Two AutoNation Employees Fired for Refusing to go to Strip Club
Student Files Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Against Professor and Prominent Artist
Chinese Student Faces Deportation for Sexual Harassment Charge
Two employees for one of the country's
largest auto retailers have filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against their
employer. The men allege they were fired for refusing to go to strip clubs and
bordellos with their co-workers.
The two men contacted a sexual harassment lawyer to seek damages for harassment, retaliation and wrongful
termination.
The lawsuit filed by Joshua McCarty and Kevin Petrie stated
that management at AutoNation would force them to go to strip clubs and
brothels insisting they participate in sex acts. The management is also accused
of fostering an environment that encouraged excessive drinking and drug use at
company sponsored functions.
When McCarty refused to participate in the sex acts and
instead wanted to focus on work he was subjected to ridicule. He was also left
out of important meetings, shorted on his pay, given retaliatory performance
reviews, denied promotions and eventually he was fired.
Petrie was called derogatory names like “faggot†and
“homo.†McCarty was harassed when he
defended Petrie against verbal attacks from co-workers.
Although women are the majority of people who hire sexual harassment attorneys, this case
shows that men are also subjected to a hostile working environment and
ridicule.
Sexual harassment lawyers are too familiar with how prevalent this behavior is
in the workplace and work to out an end to this plague.

I was thinking what do you want me do? Sex acts in the strip club? I thought that was illegal in most states but if the club allows it and no one films it. hmmm... Probably just a lap dance with a pretty girl and someone exagerates and calls it a sex act. Lol, what a joke. Some guys go into clubs wanting sex acts and can't get them even if they're willing to pay thousands of dollars. In return for getting lap dances (paid by the company) I would want my boss to pay cover charges, beer, lap dances(of course), and maybe order some pizza and pay for it too. Then I would be happy to be the life of the party.
Of course if the company is paying and is happy with my performance, I would be willing to entertain customers several days a week especially if we went during regular business hours. I'd even be willing to get a lot of lap dances if it entertains them and the company is paying all expenses. Sounds like a tough job but I could be a pro. :) I would prefer that the company provides transportation if they provide enough beer.

As an added perk, if the company is paying for all lap dances on a consistent basis, I could develop relationships with a number of the dancers and let everyone know whether or not they were going to be there with a high level of confidence. Just give me several thousand a week on top of my regular pay. :) Dream job?
I guess if the club had 9 and 10's and was high contact. If not I wouldn't want to go more than 3 days in a row.

The two guys filing the lawsuit sound like they did not fit in well with the other employees. Me? I give people stories that they remember for years. Fortunately most people where I work at don't know too much about me. I don't like being reminded about something that happened years ago. It's like so many people have boring lives so anything out of the ordinary is something they remember forever.
