The flies add up. There's not a harassment noise floor beneath which we should ask the harassed to just shrug off harassment by their coworkers.

There's not a harassment noise floor beneath which we should ask the harassed to just shrug off harassment by their coworkers.

I'm not gonna argue what side this is on, just that there is there is a floor. They're called "haters." Conventional wisdom is to shake it off. (Just think about the time spent getting down and out. You could have been getting down to sick beats.)

Different people will have different opinions on if this is above the floor and actions should to be taken in response. People are going to to disagree about when actions cross boundaries, so simply labeling actions as harassment doesn't cut it to make everybody agree with your view that it has crossed boundaries.

Upvoting partly for partial agreement, but mostly for the taylor swift quoting
