Okay, that’s enough of that….
An IT worker sued for sexual harassment after claiming her boss was sending her kisses when he marked an email where he wanted more information with ‘xx’ has been pictured.
Karina Gasparova claimed that Aleksander Goulandris’s use of question marks in the ‘xx’ message was also code for asking her ‘to engage in sexual acts’.
All I can say is that they walk among us and they get to vote. This woman is seriously disturbed. She sees everything as a sexual approach.
In May 2020, Mr Goulandris renamed a draft presentation file by adding ‘ajg’ in brackets – something Ms Gasparova interpreted as ‘A Jumbo Genital’.
This says a lot about her rather than him. AJG being his initials.
It was heard that when she invited him to lunch in September 2020, ‘to get some peace’ from him sending ‘lots of messages’, he declined her offer.
Sensible man.
Ms Gasparova told the tribunal this was because ‘lunch involved romance and he only wanted sex’.
Good grief.
The same month, when Mr Gasparova asked her when a project would be finished, she told the tribunal he burst out shouting with an ‘extremely angry voice’, saying ‘I need date, date, date’.
Ms Gasparova interpreted this as having been asked ‘the exact date when I would finally agree on sexual contact with him’.
Her claim as been rightly dismissed. It’s also cost her five grand.
I wonder what her back story is? I bet it’s hysterical, in every sense of the word.
Btw, the surnames have got confused in the text there LR
It’s the Mail…
Many years ago I went on a compulsory training course (for everyone) about sexual harassment. The point was made that it wasn’t a matter of what was intended by a comment it was how it was received that mattered. Now this was intended to avoid the ‘it was only banter’ defence – but I thought at the time that not all alleged victims were sane and balanced (or not motivated by spite) so false complaints were possible. A small proportion perhaps, but tough to disprove unless obviously disproportionate.
Having been through a spurious case brought by an employee recently, the process is such that as a small business you have to settle because going to court is incredibly expensive and uncertain (as in “the judge has a bad morning” uncertain).
Either her lawyer didn’t care aa he is being paid regardless, or he/she told her not to do it but seeing her claims, she’s just not mentally healthy and went ahead anyway.
That woman is going to live a very lonely life
She just needs a good shag.
Yep – she’s definitely suffering from ingrowing virginity and/or wistful thinking.
Either that or as nutty as squirrel shit.
She’s displayed some stunning mental gymnastics here. I get the feeling that her favourite movie is Fatal Attraction.
She works in IT – a field where precise understanding and usage of keywords is critical?
