[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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, [b]but he was obviously joking and not asking for actual pics.  Do people really not get that? [/b] [/quote]

I am not at all surprised that the woman didnt say anything directly to him (referring to OPs comment), and just because it's a joke doesn't mean its OK to say.

When I was young and new to the office environment, I was filing in a file cabinet that was very low to the ground.   A much older, more senior male colleague "joked" about me being "on my knees, where a woman belongs". I half laughed at his comment because I was 20 and it took me totally by surprise, but I did go directly to HR and his supervisor.  It made me so uncomfortable and was incredibly inappropriate. I actually have no idea what happened to him or what the consequences were, but the company took it very seriously as a sexual harassment case, even if he was "clearly joking and not asking me to actually give him a blow job".[/quote]

not even close to the same thing.  what you are describing is clearly harassment.  what OP's husband did is not.[/quote]

Bullpuckeys. Op's husband made an inappropriate sexual comment, and should  be held accountable. [/quote]
