little information. We aren’t asking where specifically you work or what town, just in general. The real question is if you’ve had to put up with other people’s shit at your job because if you haven’t, then I want that job.

    How is knowing a job going to give any clue as to who you are. I currently work in Payroll as an Access developer. How can you figure out who I am with that?

    They're going the wrong way about it then - whilst this is a worthy topic, apparently Time has NEVER had a woman as POTY unless part of a collective i.e. the "You" title or this one. Part of the cultural problem.
