Inappropriate Behavior in the Workplace

**Let me preface this with the word porn will be used in this post, but no porn will actually be shown**

I work in a pretty conservative office. It is predominately women. We have two men in the office. And it is an accounting firm...nuff said on the conservative nature of my office. You get the picture.

Today Ms. L came over to me and said "You've got to go see what is on the printer. Mr. J printed porn out. I can't believe it."

So I immediately walk to the PUBLIC printer and pull off what is on top. Sure enough a naked woman is staring at me in all her double DD glory. I really couldn't believe it. This was the work place. What the hell was he thinking.

Anyways, I tattled as did Ms. L.

Did Mr. J really think he could get away with this? It was like he was asking to get caught just to see what would happen. Why would you print to a public printer. And why wasn't he wasn't standing next to the printer to grab it/her.

Well he knew he was caught before the boss said anything to him. He approached her with it and promptly left the building saying he was embarrassed. Hell yeah you better be embarrassed!!! You were looking at porn at work. What were you thinkin'!?!

I'm curious to see if he apologizes to the two of us for scalding our eyes with that horrible picture.

Porn has it's place just not in our workplace.

How stupid can someone be to print porn on a public printer?

I bet the offender is kicking himself for being so stupid. Did he get suspended or fired or fined or anything?

I know a friend of mine who is getting harrassed at work and she won't say anything because she is afraid it will get ugly and she doesn't want to put her family through that. It seems like the victims are always put through character assisination wringer while the offender just sits there looking like a victim.

Well, the gentleman in question has not returned to work. The owner didn't fire him, but threatened to. He wasn't a stellar employee to begin with. Nobody is really upset over him not returning. The office is definely quieter without him around.
