People at my work have chuckled at me for years because I refuse to meet with a woman work colleague without either another person in the room, in a glass walled conference room, or with the door open.

I was burned a while ago with a false allegation. Thankfully it was pretty quickly shown to be false and the accuser was put on a PIP, then left on her own.

Don't take the chance, men. Tread lightly especially in the workplace. Not a joke.

I unofficially implemented the “Nixon rule” about 28 minutes after we started our little enterprise some 20+ yrs ago.

Right off the bat we had what I considered inappropriate (or more likely just gonna be trouble) language/ behavior with the other 20 + something YO males and the bevy of young, mostly very attractive fellow employees and conference attendees we would see and hang out with nearly every month, or more often.

Nixon rule- no one met alone, always a third party in attendance, and if on “official” property, ie Company digs or a hotel on our dime, it was gonna be recorded. Audio only back in the day, but that would most often suffice, esp back then.

All this crap has only gotten exponentially worse in this current climate of “I AM SO OoooFFENDED, YOU HELD THE DOOR OPEN FOR ME!!!! Crap.

Sooner we can get a collective slap upside the head and a Get Your **** Together! The better off we’ll all be.

Right now I look out for or anticipate some kind of lawsuit from someone every week... ridiculous, but there it is.

Sad!
