75. That is honestly the WORST response to the Cuomo story I've heard
Sat Mar 20, 2021, 01:08 PM
Mar 2021

We should give some measure of dispensation to people of "a certain age bracket"? Seriously? What age bracket would that be? Cuomo is 63. I'm 61. I've worked with women, worked FOR women and had women work for me. I've never acted inappropriately with them or in their presence and every employer I've had would consider such behavior grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
