You are aware that sexual harassment can be based on "hostile environment", meaning looking at them in a way that makes them"uncomfortable" in the workplace - doesn't apparently matter that there is something unusual going on to look at ... Seriously, I'm pretty sure you could trump up a sexual harassment claim, and a support it with an, "oh, look, so-and-so co-worker tried to see her socially outside of work (forget to mention in the complaint it was after she was terminated). That place was teeming with come-on's and inappropriate behavior". That's why in a very catch-22 world, it's maybe better to have a "co-worker to co-worker" lunch, size up the situation a little better, etc. rather than to bust into a candlelit dinner and such.Gregrios wrote:Unfortunately this guy don't seem to have that kind of self-restraint.hecter wrote:I honestly think that you should take her out to lunch for her last day of work, and keep it in your pants until the day after she's fired.

And beyond that, suppose it was neither a come-on or entrapment. Suppose she was just uncomfortable a took off her bra for a few minutes. Maybe there was a draft. Did any of you horn dogs think of that??

Ummmm... I was talking about HER hardware... not mine! Maybe I should have said software. You know, the stuff that's visibly defined through the shirt when a woman goes around with no brassier. Get the picture. They were practically pushing the blouse an inch off her chest. Christ man... I was to busy wondering what the hell she thought she was doing and thinking about how to not get sued to get an erection...Gregrios wrote:You're the one that said you got hard.gdeangel wrote:You are aware that sexual harassment can be based on "hostile environment", meaning looking at them in a way that makes them"uncomfortable" in the workplace - doesn't apparently matter that there is something unusual going on to look at ...

No, I'm not particularly paranoid. I just happen to be in an area where unemployment is very high and economic outlook particularly dim. Money first, pussy second.Gregrios wrote:Ok. I get it now.
On a serious note, you're the only one here that knows what kind of person she is so good luck with that. I only gave you my opinion as someone who has no idea who you're talking about. The fact that you were thinking about a possible lawsuit is the reason why I tell you to take caution. I was just going with your line of thinking that is unless you're just an overly paranoid person.

I would be willing to bet that she has no sinister intentions but incase she does, why not wait until the next day after she's fired.gdeangel wrote:No, I'm not particularly paranoid.

That's too passive for my taste. If we're being subtle, I would have intentionally given her some wrong information, and then called her to correct your mistake and use that as an ice breaker.gdeangel wrote:Conclusion of the story: So instead I offered to serve as a reference if she ever needed one... thought this would be a good way to stay in touch.

If you're interested, call her. Ask her how she's coping without wages. I dunno, offer to babysit her cat while she gets a job interview.gdeangel wrote:Conclusion of the story: So instead I offered to serve as a reference if she ever needed one... thought this would be a good way to stay in touch.

You are now past the point at which any apparent interest from her can be imagined as a lead-up to a sexual harrasment case.
I do have to add though, that a reasonable person can usually tell if a potential mate (temp or perm) is interested. I have never had to stop in the middle of a "maybe we'll do it" scenario to wonder if I was being set up for a court case.
But as this is a forum where unlikely dilemmas are aired, watch out for a doozy from my past when I get a spare few minutes to put the details in order.
