Using misogynistic language in a professional work environment is not "nothing".

You probably should have also quoted this part of the article. It sounds like the accused captain himself is treating the incident seriously and is genuinely apologetic for his actions:

Quote:
“I cannot tell you how horrible I feel about my senseless and very unprofessional conduct on March 1,” reads an excerpt from the letter Hendricks wrote.

“I am sorry that I caused pain and embarrassment to the CFD family ... Please forgive me, and go forward as a very proud, professional CFD family, the one I was once a proud member of, and truly wish I could be again.”

The ex-captain also pleaded with his former co-workers to cease “internal fighting within the CFD family,” in reference to threatening calls allegedly made to the three female firefighters at the station.

Hendricks signed the long letter with “A very remorseful Chuck Hendricks,” and that apparently sincere apology earned the captain his job back.
