My workplace rebuilt its HR department and put into place a no-nonsense approach to handling sexual harassment. Every single one of the four men have been put on administrative leave for sexual misconduct. Two quit and one is threatening to sue. I don't know if I should be happy or sad.

Threatening to sue because he got caught? That's cute.

Where I work, a creepy dude has been allowed to get away with his creepy behavior for 10 years. Then they transferred him to another building (my building, YAY!) and punished his (female) manager for ignoring the most recent complaint.

She was certainly a shitty manager, but the only reason the higher-ups cared this time was that the woman who lodged the most recent complaint has sued our company. Up until then they were just as happy to ignore the asshole.

Nothing's important to a company until it starts losing money.

I would suggest happy. Guys like that need to be culled from the work force, and the sooner it starts the sooner it'll normalize. The sooner it normalizes, the sooner what they were doing will be abnormal. The sooner it's abnormal, the better it'll be for everyone.

Everyone except them. But to hell with them. They made their choices, they can deal with the aftermath.

Four men in the company total? Or four men who’ve been a problem that is finally being addressed?

It's a small office with 32 people (including the four men on leave under investigation).

i wish i could say i was surprised by this kind of thing. unfortunately my experience is men don't want to reflect on their fucked up habits. i had one dude go on a 5 minute rant about why everyone should have anal sex, during a group lunch, because we mentioned briefly that my state's high birthrate is caused by religious beliefs and abstinence only sex-ed. unfortunately my HR sucks and they just gave him a "warning".

You can be happy and sad at the same time tho, so why not both?
