All people have a right to go to work without being harassed and this is clear harassment, full stop. All of us have a role to play in doing something to change that.
All industries need to focus on their hiring practices. Meg’s point about how those who exhibit bad behavior in positions of power often “pass” as acceptable to their superiors is extremely astute. Reference-checking with subordinates rather than superiors is key. The failure to do so in baseball is extremely galling because the high level job candidates are usually known. In most businesses, it’s hard to reference-check with subordinates because subordinates often don’t know that the person in a position of power is considering a change in jobs. This usually isn’t the case for interviews for GM’s of sports teams.
