LeanIn.org and SurveyMonkey just released the results of a survey on the state of men and women interacting in the workplace in the age of #MeToo. The results are frustrating. The data reveals that 60% of male managers say they are uncomfortable performing common workplace activities such as mentoring, working one on one, or socializing with a woman. That's a 32% increase over last year.
To add insult to insult, senior-level men who were surveyed are now far more hesitant to spend time with junior female colleagues than junior male ones, across a range of basic work activities. The men were 12 times more likely to hesitate to have one-on-one meetings, nine times more likely to hesitate to travel with a junior woman for work, and six times more likely to hesitate to have a work dinner with a junior woman.

A 32% increase in one year is a dramatic social trend.

Some of this stuff sounds pretty coastal, in the midwest this stuff is pretty rare over the last couple decades (going back thru the 90s at least)
Kind of, very casually, although I'm not personally aware of any formal relationship ever occurring anywhere I've ever worked involving any two people.
WTF are you doing, any "real job" seems to be at least 50% married people etc etc.
Sure that chick from marketing is hot, but she's got a boyfriend and I've got a wife so as fun as it would be to "mentor" her after a couple drinks I don't see it happening. Like ever. Anywhere I've ever worked post Clarence Thomas era.
NOBODY likes micromanaging. Doesn't matter if they're horny couples or celibate monks?
Its called a date. Nobody would believe "work sex doesn't count as cheating" or similar such nonsense.
I think this boils down to "I don't wanna do stupid shit that's a waste of time nobody enjoys, and thank god for sexual harassment training because now I can use her being a chick as an excuse not to do stupid stuff".
