As for the Trudeau thing, if you're a woman in politics it's far more likely people will talk about your looks than your policies.

As I had said in my previous post, I am not referring to the serious and scandalous things that involve multiple victims and claims of sexual harassment.
I am referring to what is likely going on in a lot of workplace's in North America right now with regards to what is being said in the news. Ask yourself an honest question, if you were a manager or a business owner and you had a claim from an employee about being offended or subjected to some level of harassment and your investigation came up that it probably might not really warrant any discipline or that the event may not have happened as it was detailed initially etc. Would you go to bat for the employee who had the complaint filed against them? Would you consider yourself an expert in this field? Would you really take the risk that this employee may cause further issues in the future? I suspect you would do exactly what the vast majority of people do and that is follow the letter of the law with regards to compensation in severance and than send that employee packing cause at the end of the day, who need's the headache right?
