They fired someone at my office this week. A female CNA. The story is that they fired her because she sent a text message to another female CNA, saying something along the lines of :
"I think you are so hot I could just eat you up."
Ok, so clearly this is sexual harassment. It's inappropriate. Action definitely needed to be taken, and it was. However, my question is this. Did they fire this employee because of the sexual harassment, or because she is a lesbian?
The subcontracted social worker in our office physically put his hands on me, and rubbed his body against mine in a blatantly sexual manner (and I am not the only person he's done this to). He has made sexist, sexual comments about women in the office on several occasions. I complained about him three different times, and nothing was done about it until I complained a fourth time. At which point HR supposedly 'talked' to him about his behavior. What's more, this apparently had no effect, because within two days, he made a very clear attempt to intimidate me.
And now a female, who happens to be a lesbian, is fired immediately over one text message. No investigation was done regarding her claims that the situation was not one-sided. Is it just me, or is there something off balance here? Why is a Hispanic lesbian fired over one text message and a middle aged white man only gets 'talked to', despite the fact he is a repeat offender?
