It is not so much about sexuality, but understanding how to navigate sex and work together; which is its own can of works. This is where HR should be active and assisting people not only with what to do before these situations arise, but also how to handle complaints professionally (i.e. don’t make grand public social media posts without getting all the facts right, like April did). And I am certainly not suggesting sex and work cant mix, that would invalidate most relationships I have had. I am only suggesting that navigating it is tough and it should not be expected young people know how to do this.

My two cents is that Andy Signore should have been severely reprimanded for this (possibly still fired), but should not received the public shaming and additional silly accusations in the pile-on (“he once looked at me funny” style of thing). April also copped heaps of hate which I also think was broadly unfair. I am a fan of Andy Signore’s work; “Movie Fights” was hilarious and just didnt work without him.

I also should not have made my original post so gendered, same broad understanding should be applied to young men too.
