Hugging in the workplace is inappropriate.

I have been hugged by both women and men in the workplace for years with no issues. Couple of keys: seldom do I initiate the hug and virtually always it is in the open and never behind closed doors. Hugs can be a strong management tool when applied correctly.
-
I’ve been hugged by coworkers (male and female) and I feel I shouldn’t have to be put in a position where I have to say “please don’t hug me”. I think a handshake is more than enough in the workplace.
-
I understand and respect your position. As I said, I don't typically initiate the hug so you would be safe from me. But, I still believe that it can be a powerful management tool when employed properly. I also readily admit that I am a dinosaur.

Lol, fair enough

I do love the Asian greetings. We should adopt these customs. You keep your germs, I keep my germs. None sexual greetings.pic.twitter.com/1m1DRd9dIG

There is hugging... and there is bear hugging. If your grabbing them and not letting them go that’s creepy.

I have no idea who he is or what he's about, but I'm getting really tired of the world rotating around people who say they are uncomfortable about something.
-
This is the kind of thing someone who routinely makes women uncomfortable would say.
-
Whoa! Kitchen sink generalizations without a clue about my feminist activism for 40+ years make ME uncomfortable. Can we agree that all someone of any gender has to say is 'I'm uncomfortable' and everyone is supposed to stop whatever they're doing?
-
That certainly wasn’t what you were saying in your last comment.
-
Oh, Shana, my comment had nothing to do with hugging, not hugging, men, women. It was just about the phrase "that makes me uncomfortable" carrying an expectation that everything should stop and the uncomfortable person should be accommodated, absent any critical thinking.
-
Except the post was literally about women being uncomfortable with a man in such a position of power touching them. So you can try to justify it to yourself however you want lol.
-
I wasn't commenting about the issue, I was commenting about the term.
-
So you’re tired of sexual assault and unwanted contact making people uncomfortable. But the issue for you isn’t the actual harassment...it’s the fact that people get in trouble for doing it? I don’t think you realize that’s exactly what you’re implying.
