Up the burka!
« on: Aug 16, 2018, 07:43:56 AM »

On the radio this morning I hear complaints of a sexual harassment in mixed offices are going up. The politics of offices and group work can often be volatile or spiteful(yes,not always). I am thinking of an immature young man making a seemingly silly comment about a young woman who seeks attention by dress or flirtation which excites other women and/or men. With petty jealousy,overtly sexualized dress,politcal correctness gone mad....thank G I'm not 21 again and working in such a place!
I can only think of 3 solutions to stop said envisioned disciplinary scenario from happening: don't ever be young: men,have your eyes and tounge cut or burnt out: invite multi culture management into office wherein the innocent short-skirt,tight low-cut-shirt,stilleto-heeled,lipsticked libertarian woman converts to Islam and adopts a burka.
I was 22 once. Never again! I can see myself making a silly remark and being crucified in todays world.

Offices are bigger these days and by all accounts more difficult to get any work done in them. The answer is to have smaller offices again, more noce daylight, and people in them who can actually do thr job they are administering if that is what they do.

the solutions to a lot of our problems are in our past, but wheres the money in that, no
we should hire a company to check out all the complaints, then get the builder in and position baffle walls
so the office boy cant drop an envelope and take twenty seconds to retrieve it....
as was said before, if a young lady complains about getting attention then issue her a Burqa, old Edna at the next desk
might be happy with similar attention..

Maida Vale is 90% arab so there quite probably are some islamist dress makers there.
