How about you and I go out for a drink after work.
Female: No thank you. I have plans with my fiancé, Joe.
Male Supervisor: Oh, come on. You'll have a good time. You know, if
you're not nice to me, I'll have to remember that when we interview
for your promotion. Heh. Heh.

Email from Joe Jones to [Entire Office]:

15. You can’t tell anyone
First Employee: Hi Kelly. Do you have a minute?
Second Employee: Sure.
First Employee: Well, something really bad happened yesterday. But, if
I tell you, you can't tell anyone else.
Second Employee: OK. But, what in the world happened.
First Employee: I was sitting at my desk, and Tom came up to talk to
me. He put his arm around my shoulder and asked me to go with him
to the staff meeting. I felt very uncomfortable, but I didn't say
anything, because I thought he'd get angry.
Second Employee: Oh, don't worry. That's the way he is with
everybody.

when the doors closed, he grabbed my shoulders, and then he tried to
kiss me.

her as I could in that elevator.
