00:00:06.005 --> 00:00:09.073
The way Tom handled
some of our vendors;

00:00:09.242 --> 00:00:10.951
I didn't think it was right.

00:00:11.034 --> 00:00:13.888
So, yeah, I talked
to my manager about it.

00:00:14.591 --> 00:00:16.316
You know, to be honest,

00:00:16.326 --> 00:00:17.875
what you're saying about Tom...

00:00:17.885 --> 00:00:19.242
it really surprises me.

00:00:19.252 --> 00:00:20.762
I'm not making this up.

00:00:20.798 --> 00:00:22.221
I'm not saying that you are.

00:00:22.291 --> 00:00:24.401
But I just want to
make sure that...well,

00:00:24.467 --> 00:00:26.380
this isn't just some misunderstanding.

00:00:26.403 --> 00:00:29.693
Luke works with him all the time
and he hasn't said anything.

00:00:29.770 --> 00:00:31.514
It's not a misunderstanding.

00:00:31.550 --> 00:00:35.201
What Tom's is doing is wrong,
and I think he should be stopped.

00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:37.383
We did an investigation.

00:00:37.426 --> 00:00:38.863
I talked to Tom;

00:00:38.899 --> 00:00:41.978
I confidentially surveyed
several of our vendors, and

00:00:41.989 --> 00:00:44.653
we didn't find any
concerns or harassment.

00:00:44.776 --> 00:00:46.963
I know Jazlan can be a little...

00:00:47.206 --> 00:00:48.322
thin skinned,

00:00:48.332 --> 00:00:51.106
but I just reminded Tom
to take it easy around her.

00:00:51.149 --> 00:00:53.149
And I said something
about her to Luke.

00:00:53.191 --> 00:00:55.223
Since the three of them work together,

00:00:55.234 --> 00:00:57.180
I figured Tom would tell him anyway.

00:00:57.217 --> 00:00:59.591
After that, I didn't think
much about it.

00:01:00.100 --> 00:01:04.289
It started a couple of days after
they finished the investigation

00:01:04.419 --> 00:01:05.394
I got...

00:01:05.404 --> 00:01:07.404
anonymous threatening emails;

00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.097
hang up phone calls
in the middle of the night.

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.651
And then...

00:01:11.693 --> 00:01:13.964
there was that time in the hallway.

00:01:15.413 --> 00:01:17.563
- Hey, Jaz, how's it going?
- Hey, Luke.

00:01:17.657 --> 00:01:19.137
Getting much sleep, lately?

00:01:29.332 --> 00:01:31.825
There are two traps that
can be very easy to fall into

00:01:31.835 --> 00:01:33.679
when it comes to retaliation.

00:01:33.727 --> 00:01:37.337
Assuming that if the original complaint
turns out to be unfounded,

00:01:37.347 --> 00:01:39.010
there's nothing to worry about...

00:01:39.046 --> 00:01:41.832
and failing to keep
things confidential.

00:01:42.088 --> 00:01:44.388
You can still be
charged with retaliation,

00:01:44.398 --> 00:01:48.579
even if the original claim is
investigated and found to be untrue.

00:01:48.875 --> 00:01:52.960
And we also need to be very careful
about keeping things confidential.

00:01:53.443 --> 00:01:57.241
The best advice is to tell the people
involved only what they need to know

00:01:57.251 --> 00:01:59.585
about the claims and
protected activities,

00:01:59.595 --> 00:02:01.086
when they need to know it.

00:02:01.249 --> 00:02:03.046
No more. No less.
