> a Dear Mr. Wadden, ‘Recently I have become aware of an incident that occurred over a weekend in late ‘October on the Central Coast of California during something called a “team building” getaway for department heads. Though I have not talked to any of those involved my sources say that what occurred was a serious violation of the any organization's Sexual ‘Harassment/Hostile Work Environment Policy. As the story goes, there was also some inappropriate/unwelcomed “touching” which may border on a sexual assault. ‘Here is the story as I understand it. Everyone met at a restaurant for dinner. The main instigator wes the city manager who is named Jeff Dolan. He was very drunk and loud to the point that other customers in the restaurant were disturbed. Not to say other department heads had not over indulged and had not participated. After dinner was over, they all went back to the hotel room. Onn the drive back, Mr. Dolan was in the back seat with one of the other department heads and this is where the unwelcome “touching” took place. This person had to ask Mr. Dolan to stop. This act was witnessed by other individuals. After arriving at the hotel, Mr. Dolan continued to try to entice the person. he inappropriately touched as well as making several phone calls to rooms, pounding on walls and yelling in the hallways, The incident was so disruptive that some department heads decided to return home the next day which was a day early. ized, the city manager is the boss. Apparently, for their jobs if they say anything and one of the ‘not wanting to work with Mr. Dolan anymore. If Mr. Dolan’s behavior needs some review ‘sounds like a cover up. As a citizen and tax y of the city as well as the morale of employees. Hey, if Tam hearing of this what if the other employees hear of this. And, how are the employment policies of the city going to hold up if management doesn’t hold themselves to them. I think I have read of employee terminations and expensive lawsuit settlements under similar circumstances. I am sending a copy of this letter to you as well as those copied below with the hope that this incident to investigated or, at least, this apparent organizational behavior be corrected.
