My favorite story of the day http://www.foxnews.com/politic...omotion-for-sex.html An Agriculture Department employee reportedly stunned an audience of co-workers at a Black History Month event last week by taking the stage and publicly naming a supervisor she claims offered her a promotion in exchange for sex. The Washington Post reported that Rosetta Davis named the supervisor and gave an emotional account of their interactions – before she was led backstage, shouting. The USDA reportedly then put her on administrative leave and told her not to use agency facilities or contact USDA workers to discuss her employment. Davis already had filed a lawsuit in federal court detailing her claims, before revealing her story to an audience of peers. “I agreed to the sex,” she explained to The Post in a separate interview. Davis claims she and the supervisor had a relationship for eight months, but she ended it after the supervisor sought an act “she considered unnatural,” according to The Post. The lawsuit reportedly alleges she then became the target of sexual harassment and “brutal retaliation” – and never got that promotion. While the case has been in the courts for months, her surprise announcement at the agency event brought it out into the open, amid a climate where women across government and the private sector are speaking out on sexual harassment. One employee in attendance told the Post the audience was “shellshocked.” Asked for comment, a USDA spokesperson told Fox News in a statement that while the employee is on paid leave "pending a review" of last week's incident, she was not suspended. "Beyond that, we cannot comment on personnel issues or issues that are currently the subject of litigation. However, as a matter of departmental policy, USDA takes all claims of harassment very seriously. Our goal is to treat people fairly with a process that is transparent, objective and consistent," the official said. | ||

Umm, you lost all rights to complain if you "accepted" his terms. Especially, when you DATED for 8 months. WTF? SIG556 Classic P220 Carry SAS Gen 2 SAO SP2022 9mm German Triple Serial P938 SAS P365 FDE Psalm 118:24 "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" | |||

Having a relationship between superior and subordinate in the workplace is still frowned upon. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

So I guess if she had gotten her promotion she would not have raised this shit storm? They have a name for women like that.

Yes, don't I know. What saved my ass during the administrative hearing after she filed sexual harassment charges against me, was my saving all the notes and love letters she sent me. Presented them at the hearing. I got a written counseling into my files. She got a mandatory transfer to another institution, and a divorce from her husband soon afterward. Last I heard, Bitch was banging her new bosses. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

Well, no. Once he made it a condition of promotion, her consent isn't really relevant. Maybe it would help defend a hostile work environment claim, but not a quid pro quo claim.

You seem to be taking her claims at face value. I think this “victim” lost legitimacy by agreeing to the transaction. | |||

Exactly. This "victim" would not have said a word, had she gotten her promotion, until later, when she felt that she was "due" another promotion. She played his game and lost. Now she's taking her ball and going home! jhe888, by not calling her out on her bullshit, people are saying that she's a victim, but she's not....she's just another skank slut that was willing to part her legs for the promise of some money! Do you want to know why a lot of guys out there no longer want to work with women....that is it. They are absolutely complicit in their doings, yet accept none of the responsibility. ___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

I worked for a Captain who would not counsel a female officer unless there was a Lieutenant and a union rep in the same room. EVERYTHING said was written and kept in a file....in case she had another version of the event He claimed it saved his ass more than once. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||
