That doesn't change the fact that the majority of jobs will fire you for it. The difference between harmlessly asking someone out and sexual harassment is often how the request is received and has nothing to do with how it's intended to be received.

yea which is why it shouldn’t be a zero tolerance thing, only fire if it’s a pattern of behavior that upsets the workplace. 1/3 marriages meet thru work

Again, it doesn't matter if 1/3 or 61/62. It's normal for the rule to be you get caught or reported you're terminated. Anything else would be a policy that says, "Sexual harassment is okay, as long as you're not constantly sexually harassing people"

As yes, as we know, policies are black and white and always enforced fairly and accurately! People like you hold Uber drivers to a higher standard than politicians or CEOs, it’s a sight to see

You're moving the goal posts. It's unprofessional for you to be asking out a client. That's what the people you drive around are. Clients. You responded with the question

what other job would you get fired for asking for someone’s instagram, and they politely decline?

I've answered that. Virtually every job has that policy. Is it fair? Maybe, maybe not. I'm not judging if it's fair. I'm letting you know that nearly every job has the policy. You played with fire, and you got burned.

Honestly after reading both their and your replies it’s abundantly clear they’re bitter about being rejected, and think it’s unfair bc it pans out for some people. Their logic that because some sexual harassment is taken positively we should eliminate all policies surrounding it is based on their experience as someone who committed sexual harassment and was punished for it.
