Corporate America or Frat House

An alert reader sent QD this article from the March 3, 2006 on-line edition of the NY Post.
It is entitled "Frat House Jerks" and describes the harassment suit that is being brought against copier sales managers at Ricoh.

Why does Queenie's Daughter bring this to your attention?

Because it is just another indication that we haven't come that far, we get called way worse than "baby" and Human Resources is no where to be seen.

Remember: The good folks at Human Resources are there to protect the company and not the employees. So if, as this woman at Ricoh claims (and as her male coworker corroborates), you are subject to Frat House jokes about sexual conquest and strip clubbing during working hours, if you are called dirty words and made to feel like trash - know this - you have two choices…

Quit or Shut Up. But don't go crying to Human Resources because, while your manager may talk about screwing you - HUMAN RESOURCES WILL REALLY DO IT.

Think about that when you decide if you will let your employer slip some microchip under your skin!!!

Score Card:
Them screwing us: Infinity
Us able to use the rule of law to seek justice: Dwindling
