Just came across this story. An employee, who had been in his job for less than three weeks, attempted to sue his boss for sexual harassment because his (the boss’) name was Willy. Thank God the judge threw that case out otherwise I really would believe the inmates had taken over the asylum. Lucky he didn’t work with people called Fanny, Richard or Randy, that’s all I can say! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13671781/Warehouse-worker-claimed-sexually-harassed-boss-called-Willy-tribunal-hears.html

Corrupt minds, "evil in every imaginings of the heart." We are now living in a world like "in the days of Noah"...

@Fleura Now I understand. That person who wanted to sue his boss should have been fined for being so stupid.

@Fleura Thanks for the explanation. The employee is out of his mind.

He probably figured it was worth a try anyway. Lol.

He found a lawyer who convinced him perhaps?

Reminds me of the song 'The World's Gone Crazy, Matilda'. Thank goodness the case was thrown out. It should never have reached the courts in the first place really.

I find it hard to believe a lawyer could take on a case like that with a straight face. But I guess they just think of the money they will make by representing their client, regardless of the outcome!

@Fleura I can't imagine he would have fought very hard. Or would have THOUGHT he needed to fight very hard.

@fleura I resent believing this but I’m sure it’s true. A man I know in Church called Willy told people to call him Billy because children had passed sn!ggering comments to their parents about elderly ladies saying willy in Church.

I'm glad the judge threw out this ridiculous case. Have a good weekend.
