Be Shocked

I kid you not, these things came out of my boss' mouth yesterday. We were at happy hour in a relaxed/casual atmosphere, but still....

Boss: "Do you want to have more kids?"
Me: "Yes."
Boss: "Good thing you're leaving so we don't have to pay your maternity leave. You're the County's problem now!"

"Would you have sex in a trailer?"

"Isn't that chick over there hot?"

Me: "I think I might get a badge at my new job."
Boss: "Really? So you'll go around flashing your badge? Just don't flash your vag."

OMG.

OMG.

OMG!

  1. I am more upset about the maternity leave comment than the other run of the mill misogyny. I think as much as you love litigation and this firm has been great in some ways, you're well clear of it.

  2. I agree with Butterflyfish about the maternity leave comment.

    But . . . sexual harassment in the form of completely inappropriate comments is okay during happy hour, once you have left the office? I can't believe he thinks this is acceptable behavior--anywhere or anytime! Even if this is how he shows his anger that you are leaving, it is very disturbing.

    Glad you have found a new and exciting place to work! Far away from him.

  4. Not appropriate, ugh. And the maternity leave comment - can you hear me growling from over here? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Maternity leave is a short term investment in a long term employee, yet people act like it's a freaking million dollars they are beneficently bestowing on the undeserving.

  5. He sounds like a creep. Asking you where you'd have sex? Not, in my experience, something a guy asks you unless he's ASKING you.

  6. Awful and horrible? yes. Laugh out loud hilarious when you wrote that he said not to flash your vag? YES.

    What a ******canoe.
