I'm guessing there may have been other negatives to sticking around there. In the end, it sounds as if it was the best thing.

The HR manager did most of the talking. I do remember that it was downhill from there. Within six months I was let go.

In your case, I'm glad that HR did the job they were there for AND I'm glad it didn't fly. The HR department wouldn't even touch the situation.

Jesus. I'm with you on the whole neutered aspect there. So a simple "I like your shirt…" or whatever… got you into the managers office? Jesus. I'm with you on the whole neutered aspect there.

I am a quite normal male... if a woman is attractive, I will not lie and say I am not looking. However after the issue at Harris', they are all just bodies... nothing else. In fact, I have gotten so good at this that it was not until someone mentioned it to me that I realized that a few of the ladies at work were pregnant.

I think I told you this, but when I worked at Harris' department store, YEARS ago, I complemented a fellow female employee on her appearance one morning as she came in. A couple hours later I was in the store manager's office facing a Sexual Harassment complaint. Since then I pretend that all people I work with are neuter. Completely asexual.

VERY obvious ones. HR basically told her to dress appropriately or leave. She filed a Harassment suit against the HR director stating that if he had not been "ogling" her breasts, he would have never noticed the piercings. That did not fly and she lost... both the case and her job.
