Got in to the office today to find that one of the female staff had made a formal complaint about a male colleague...he'd apparently put his hand on her shoulder a couple of times whilst he was talking to her and she deemed it 'inappropriate!' and had brought it to management's attention. Because it's been raised officially we can't just ignore it so had to do a formal investigation/interview/reprimand etc. The poor chap was genuinely bewildered about what he was supposed to have done and worried sick about how he was being perceived. After going through the process and then informing her it had been dealt with she said I didn't realise that it meant he would have to have the issue on his file. Sheeesh...! How can anyone be so unaware about the level of political correctness and the consequences of alleging sexual harassment nowadays!!!
