M. Mouse's Post; SHE WAS NO VICTIM OF ANYTHING. SHE PARTICIPATED IN ALL THE "UNACCEPTABLE WORKPLACE ACTIVITY" AND LOVED IT

I know someone who made an alertline call about this last year and she was told that activity that is socially acceptable may not be acceptable in the workplace. Please, what activity was not acceptable? Was it giving a flower or was it accepting a flower? Was it offering a lunch invitation or was it accepting a lunch invitation? Is is contributing a stuffed bear to the collection or is it accepting a stuffed bear for the collection? Rose didn't tell about the last, but she didn't need to because several of us saw it and how pleased she was. She didn't report it because it would not have helped her scheme. Bob probably never mentioned it because he probably tried to say the minimum to defend himself, but I know when and where and why he got the bear. I know because it was all right to talk then. Ask Rose directly, or maybe ask bob directly, but he will probably say that he can't talk. I do know that she sent him a thank you Email that HR should know about. I'll bet she did not mention that.

For anyone to be disciplined at all for that relationship is very bad business, but to apply disciplinary action unequally is discrimination. She helped out in all the "unacceptable workplace activity" and loved it. She was no victim of anything, but he sure was, and it is bad if the company does not see it that way and worse if the company does but does not care.
