MISDIRECTED TEXT SHOWS SEXUAL HARASSMENT

A Twitter poster who calls herself “Sarah the Great” posted a series of tweets yesterday. Sarah is an automotive import/export lawyer in Las Vegas. She received a text message from her boss, the head of her law firm, Monday morning at 6:35. Here is the original tweet:

– “I just received a text from my boss about how he ‘hopes Sarah has her [breasts] out’ and ‘one day I’m just gonna have to [have sex with] her’ that he meant to send to another co-worker. Being a woman is so much fun…”

Sarah followed this up with a series of tweets throughout the day:
– “Update: He has realized he sent it to the wrong person and has tried to call four times. The law firm I work for is his law firm. His wife is also a partner. Today at work is going to be fun.”
– “Update: the two other partners (including the intended recipient) have called me and left messages “urging me to talk to them before making a mistake”… They left that recorded. It’s like they forgot how to lawyer.”
– “I contacted outside council to make sure I do things right. Have not answered any of them yet. Not letting this go. There is no HR, just five lawyers and a receptionist. I’m the only woman working there.”
– “My meeting with attorney went great. Meeting with second attorney at lunch. Heading to my office now to clean out the things in my desk. Entire office knows. His wife knows and is ‘on her way back to town to deal with this’ whatever that means and the idiot that sent it went home.”
– “I have no intentions of gaining financially from this. I work for my money. The goal, if achieved, will be much more gratifying than his money.”
– “Already turned into a case. Already want to talk settlement in the form of donation. Still know nothing about how his wife is taking this.”
* Wait. Back up. She goes to work “with her breasts out”?
* Looks like her boss is going to get screwed after all.
* A Las Vegas lawyer just hit the jackpot, and she didn’t even have to go to the casino.
* I don’t suppose you could call this a “meet cute”, like in a bad romantic comedy?
* And you thought you were having a bad Monday.
* PHONE TOPIC: Ladies, has this ever happened to you? Or, should we ask, has this ever NOT happened to you? What would you do? What should her boss do?
