Kind yet naïve, those types of qualities can get you in real trouble with the wrong people. In my ventures in life I could tell you a thing or two about sexual harassment. What people will do for a quick thrill? What they'll do for jealousy. It's a hard issue to deal with in today's fast paced world. Usually, the one's who have gotten away with it will continue to do it and be caught. In the skills that are needed to do this indecent activity, there are common skills that are learned such as lying, turning a conversation around and living a double standard. Being caught doesn't change anything. At that point it is so ingrained in a person's nature that it will continue without second thought. I would like to take this time to warn all the people involved that things will not change. They will only change when all hope of a person's ability to live up to this double-life can go on any longer. And then sometimes...
The work environment is a dangerous place for this intoxicating cocktail of cocktails. Definitely not for the weak of heart, a good time can be had by everyone, but at a certain point it all changes and not for the good either. This situation can happen in any environment, work-related of otherwise. In the workplace it can be especially devastating. Not only to the people involved, but the moral of a company's employees. It’s a complicated web we weave to rely on the good words of another. This can only be defined in the words of our beloved Wikipedia as being "a range of behavior from seemingly mild transgressions and annoyances to actual sexual abuse or sexual assault," such few words with many rippling waves of meaning by any means.
