An Albuquerque automobile dealership is agreeing to pay $2 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that dozens of male employees were subjected to same-sex sexual harassment and retaliation.

A consent decree filed Thursday in federal court settles a 2011 suit filed by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against Pitre (PEE'-tree) Inc., which does business as Pitre Buick.

The suit alleged that managers subjected employees to sexual harassment that included solicitations for sex and grabbing. It also alleged that Pitre retaliated against workers who objected.

It’s a lot worse. In civilian life you don’t have to bunk with your co-workers like in the military. The pole smokers and carpet munchers are bolder now but they still get their asses handed to them if they pick on the wrong soldier/sailor/airman/marine.

Oh yes I know. I had one grab my butt. She told me I was hot. She never did it again. Multiple other stories of drunken she males trying to climb into my rack in the middle of the night. It wasn’t called the dyke division for nothing.
