A lot of people seem to believe asking employees about their underwear or suggesting they bear your children is normal workplace behavior.”””
I started working full time at age 17 & am now 78, and still have 2 bookkeeping clients.
I NEVER have been asked any questions or heard ANY statements like the ones being told about in this time of my life. I know I am not that attractive at age 78, and I wasn’t a Playboy Bunny when I was younger-—but I was average & I always dressed appropriately for the job I had. I wore dresses/skirts/high heels when I was in offices & I wore jeans & sweatshirts when I was selling auto parts.
Maybe it is because I never worked for anyone who was a POLITICIAN ???
That could be it.
I never had any of this stuff happen when I was employed, either ... but I've been a stay-at-home mother for over 20 years now. I've never had anyone act inappropriately in my volunteer work, either.
