QUIZ: Warning signs

He was married for 10 years and has been divorced for about 2. His ex still gives him a hard time, but he says that he has moved on. He has custody of one child and she the other.

“If only there was a guide like this when I first entered the workplace – filled with real world anecdotes and examples from leading professionals, and broken up with quizzes and visuals – I would’ve made far fewer missteps along the way.

I had a colleague at my previous workplace who wore suggestive clothes all the time. A guy could get to scoring home runs with his hands in less than a tenth of a second. Can you imagine how short her skirts were? And each time she used to buckle her knees to pick something off the ground or for whatever reason, all the guys at work used to bend low conspicuously to get a better glimpse. And it was a laugh! One day, she caught a guy staring up at her and she actually started yelling at him for being a pervert, and for not respecting her.

She made a big deal out of her little clothing, which I thought was just mental. She did wear clothes that did more than attract attention, so why would she make such a big fuss about something that skimpy? They were respectable, fun loving guys with eccentric sense of humors who were trying to be funny. Do you really need to reveal so much?

When I spoke to her later that day about the incident, and mentioned the fact that she did wear clothes that were way outside the border of office professionalism, she seemed shocked. Other than the fact that somehow, all the parts that she revealed had extremely close proximity to her butt and boobs.
