This (bolded) is often the problem. Abusers are often protected by the company and believe they are untouchable.
And just as many times it's willing participation between all staff across the board. It's starting to look like everyone in that office was all good with the hanky panky and grabassin.
You really think people are stupid don't you. If there were anyone in that office who didn't want to mess around with Lauer they could have just said no and walked out....PERIOD! I've been in so many situations like that and I said NO! Now if I was the type that wanted to star in a movie like that muppet head Cory Feltman, I would have just said yeah go ahead whatever it takes. I'll even bet Feldman was telling all his best friends back in the day: "Dude.....just let that old man do whatever he wants and you'll be in the movies......just like me!".
Get real! People can just say no. What? Lauer would have killed them if they didn't go along with it? He'd a buried them in the station basement if they didn't go along with it? Get real!
And what do you know, there is video footage out of sex toy talk in which everyone involved is joking around about. It's in regards to a female finding a huge bag of sex toys in Lauer's office. Yeah, remember that company culture thing I was talking about earlier? This is starting to shape up to where a whole lot of sex stuff was going on in that studio and everyone was in on it. Now all of a sudden it's now a bad thing that was going on.
Dirty jokes and laughing at dildos is joking - touching women, making personal remarks about their bodies and exposing oneself and locking the door is something else. Stop pretending they are the same.
Many of us over forty have worked in places where locker room talk and joking was normal. We used to bring in Playgirl mags and show them around. If anyone had groped or harassed or threatened any women there it would not have been tolerated.
it is a very dangerous situation if you work with and around women
it's not even safe to complement a woman
the other thing is if you are shooting the **** with your buddies, be careful because if you are having any "raunchy" type conversation and they walk by and hear something "off color" that is sexual harassment
Then don't do that! It's not that complicated...be PROFESSIONAL!

And grounds for disciplinary action including termination.
Dirty jokes and dildos has absolutely no place in the workplace, unless you work in an efing truck stop or something. Get real ok. And bringing smut into the workplace is ok but remarking about someone's body is not? Get real. Don't you know how ignorant that is?
I think we need a thread for just this subject as it seems the names of the accused just keeps growing on what seems to be a daily basis!
What would be interesting to see is someone who knows they sexually abused others come forward and apologize before being accused. That would show true remorse. Not getting your hand caught in the cookie jar and then having it slapped and then say, I'm sorry.
In all of these accusations I often wonder why there was no criminal charges at the time of the alleged offense.
On the morning news, (gossip), shows there were a lot of woman beating the war drums and praising their actions. How is that there have been attacks on a variety of men in various fields all while the president, an admitted offender, is allowed to run the country?
Let's not forget Trump's words for all America to hear, "...grab them by the the *****."
Ladies, unless you go after Trump you have accomplished nothing.
"I often wonder why there was no criminal charges at the time of the alleged offense."
Usually in dealing with a political (or business) official, the offender has the political clout to go after the accused, as Bill Clinton's war room went after Bill's accusers.

Not at all. The nude magazine pics were generic models, it targets no individual at the workplace. The sex toys are generic, until Matt locks you in his office with his remote lock switch and tells you to use them on him. General dirty jokes hurt no one. Some work places do/or did have a loose culture with that stuff.
When did people become so prudish, especially since half of them go home and watch fetish internet porn that shouldn't even be legal and hook up with strangers on Tinder.
