This is not surprising. We are in a hyper-sensitive society now where many people are accused and lose their entire career and possibly marriage through the court of public opinion.

As a result, it would be smart of most men in these positions to either not mentor at all or always have someone else in the room. I wouldn't be surprised if companies started having everything recorded at some point.

The real problem is that false accusers won't face many repercussions compared to the accused. Some men accused are even found to have done nothing and it doesn't matter. People still believe they did something.

More and more I’m seeing managers have their 1:1s in public areas, such as cafeterias or outdoor seating.

Where everyone has their noise cancelling headphones on. Sure, it stops the vast majority of physical possibilities, but doesn't do much for verbal.
