I met a friend for lunch the other day and she was upset. She wants to be a GP, has finished her degree and is currently doing hospital rotations (apparently, I know not what these terms mean). She was upset as all of the consultants in the department she was working in were really sleazy. She said it’s really common to be patted on the bottom or given a slight hug by a consultant. That there are usually a few sleazy ones and a few nice once’s, but she was upset as this department they were all sleazy. She said there’s a real ‘God complex’ going on with consultants and you are supposed to fawn over them.
I am aghast as working in financial services, a senior member of staff giving a junior female member of staff a pat on the bottom would be instant dismissal. A cuddle would be a final warning etc. Was she telling the truth? This sounds truly horrific!
