Kate Turlington + 44 KT December 18, 2017 With the "fall of Men" going on over sexual harassment in nearly every segment of industry, policy, entertainment, etc. does anyone know if it's trickled into oil and gas industry? Not a huge industry for women, so I suspect less reverberation, but would be interesting to know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV December 18, 2017 Sexual harassment can't evade oil industry too. A Denver oil tycoon Jack Grynberg is fending off allegations for sexual harassment. Three women had to sleep with him if they wanted to keep their jobs in Grynberg Petroleum Co. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was that backed by evidence? If it wasn't, then it's only allegations. Sorry for being nit-picky but in this environment when allegations are passed as facts I think it's important to note the distinction, regardless of the issue/crime.

Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK December 18, 2017 The court find that Grynberg took advantage of one of these women by providing her and her 5 children a place to live without rent payments and firing her after that. Maybe it's still just an allegation which hasn't been proven yet, but it's pretty suspicious to me that all women were fired and this free-rent thing.

Selva + 252 SP December 18, 2017 The problem is that in this cases there's usually the inability to prosecute because of the statute of limitations. The law often protects the attackers instead of the victim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel + 384 PP December 18, 2017 But we must not forget that sometimes the victim is not really a victim but someone who wants to get some benefits from the wealthy guy. No one is guilty until the court says so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV December 19, 2017 Another case of sexual harassment includes Shell Oil. A former employee in the East Bay was suing this company in July for sex-based harassment, sex discrimination and failure to take steps to prevent discrimination and harassment.

Petar + 76 PP December 19, 2017 Sexual harassment take place in all bigger corporate settings. Don't see a reason why the oil industry would be different. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP December 19, 2017 A fish rots from the head down. Every corporate should have a department for protecting their workers from sexual harassment and other forms of bad behavior, but most of them don't have it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kate Turlington + 44 KT December 19, 2017 I think everyone's safe under the mistletoe. Basically it's an age-old problem on both sides. Men need to stop acting like their entitled, and women need to stop letting themselves be victims--it's weak and unworthy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV December 19, 2017 According to CNBC Survey, about one-fifth o American adults have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace, 10 percent among men and 27 percent among women. The result of this survey shows that older women between 50-64 were victims more often than younger women between 18-34. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
