However this guy was a total letch. He was 50 years old and was constantly hitting on the 19 year old trainee. He would take his chair from his office, park it in her office and talk for hours despite her repeated protests that she wanted him to leave. On more than one occassion I went in and chased the guy out of her office. After exhausting all other avenues, she wrote a grievance letter to the regional head demanding something be done. Something was done. Since they couldn't fire the guy and stay within the terms of the contract, they fired the girl "for cause" because she wasn't getting her work done on time (because she was dealing with this guy hassling her). That would never happen here.
Somebody should have taken that creep around back for a tune up. Frankly i'm surprised she didn't go to the labout board and raise the issue of sexual harrassment.

Today that creep would have been fired for sexual harrassment.
