[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Apparently no one here has ever worked in advertising and everyone here has a stick up his/her ass. I agree you husband was a fool for getting stuck in the situation, but it doesn't really sound like a big deal to me based on the situation. [/quote]

Uhhh..he asked a co-worker for nudes.  LOL  Not a big deal?  LOL[/quote]

NO HE DIDNT (I'm not OP or PP).  I swear, people can't read. [/quote]

You are right....he asked a colleague if she had any nude pics of the person they were hiring! Makes it so much better and more excusable.   :roll:[/quote]

Again, I'm not OP or PP, and the comment was stupid and immature, but he was obviously joking and not asking for actual pics.  Do people really not get that?  [/quote]

I am the PP who had to deal with these on a regular basis - do YOU get that "jokes" can be the basis for a sexual harrasment claim?  It actually is not based on whether the comment was intended as a joke.  It comes down to whether that comment/joke was inappropriate (it was), whether the recipient was uncomfortable with the joke (she was) and what impact the joke had on her work environment (unclear).  Look, I do not think the guy should be fired and if I were him, I would strongly point out the context and group joking.  But he will probably get a reprimand.   [/quote]
