So how do you define harrassment from general work banter we're all supposed to adults in the work place it's got so bad now with the PC brigade now that most people can't define where the line is drawn so everything is banned.
I have worked in my office for over 20 years and we are no longer allowed ofice parties at Xmas because the orginisation is scared of getting sued if someone gets drunk and falls over.Office romances are a sackable offence..nights out are frowned upon as employment law considers them to be an extention of the workplace and if anything happens again the employer is worried about litigation.
It's all complete bullshit.
