This is necessary, as the National Labour Conditions Survey (NEA) shows.
In 2016,6.8 percent of women in IT reported that they received regular or often sexually unwanted attention from colleagues and direct managers.

Preferably you would like to graze them by pedalling them in front of the balls, but you won't win that much.
Sexsistic mails will therefore be sent to your private email address and saved in a folder at home.

You can then use this file to drag a large amount of compensation out if the situation threatens to get out of hand and you are dismissed or made redundant from misery yourself.
Companies are dying of their image being damaged.
