Well, i was forced to have a 2 week unpaid vacation because i talked to HR about how to work with another employee that was never holding up their responsibilities/deadlines.

So, never talk to HR, they are not their to help you.
(although, that is what they advertise)

But, as a straight white male, sexual harassment can be done to you with little recourse. Even blatant sexism is just par for the course.

And what i really hate is that sexual harassment is most often used as a political/ladder climbing tactic, and has nothing to do with making a safe work environment.
