This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Presuming it wasn't creative fiction, document and enjoy the huge pile of money from the lawsuit.

I know this is probably fake, but, I've heard way too many horror stories about hr like this.

HR is there to protect the company from you. When you're being harassed at work, during work hours, talking to HR is basically saying "I know I can turn this into a legal thing, but I'll give you a chance to correct it before I do that".

If HR laughs at you about a complaint, your next steps are to collect evidence and hire a lawyer.

Sue the shit out of them.

Get the evidence before going to HR because there's more than a small chance they are going to laugh while escorting you out if the building.

I don't think that's legal to do, however, having the evidence before hand is a good idea regardless of the likelihood of being dismissed for making the complaint.

Evidence is always something you should have.

For sure and for me, i think the best way to think of it is if there was a department called "computer resource department." No ones is going to convince themselves that its there for the benefit of the computers, as its clearly there to get as much profitability out of them as possible.

Why would you brag to HR of all people?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Because HR exists to avoid the company getting sued, and OP could potentially sue. If this was real.

Do you even lift, bro? These pythons are sculpted pieces of art!

Had some woman full-on grab my male arse in my old job when I was bent over doing a task. My colleague (female) saw it and marched after her letting her know that wasnt acceptable. Another member of staff kept constantly going on about my bike shorts and legs and everything inbetween.. she was about 20 years older than me.

People here say this green text is fake. It may well be, but from experience it also may not.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

I mean, I think it's fake because it's a green text, but this shit definitely does happen.

Bro fuck you for that fly

I'm actually glad the company I work for not only takes sexual harassment seriously, but they actually use primarily examples of female perpetrators and male victims to emphasize the point that it can happen to anyone.

I would think this false but my ex MIL (my kids grandma) does do that to my husband (who doesn't care). I can't imagine touching anyone at work without explicit permission and probably not even then. It seems so messed up.

Not necessarily, i have a very buff friend and it happens to him all the time, especially when we go to the pub

It's really not uncommon, women can ignore your bounderies too and when they do they are usually especially overt about it because they often don't realize they are doing anything wrong. A lot of my friends are body builders and it 100% happens. Every single one of them has been touched without their consent
