Spit it back, and hope for maturity over animal-rutting instincts next time. Also, be careful about flirting with a guy with wine.
i think you were more forgiving than me- maybe my HR experience has made me too harsh- not sure.
and yeah- totally bemused by the wine thing.
asked a few friends about this- they all made retching gestures.
Also, thinking about how I would react to the things that happened to you, Susan, it seems awfully contingent on the whole workplace environment. If the environment was generally friendly, and I felt like my co-workers had my back, then one dickish action on a co-worker’s part wouldn’t bother me. If the environment was hostile and competitive to the point where a comment like those actually made me feel threatened, then I feel like the problem would be a lot bigger than an isolated incident of sexual harassment, and that I would ought to look for another job regardless.
Regarding the women who have commented here saying “sexual harassment is serious and a woman should feel comfortable going to a higher authority”… Perhaps in an ideal world, no one would have to deal with unpleasant comments or unpleasant people. But these are things that everyone, male or female, will have to confront, and it’s best to learn how to handle them. The problem with feminism (along with many other ideologies) is that it is very concerned with how the world “should be”. When taken positively, such ideologies inspire activism, as their proponents try to shift society closer to the ideal. But taken negatively, these ideologies only foster resentment and indignation, as people constantly compare the real world to the world as it “should be” and find the real world lacking. People should learn to deal with the world as it is (or become an activist), not sit there vainly wishing the world were a different way.
