"I'll be the judge of that!" This episode covers the tale of two harassment allegations in the same industry, where one employer did everything right and the other did everything wrong. The first case discussed is that of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, where the employer handled the harassment allegations transparently and terminated the employment of the accused deputy for violating the office's policy prohibiting sexual harassment and discrimination. Wait until you hear the accused’s excuse! The second case also involves law enforcement including a groping and wait until you hear his excuse! That employer did everything wrong. She also highlights the role of bystanders in addressing bad behavior and emphasizes the need for a safe and supportive workplace culture to prevent such incidents.
