If I sent that photo to someone I worked with in the middle of a similar stream of conversation to what had taken place up to that point, I would not count on being "vigorous defended" by my my employer.

I think, in some instances, this current environment has gotten a little out of control. I cannot, however, see any instance where it would be anything other than suggestive of something more to text a shirtless picture of yourself to a female coworker. I'm not sure why you would text ANY photo of yourself to a female coworker, really. I do know that no one wants a shirtless photo of me, fortunately. I would not stand for that and I definitely wouldn't sit for one, that's for sure.

I haven't seen the pictures at hand and if I knew a coworker was an attorney and had worked on sexual discrimination cases, I sure as HELL wouldn't be sending her anything like that, just in case something nefarious was going on. Doesn't sound like Bucci was too smart in all this and I agree she may not be as innocent as some would make her out. It's just stupid. We've had some people fired here at work 10-12 years ago for something similar....just emails back and forth with no apparent interaction but they were explicit. Guess everyone has some type of hot button that needs to get pushed from time to time.

I dont think it happened here but generally...can we all agree

That in modern workplace relationships with people that are into texts and photos of themselves

Eventually, one of the people in the potential dating relationship will send a photo of them...maybe shirt off..maybe more......someone has to be the first to send...... so at that point they are either a freak if they dont get a picture back or they are in agreed relationship now if they get a like photo back.

Its not like photos are sent simultaneously.........if you are a guy, you are taking a chance now more than ever if you are wrong about you believe the girl thinks about you.

in the baseball card world, there are people that want the money first before they send the card. There are some buyers worried they will take the money and not send the card. However, if the buyer is wrong, they have recourse, they can get their money back if through credit card or ebay etc.

if you send a picture and you are wrong about who you sent it too., theres no getting it back!!!

If you can't tell whether or not someone is romantically interested in you then my advice would be to assume they're not and I would definitely advise against sending photos of your body to find out.

Stop making sense.

"I'm so into me and I'm sure you will be too once you see this."

well again, there are many many relationships where photos are exchanged. All i am saying is someone has to be the one to send first.

When this happens 1000s of times....there is bound to be a misunderstanding of what one thought of the relationship. In todays enviroment the ramifications are tough.

People get married all the time and both people believe they will be with each other forever and make promises...yet 1 out of 2 fail. So sometimes a mistake may of been made in that instance as well. Mistakes happen. (By the way i have heard countless stories of married couples that say someone kept pursuing them and they said no but later changed their mind and married that person)

I would rather get a photo and tell the person im not into them and that be the end of it.

I won’t comment on the potential harassment other then to exhale and thank the good Lord that camera phones and social media were not a thing in my formative (read:dumb) years.

I will say that I thought that Adrienne Lawrence was horrible on air. She did radio sports center on the Ryen Russillo show and would try to “cool it up” by providing the “dete’s” (her word not mine, thankfully). She would stammer and stutter through her 2 minutes on a daily basis to the point that it was unlistenable. So when i no longer heard her on the air I figured it was due to poor performance.

She is confusing causation and correlation. Her poor performance was the reason that she was not renewed, not the Bucci issue.
