I'm on the truth bandwagon. Screaming SJW is no more credible than screaming GUILTY. The news articles had claims and denials. Those are not all that useful in discerning the truth. It doesn't have all the facts but one of the facts is that they resigned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ridiculous that it's that way. I hate how people who weren't there act like they know what happened. It's also ridiculous how usually only men get in trouble and fired for this stuff. I've personally been around several occassions in the past year alone where it was actually women who were sexually harrassing / assaulting men. If the men were to complain about it though they'd be "pansies" etc. Women get enjoyment out of destroying men's lives on the other hand.

The same place as it was in the 80's , just no cases of OV splits any more. They still have 2 of them sitting behind the bar so when old farts like me roll in there, which is A LOT..they can show them for old times sake. 20 hours ago, Augie said: Well, the moral of the story, and it comes in handy in all of life, is.............DON’T BE A JERK! the real moral is just be a sales knucklehead like me and have no influence over anyone else' career...then you can be as jerky as ya want!!!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPeg has a keen eye.

I wonder how much of it is really ‘the drunker I get, the better looking I get’. After a late night office holiday party, the prudent executive calls a limo service and goes home. Not on a pub crawl as if they were in university. Actually, I would go so far as to say a prudent exec doesn't drink at all with their employees, maybe one or two at the most so they don't seem like pretentious jerks, but that's all.

Back in my early years of banking there was A LOT of drinking. We’d gather at conferences or after quarterly meetings and things often got silly, like breaking stuff at hotel bars. The highest ranking person there would tell #2 “you pay and I’ll sign off on your expense report”. That eventually had to change. If the top dog there didn’t pay (so it was approved by someone not in attendance), heads just might roll. For a week every year we had a hospitality house when the Heritage Golf tournament was in town. We’d bring clients in from around the state and put them up. If I had a half of a beer, I would NEVER step inside a branch. I wouldn’t create an opportunity where someone could say they saw me drinking, then I made any kind of decision. It doesn’t just have to BE right, it also has to LOOk right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sense a bit of guilt by association in one case here, based on the original story, but we'll never get the full details. Either way though, yes, codes of conduct are what they are and I'm willing to accept that it was warranted in both cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
