Dear Amy: I have been working off and on as a freelance consultant for a nonprofit organization.
I’ll be back next week. Today’s “Best of” topic from 10 years ago concerns workplace sexual harassment.I work from a home office and take occasional meetings with employees of the nonprofit. I also meet with clients.
At the end of the luncheon, as we were saying goodbye on the curb outside the restaurant, I reached my hand out to shake his.I was so shocked that I said a weak goodbye and left him standing there. Amy, I would appreciate your perspective on this situation. I wonder if he has a problem that should be reported to the board of trustees.Addressing the question of whether you are making too much of this: Do your other colleagues and clients kiss you on the lips after a business meeting? Does this director kiss male colleagues and consultants on the lips after a meeting?People who are subjected to unwanted sexual contact often wonder if they are overreacting.
If the board handles this well, expect to revive your business relationship and work with the organization in the future. – December 2012Your answer to “Kissed Consultant” was way off the mark. This consultant was kissed by a new director of the nonprofit she was consulting for, and you want her to notify the board of directors?– AppalledThis man should already know better than to pull a business associate close and kiss her full on the lips after their first meeting.
