Kotaku: A Woman Is Suing MrBeast’s Company For Alleged Sexual Harassment And Verbal Abuse. “A woman who previously worked at Beast Industries, the company behind MrBeast’s popular YouTube channel, has filed a lawsuit against the YouTuber’s company claiming she was sexually harassed, verbally abused, and fired after returning from maternity leave. The company says it has extensive evidence […]

I'm still debating reporting through other channels... I don't want to make the victim be a victim defined by this situation.
I wanted to ask her whether she wants help / a witness reporting it, but couldn't yet find a good situation to do it.

Advice welcome, especially from female #astrodon.

It's a problem.

Ugh, it's exhausting to address senior colleagues #misbehavior.

I'll report back after the poll is over with how I reacted to the hallway situation so far...

If you decide to not let it rest, you can
a) report it, which will get other people getting involved, maybe reprimanding the person. The person may deny it happened, say it was a joke. The victim may not want to make a fuzz.
b) you talk to the perpetrator directly. They may feel attacked, try to isolate you, and why are you making a fuzz, and not hear you.
c) you talk with senior colleagues, creating rumors

You see a male colleague put their arm around a female colleague, then grab their ass. They say "hey!" in a disapproving tone. Then they keep chatting.

You think this unprofessional and ask another colleague for the names of the people by description to bring it up. This makes you 80% certain you have the male colleague's name. Do you pursue this further? #poll #office #professionalbehaviour #sexism #sexualharassment #astrodon #WorkplaceHarassment #workplacenorms

I'm interested in #TechForGood

I helped build a #chatbot for reporting #WorkplaceHarassment

I work with the #CitizenForensic research group where we scoped existing policing apps to see how future policing app hosts could build an app that is trustworthy and fit-for-purpose, and built an online #GratitudeTree https://gratitude-tree.org

I am interested in digital bystander intervention

While doing a PhD/PostDoc I worked for a company where we built a chatbot to help people document & report workplace harassment

I became interested in why witnesses don't report & what can be done to encourage & support them
