She got a call in her hotel room, waking her at 2 am.<\/p>\n<p>It was another employee on the trip. A guy. Not her boss, but someone with more power than she has. He asked why she was up there in the room instead of coming down to party in the hotel bar with him and the others. She said she needed sleep and hung up.<\/p>\n<p>After relating the tale of woe, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/2009\/08\/06\/sexual-harassment-office-forbes-woman-leadership-affairs.html?partner=earthlink\">this Forbes article<\/a> says:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Welcome to the new sexual harassment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A. The guy neither said nor implied anything sexual or even inappropriate. It was just really late at night.<br \/>\nB. He was with other co-workers in a bar. Not alone, not in a room.<br \/>\nC. He didn&#8217;t call back. There&#8217;s no mention of any repercussions from her skipping the party.<\/p>\n<p>I understand how this was inappropriate and annoying. But can someone out there explain how it&#8217;s sexual harassment? Even NEW sexual harassment should have hint of either something sexual or something harassing, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-law"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeklyrob.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeklyrob.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeklyrob.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeklyrob.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeklyrob.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/weeklyrob.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeklyrob.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeklyrob.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeklyrob.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
