I am currently in the process of filing a complaint of sexual harassment on my employer, a casino in Las Vegas. There is a current of "Assholiness" that is deep enough to swim in as far as sexual tension is concerned, and right now I am being a "whistleblower" on the company. I now more than ever resolve to make an asshole-free environment my right and responsibility. Thank you for your message! Sutton’s comments are an inspiration for me.

Twice the ED asked people on my behalf to wear as little perfume as possible. They continued to wear lots. Yesterday it was awful. I formally asked the ED for a ban on perfume in our office, based on noncompliance in the past. He asked folks not to wear perfume due to my allergy. Both women wore perfume today and one stated she didn't believe he has the right to have her not wear perfume. Do I have the right to a perfume-free atmosphere in the office?
