RE: Sexual Harassment and Other Abuse at the Library?
@generikat has shared with us some of her more interesting experiences. I agree sometimes a memo or regular reminders and maybe some posters can be more effective than a boring sit in presentation. But you know, some people really have no clue and have a large sense of entitlement where this kind of thing is concerned. These presentations do help. We all could use a little educating now and again. Me thinks.
We have had some problem patrons, but the focus today was primarily on employee-employee or management/employee harassment. Unless I want to complain that it's "gender stereotyping" when I am asked to help lift heavy objects (ha!) it isn't an issue at our branch.
Some people do have a disturbing lack of boundaries. No question there. And it is probably an important reminder to SOMEONE that we have a chain of responsibility when it is reported. But did that require an early-morning all-staff meeting? I don't think so.
I heartily agree ... early morning staff meeting is crue and unusual punishment. Maybe just before lunch and make sure there is cake and coffee.
