Porn? No!

Posted on Friday, July 6, 2007 by Frank Roche

This article doesn’t include a picture. I think you get the point. In the workplace, Just Say No to Porno.

That’s the advice of attorney Mindy Chapman, who writes on her excellent Case in Point blog:

When an employee says “No” to the sexual images posted in co-workers’ workstations and to their sexually laced comments, your company better listen … and act. It can’t become caught up in a debate over “how much” porn is acceptable. As a new lawsuit shows, even if an employee initially tolerates a sexually charged workplace, she can drop the lawsuit hammer at any time.

“Don’t become drawn into the ‘How obscene is too obscene?’ debate at work,” Chapman writes in an analysis of a recent Pennsylvania case. And she offers some real common-sense “Lessons Learned.”

Here’s what I know: There are thousands of free screen savers out there. Pick one that shows nature, not naturists.
