Elise Matthesen's "How to Report Sexual Harassment"

[james_davis_nicoll]

We’re geeks. We learn things and share, right? Well, this year at WisCon I learned firsthand how to report sexual harassment. In case you ever need or want to know, here’s what I learned and how it went.

It bugs me every time I go into my bank and I notice their camera system doesn't cover a big section of the room, including a window next to a stairwell. OK, the window is likely alarmed but still. I just don't know how to point it out to them and not seem odd.

Also, why did they take down the wall clock? Every time I have gone in there in the last 10 or so years, I am annoyed by the lack of clock.

It's so people don't realize how long they've been waiting in line?

More likely as some sort of management thing designed to make "happier employees" so that -they- aren't stuck clock watching. Or, it broke, and the person running the bank thought, hey, why do we need a wall-clock anyway, in this day and age, when all the terminals have time displays in the UI and people wear watches and carry all these smart phones and such. Penny saved!

Or the bank has decided that there is a hidden source of revenue to be gained by outsourcing the definition of time in the bank to an "external" body (whose board coincidentally overlaps completely with the bank's own board of directors) that sells and rates periods of "banking time" time for the purpose of billing customers by the "minute" for meetings with bank staff.
