Before I saw P-Gage's response, I was flipping through the channels yesterday evening and saw Joy Behar and immediately realized I had gotten it wrong about who did the interview with Nell.
P-Gage, here are the facts in the Broderick case as I see them: 1. She only experienced a little sexual harassment herself -- when she first starting working at the agency. 2. She did not think she should have to work in an environment in which her colleagues and their bosses were sleeping with each other -- and she complained about it. 3. Because she complained, she received bad performance ratings and wasn't promoted. [As an aside, believe me, I know first-hand what happens to those who complain -- or speak up -- at a federal agency when things aren't the way they should be.] >From the AP piece I linked: "Although Broderick herself was the victim of only isolated incidents of direct sexual overtures, 'conduct of a sexual nature was so pervasive...that it can reasonably be said that such conduct created a hostile or offensive work environment which affected the motivation and work performance of those who found such conduct repugnant and offensive,' [Judge] Pratt said." -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of PGage Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 9:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TV orNotTV] Re: Hostile Work Environment [Was: Well, here's the first one]. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
