That’s not fun. That’s a hostile work environment.



Yeah this headline from WP is pretty weird, especially given he won. Can you imagine a women winning a sexual harassment case at work and the news reporting "women wins right to not be fun at work"

The headline altering feature needs removed. It gets it wrong as often as it gets it right. I'd rather have the original headline, even if it's click bait. If the headline is going to be altered a human needs to be doing it.


Sounds like a mild frat hazing.
