Its no suprise women arent wanted too close to the team environment... They could be too easily offended with what is said and what goes on even when not directed at them, harrasment accusations would be flying out left right and centre...
I wouldnt be suprised if this spanking statement is another overreaction but one which all guys need to be careful of in this day and age of political corectness & HR laws.. harrassment now includes a wide range things including some that are very trivial but nearly always cost your job...
Its pretty sad because alot of guys are now advised to avoid unnecessarily interacting with fellow female employees mainly to avoid any potential trivial harrasment claims being made...
Lmao, there is a difference between a few jokingly sleezy statements and punching a girl in the eye and then checking out porn and asking if she wanted a spanking.
The thing is, what Zappia is accused of doesnt seem to be the usual 'politically incorrect larikin joking about behavior'.
If everything is true the guy is just a grade A turd and deserves to be ejected.
Not sure why you are bothering to justify his actions.
I will ask you one question: How would you feel if todd greenburg belted maria in the eye?
Personally, i think many of us would be calling for him to step down also.
