Upvoted for reading my post and responding with actual points cited.

If my post came across as condoning harassment, it certainly wasn't my intent . But the instances I'm talking about are not true harassment in any sense.

One guy I personally had to fire did nothing more than reach around another employee to grab their mouse while teaching them something they asked about. He even asked as he reached for the mouse if it was okay. A week later, he was fired for it due to an HR report. The same week she was making sexual jokes to other co-workers and HR branded her "untouchable" for the foreseeable future.

A person I saw written up made a joke about his wife being his dishwasher. Sorry, but if that makes you want someone fired, you need to come back to the real world.

These are instances I'm speaking of.

There are situations in which nobody should feel as though they shouldn't speak up, and there are petty instances where a joke gets someone canned for something that they shouldn't.
